A Phase I/Randomized Phase II Study of Docetaxel With or Without AZD4547 in Recurrent FGFRI-Amplified Squamous Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer


PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Determination of a recommended phase II dose for the combination of docetaxel and AZD4547
(FGFR inhibitor AZD4547). (Phase I) II. Estimation and comparison of progression-free
survival (PFS) of each treatment arm. (Phase II)

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Pharmacokinetic evaluation of docetaxel with or without concomitant AZD4547.
Pharmacokinetic evaluation of AZD4547 with concomitant docetaxel. (Phase I) II. Safety
assessment and toxicity characterization of the combination. (Phase I) III. Initial
assessment of clinical activity of the combination. (Phase I) IV. Response rate. (Phase II)
V. Overall survival. (Phase II) VI. Estimation of response to single agent AZD4547 among
patients who crossover from single agent docetaxel. (Phase II) VII. Further safety
assessment and toxicity characterization of AZD4547 alone and in combination with docetaxel.
(Phase II)

OUTLINE: This is a phase I, dose-escalation study of FGFR inhibitor AZD4547 followed by a
randomized phase II study.

PHASE I:

Patients receive docetaxel intravenously (IV) over 60 minutes on day 1 and FGFR inhibitor
AZD4547 orally (PO) twice daily (BID) on days 2-15 of course 1 and days 1-14 of all
subsequent courses. Courses repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or
unacceptable toxicity.

PHASE II, STEP I: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.

ARM I: Patients receive docetaxel IV over 60 minutes on day 1. Treatment repeats every 21
days for up to 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Patients who experience progressive disease may then receive FGFR inhibitor AZD4547 PO BID
on days 1-14.

ARM II: Patients receive docetaxel IV as in Arm I and FGFR inhibitor AZD4547 PO BID on days
1-14.

In both arms, courses repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or
unacceptable toxicity.

PHASE II, STEP II:

Patients receive FGFR inhibitor AZD4547 PO BID on days 1-14. Courses repeat every 21 days in
the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for 3 years.
