This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of zipalertinib in combination with standard chemotherapy with pemetrexed and a platinum agent (either carboplatin or cisplatin) in patients with previously untreated, locally advanced or metastatic nonsquamous NSCLC harboring EGFR ex20ins mutations.
The study will be conducted in two parts:
- Part A: Safety lead-in to determine the recommended dose of zipalertinib in combination with standard chemotherapy pemetrexed and a platinum agent (either carboplatin or cisplatin) to be studied in Part B of the study.
- Part B: Randomized, controlled, open-label, multinational Phase 3 study to assess the efficacy and safety of zipalertinib in combination with standard chemotherapy with pemetrexed and a platinum agent (either carboplatin or cisplatin) compared to standard chemotherapy alone. An independent data monitoring committee (IDMC) will be established to monitor interim safety Data.
A treatment cycle is defined as 21 days for both parts of the study.
Part A: Safety Lead-In The primary objective of Part A is to determine the recommended dose of zipalertinib administered in combination with pemetrexed and a platinum agent (either carboplatin or cisplatin) to be studied in the Phase 3 portion of this study.
Approximately 6-12 patients will receive zipalertinib administered at an initial dose of zipalertinib PO BID (Dose Level 1) in combination with pemetrexed and carboplatin or cisplatin on a 21-day cycle. Patients may continue to receive study treatment until documentation of progressive disease (PD) or until other withdrawal criteria are met, whichever comes first. Patients will be enrolled using a rolling-6 design,35 and the determination of the dose of zipalertinib to be used in Part B of the study will be informed by the incidence of dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) observed during Cycle 1.
Part B: Phase 3 Enrollment into the Phase 3 portion of the study will begin following completion of Part A.
Approximately 300 patients will be randomized on a 1:1 basis to receive pemetrexed and a platinum agent (either carboplatin or cisplatin) with or without zipalertinib on a 21-day cycle.
Carboplatin or cisplatin will be administered for 4 cycles. Patients may continue to receive zipalertinib (experimental study arm) and pemetrexed (both study arms) until documentation of PD or until other withdrawal criteria are met, whichever comes first.
