Boosting Osimertinib Blood Brain Barrier Penetration
Sponsor: Maastricht University Medical Center
Summary
The goal of this proof-of-concept clinical study is to determine the effect of combining osimertinib with febuxostat on cerebrospinal fluid concentrations of osimertinib in patients with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The main question it aims to answer is: what is the effect of combining osimertinib with the ABCG2 inhibitor febuxostat on cerebrospinal fluid to unbound plasma osimertinib concentration ratio in patients with EGFR mutated NSCLC without central nervous system (CNS) metastases and without the ABCG2 34G\>A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)?

Osimertinib & febuxostat
Combining osimertinib with the ABCG2 inhibitor febuxostat to evaluate the effect on CSF concentrations of osimertinib
Inclusion criteria: In order to be eligible to participate in this study, a subject must meet all of the following criteria: 1. The patient has metastatic EGFR-mutated NSCLC and is treated with osimertinib as part of regular care with CT-confirmed stable disease or better.

The patient is able and willing to sign informed consent prior to any tests or procedures. 5. The patient is able and willing to undergo additional blood sampling for e.g. therapeutic drug monitoring. 6. The patient is able and willing to undergo lumbar punctions to obtain CSF. 7. The patient must meet the criteria stated in the approved regulatory indication(s) for osimertinib where the clinical study will be performed and agree to the restrictions, monitoring, and dose-adjustment criteria stipulated in the associated product label. 8. The patient does not harbour the ABCG2 34G\>A single nucleotide polymorphism. 9. The patient does not have any central nervous system (CNS) metastases. 10. Patients with HBV are only eligible for inclusion if they meet all the following criteria: * Demonstrated absence of HCV co-infection or history of HCV co-infection * Demonstrated absence of HIV infection * Participants with active HBV infection are eligible if they are: * Receiving anti-viral treatment for at least 6 weeks prior to study treatment, HBV DNA is suppressed to \<100 IU/mL and transaminase levels are below ULN. * Participants with a resolved or chronic HBV infection are eligible if they are: * Negative for HBsAg and positive for hepatitis B core antibody \[anti-HBc IgG or total anti-HBc Ab\]. In addition, patients should be referred to a local hepatologist and treated as per local guidelines. or * Positive for HBsAg, but for \> 6 months have had transaminases levels below ULN and HBV DNA levels below \<100 IU/mL or below the detectable limit of locally available test kit (i.e., are in an inactive carrier state). In addition, patients must be receiving anti-viral prophylaxis for 2-4 weeks prior to study treatment. 11. Patients with HIV are only eligible for inclusion if they meet all the following criteria: * Demonstrated absence of HBV/ HCV co-infection * Undetectable viral RNA load for 6 months * CD4+ count of \>350 cells/µL * No history of AIDS-defining opportunistic infection within the past 12 months * Stable for at least 4 weeks on the same anti-HIV medications 12. Patients must be willing to use protocol specified method of contraception during treatment with osimertinib and 6 weeks tafter the lost dose of osimertinib. * Females who are not abstinent (in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle choice of the patient) and intend to be sexually active with a male partner must be using highly effective contraceptive measures, and must have a negative pregnancy test prior to start of dosing if of child-bearing potential, or must have evidence of non-child-bearing potential by fulfilling one of the following criteria at screening: * Post-menopausal defined as aged 50 years or more and amenorrhoeic for at least 12 months following cessation of all exogenous hormonal treatments * Women under 50 years old would be considered postmenopausal if they have been amenorrhoeic for 12 months or more following cessation of exogenous hormonal treatments and with LH and FSH levels in the post-menopausal range for the institution * Documentation of irreversible surgical sterilisation by hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy or bilateral salpingectomy but not tubal ligation. * Male participants must be willing to use barrier contraception Exclusion criteria: A potential subject who meets any of the following criteria will be excluded from participation in this study: 1. The patient has an acute gout attack, and medical history of gout or xanthinuria 2. The patient uses urate-lowering agents, azathioprine, 6-mercaptopurine, tioguanine 3. The patient uses potent inducers of UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) enzymes, such as rifampicin and carbamazepine 4. The patient uses prohibited co-medication: drugs that moderately or strongly inhibits or induces CYP3A4 or P-glycoprotein (P-gp) 5. The patient has received prior treatment with intrathecal chemotherapy 6. The patient has moderate or severe hepatic dysfunction (Child Pugh B or C) 7. The patient has a significantly increased rate of uric acid production (such as in Lesch-Nyhan syndrome) 8. The patient is pregnant or lactating 9. The patient has been diagnosed with severe cardiovascular conditions (including history of myocardial infarction, stroke or instable angina pectoris, or congestive heart failure) 10. Any of the following cardiac criteria: * Mean resting corrected QT interval (QTc) \> 470 msec, obtained from 3 electrocardiograms (ECGs), using the screening clinic ECG machine derived QTc value. * Any clinically important abnormalities in rhythm, conduction or morphology of resting ECG e.g. complete left bundle branch block, third degree heart block and second degree heart block. * Patient with any factors that increase the risk of QTc prolongation or risk of arrhythmic events such as electrolyte abnormalities including: Hypokalaemia\* ≥ CTCAE Grade 2 (\*correction of electrolyte abnormalities should be documented prior to first dose), heart failure, congenital long QT syndrome, family history of long QT syndrome, or unexplained sudden death under 40 years of age in first-degree relatives or any concomitant medication known to prolong the QT interval and cause Torsade de Pointes. 11.

Radiotherapy treatment to more than 30% of the bone marrow or with a wide field of radiation within 4 weeks of the first dose of IP. 24.
