Trial Information

A Pharmacogenetic and Pharmacodynamic Study of Erlotinib (OSI-774) Toxicity in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors


PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To determine if a significant correlation exists between the length of the CA
dinucleotide repeat polymorphism in the EGFR gene and observed toxicity in patients treated
with OSI-774.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To study the pharmacodynamic effects of OSI-774 on EGFR activity and MAP kinase signaling
using skin as a surrogate tissue.

II. To determine if interindividual variation of OSI-774 pharmacokinetics is related to a
previously described CYP3A5 genetic polymorphism.

III. To evaluate whether toxicity or inhibition of EGFR phosphorylation correlates with
OSI-774 AUC in patients treated with OSI-774.

IV. To describe the observed anti-tumor response and toxicities in patients with advanced
solid tumors treated with single agent fixed dose of OSI-774.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to length of CA
dinucleotide repeat polymorphism (short vs medium vs long).

Patients receive oral erlotinib on days 1-28. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of
disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.


Inclusion Criteria:



- Patients must have histologically or cytologically confirmed metastatic or
unresectable non-small cell lung cancer, squamous cell carcinoma of the head and
neck, or ovarian cancer

- Eligible patients must have been off previous anticancer therapy including
chemotherapy, radiotherapy, biological therapy, or other investigational therapy for
at least 4 weeks before study entry (6 weeks if prior therapy included nitrosoureas
or mitomycin C)

- ECOG performance status =< 2 (Karnofsky >= 60%)

- Life expectancy of greater than 12 weeks

- Leukocytes >= 3,000/ul

- Absolute neutrophil count >= 1,500/ul

- Platelets >= 100,000/ul

- Total bilirubin within normal institutional limits

- Creatinine within normal institutional limits OR creatinine clearance > 60
mL/min/1.73 m^2 for patients with creatinine levels above institutional normal

- Patients must have measurable or assessable disease

- The effects of OSI-774 on the developing human fetus are unknown; for this reason
women of childbearing potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception
(hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) prior to study entry and
for the duration of study participation; should a woman become pregnant or suspect
she is pregnant while participating in this study, she should inform her treating
physician immediately

- Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document

Exclusion Criteria:

- Patients who have had chemotherapy or radiotherapy within 4 weeks (6 weeks for
nitrosoureas or mitomycin C) prior to entering the study or those who have not
recovered from adverse events due to agents administered more than 4 weeks earlier;
patients with prior treatment with small molecule inhibitors of EGFR, including
erlotinib and gefitinib, are not eligible for this study

- Patients may not be receiving any other investigational agents

- Patients with uncontrolled brain metastasis; patients with brain metastases must have
stable neurologic status following local therapy (surgery or radiation) for at least
4 weeks, and must be without neurologic dysfunction that would confound the
evaluation of neurologic and other adverse events

- History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic
composition to OSI-774

- Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to ongoing or active
infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac
arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with
study requirements

- Pregnant women are excluded from this study because OSI-774 is an agent with the
potential for teratogenic or abortifacient effects; because there is an unknown but
potential risk for adverse events in nursing infants secondary to treatment of the
mother with OSI-774, breastfeeding should be discontinued if the mother is treated
with either agent

- HIV-positive patients receiving combination anti-retroviral therapy are excluded from
the study because of possible pharmacokinetic interactions with OSI-774 or other
agents administered during the study; appropriate studies will be undertaken in
patients receiving combination anti-retroviral therapy when indicated

- Patients with significant ophthalmologic abnormalities, including: severe dry eye
syndrome, kerato-conjunctivitis sicca, Sjogren's syndrome, severe exposure
keratopathy, disorders that might increase the risk for epithelium-related
complications (e.g. bullous keratopathy, aniridia, severe chemical burns,
neutrophilic keratitis); patients with mild forms of any of the above, an
asymptomatic history, or a normal ophthalmologic examination may be considered for
inclusion at the discretion of the investigator; an ophthalmologic exam is not needed
prior to this study unless clinically indicated; patients with treatable conditions
(e.g. infectious keratitis/conjunctivitis, allergic conjunctivitis) may be
reevaluated for study eligibility after treatment or resolution of the condition; use
of contact lenses during the course of this trial may increase the risk of corneal
complications and will be strongly discouraged

- Serious, non-healing wound ulcer, or bone fracture

- Major surgical procedure, open biopsy or significant traumatic injury within 14 days
prior to Day 1; following such procedures or injuries, wound healing should be
evident prior to initiation of therapy

Type of Study:

Interventional

Study Design:

Endpoint Classification: Safety Study, Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Treatment

Outcome Measure:

Rate of diarrhea and skin rash across the short, medium, and long genotype frequencies of the CA polymorphism

Outcome Description:

Compared using Armitage's test for a trend in proportions. In the event that the relationship between toxicity and length of the polymorphism is not monotone, a two degree-of-freedom chisquare test will be used in place of the trend test. The number of CA repeats treated as a continuous variable by averaging the number of repeats on each chromosome. Logistic regression analysis will then be performed to model the probability of toxicity as a function of the average length.

Outcome Time Frame:

Baseline

Safety Issue:

Yes
