Brief description of study

What is the purpose of this study?

BDTX-1535-101 is an open-label, Phase 1 dose escalation and Phase 2 multiple cohort study designed to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), optimal dosage, central nervous system (CNS) activity, and antitumor activity of BDTX-1535. The study population comprises adults with either advanced/metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with non-classical or acquired epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) resistance (EGFR C797S) mutations with or without CNS disease (in Phase 1 and Phase 2), or glioblastoma (GBM) expressing EGFR alterations (Phase 1 only). All patients will self-administer BDTX-1535 monotherapy by mouth in 21-day cycles.

Phase 1 enrollment is now complete. Phase 2 is currently enrolling.

Detailed description of study

What will happen during the study?

This is a Phase 1/2, first in human, open-label, multicenter dose escalation (Phase 1)
and expansion (Phase 2) study to assess the safety, tolerability, PK, CNS activity, and preliminary
antitumor activity of BDTX-1535 in patients with either recurrent GBM expressing EGFR alterations
(dose escalation only) or advanced/metastatic NSCLC harboring sensitive EGFR mutations with or
without CNS disease (dose escalation and expansion). For Phase 1 dose escalation, eligible recurrent
GBM patients must have previously received standard therapy with surgical resection followed by
radiation and/or temozolomide (TMZ). Eligible NSCLC patients must have progressed following
standard of care EGFR inhibitor therapy (also known as tyrosine kinase inhibitors [TKIs]; excluding
patients who will receive BDTX-1535 in the first line non-classical driver cohort during Phase 2 dose
expansion).

BDTX-1535 will be administered orally once daily (QD) for 21 days per cycle. The study will be
initiated with dose escalation which will consists of an initial single patient accelerated titration
followed by multi-patient dose escalation guided by the Bayesian optimal interval (BOIN) design.

Once a preliminary RP2D or set of RP2D(s) has been established based on safety, PK, PD, and
tolerability data during Phase 1, Phase 2 dose expansion will begin. BDTX-1535 will be explored in
NSCLC EGFR mutation-specific expansion cohorts to evaluate efficacy (by central and investigator
assessment), safety, PK, biomarker parameter estimates, and select PRO questions and to optimize the
appropriate BDTX-1535 dosage for these patient populations. The Sponsor will decide when the
Phase 2 cohorts will be open for enrollment and may limit enrollment of certain tumor types and/or
specific non-classical driver or acquired resistance C797S EGFR mutations based on emerging data.
In Phase 2 Dose Expansion, patients that are enrolled into the study, but are later determined to not
meet eligibility criteria, will be replaced by the Sponsor.
The Phase 2 EGFR mutation-specific dose expansion in patients with NSCLC will initiate with 3
cohorts:

• Cohort 1 (Non-classical Driver cohort): Advanced/metastatic NSCLC with a non-classical
driver EGFR mutation (eg, G719X) following up to 2 lines of therapy with only 1 prior
EGFR TKI regimen (third-generation preferred; other approved EGFR TKI acceptable).
Up to 40 patients will be enrolled.
• Cohort 2 (Acquired Resistance C797S cohort): Advanced/metastatic NSCLC with the
acquired resistance C797S EGFR mutation following up to 2 lines of therapy, including
only 1 EGFR TKI, which must be a third generation EGFR TKI (eg, osimertinib). Up to
40 patients will be enrolled.
• Cohort 3 (First-line Non-classical Driver cohort): Treatment-naïve advanced/metastatic
NSCLC with a non-classical driver EGFR mutation (1 cycle of chemotherapy or immune
checkpoint inhibitor are permitted). Up to 40 patients will be enrolled at an optimized
dosage per Sponsor decision

Up to the first 40 patients enrolled in Phase 2 dose expansion Cohorts 1 and 2 will be randomized to
receive BDTX-1535 QD at a dose of 100 mg or 200 mg to identify the optimal BDTX-1535 dosage.
After an optimal dose of BDTX-1535 is determined, subsequent patients in Cohorts 1 and 2 will be
enrolled into the mutation-specific cohorts at this optimal dose. Patients on study receiving a different
dosage will remain on that dosage or receive the optimal dosage per the discretion of the Investigator
in consultation with the Sponsor. 

Eligibility of study

You may be eligible for this study if you meet the following criteria:

  • Conditions: Advanced Non-Small Cell Squamous Lung Cancer, Lung Carcinoma, Lung Cancer
  • Age: 18 years - 100 years
  • Gender: All

Phase 2 Eligibility:

Key Inclusion Criteria Required for locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC:

  • Measurable disease by RECIST 1.1 criteria.
  • Adequate bone marrow or organ function.
  • Life expectancy of ≥ 3 months.
  • Sufficient performance status.
  • Confirmed NSCLC, without small cell lung cancer transformation with or without brain metastases.
  • Disease progression following or intolerance of standard of care (excluding patients in the treatment-naïve non-classical driver cohort):
    • Cohort 1 (Non-Classical driver cohort): Advanced/metastatic NSCLC with a non-classical driver EGFR mutation (eg, G719X) following up to 2 lines of therapy with only 1 prior EGFR TKI regimen (third-generation preferred; other approved EGFR TKI acceptable).
    • Cohort 2 (Acquired resistance C797S cohort): Advanced/metastatic NSCLC with the acquired resistance C797S EGFR mutation following up to 2 lines of therapy, including only one EGFR TKI, which must be a third generation EGFR TKI (eg, osimertinib).
    • Cohort 3 (First-line non-classical driver cohort): Treatment-naïve advanced/metastatic NSCLC with a non-classical driver EGFR mutation (1 cycle of chemotherapy or immune checkpoint inhibitor are permitted). Patients with co-occurring L858R mutations and a non-classical mutation are eligible for inclusion.
  • Identification of one (or more) of the following EGFR mutations by Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) as determined by a local assay performed in a validated laboratory in the absence of other known resistance mutations (eg, T790M, MET):
    • Non-classical driver EGFR mutations (eg, L861R, S768I, G719X).
    • EGFR acquired resistance mutation (eg, C797S) to a 3rd generation EGFR TKI.
    • For Phase 2, dose expansion, patients in Cohort 1 who received 3rd generation EGFR TKI (eg, osimertinib), the NGS report within 6 months prior to the start of Screening is acceptable. For patients in Cohort 2, the NGS report must be from the last disease progression on the immediate prior therapy. For patients in Cohort 3, the NGS report must be at the time of diagnosis.

Key Exclusion Criteria:

  • Known resistant mutations in tumor tissue or by liquid biopsy (eg, T790M, MET).
  • Received more than 1 EGFR TKI therapy (ie, erlotinib or gefitinib) for the treatment of metastatic or recurrent EGFR NSCLC.
  • Any history of interstitial lung disease related to EGFR TKI use.
  • Symptomatic or radiographic leptomeningeal disease.
  • Symptomatic brain metastases or spinal cord compression requiring urgent clinical intervention.
  • Unresolved toxicity from prior therapy.
  • Significant cardiovascular disease.
  • Major surgery within 4 weeks of study entry or planned during study.
  • Ongoing or recent anticancer therapy or radiation therapy.
  • Evidence of malignancy (other than study-specific malignancies) requiring active therapy within the next 2 years.
  • Active hepatitis B or C infection and/or known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) carrier.
  • Poorly controlled gastrointestinal disorders.
