Study Summary

This phase II trial studies how well fludeoxyglucose F-18 (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) and osimertinib works in evaluating glucose utilization in patients with EGFR activated glioblastoma. Osimertinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. 18F-FDG PET imaging may help to detect changes in tumor glucose utilization, which may allow investigators to obtain an early read out on the impact of osimertinib on recurrent glioblastoma patients whose tumors have EGFR activation.

Women of childbearing potential and men must agree to use adequatecontraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) prior tostudy entry and for the duration of study participation. Should a woman becomepregnant or suspect she is pregnant while participating in this study, she shouldinform her treating physician immediately.

  • Female subjects should be using highly effective contraceptive measures, andmust have a negative pregnancy test and not be breast-feeding prior to start ofdosing if of child-bearing potential or must have evidence of non-child-bearingpotential by fulfilling one of the following criteria at screening:

  • Post-menopausal defined as aged more than 50 years and amenorrheic for atleast 12 months following cessation of all exogenous hormonal treatments

  • Women under 50 years old would be considered postmenopausal if they havebeen amenorrheic for 12 months or more following cessation of exogenoushormonal treatments and with luteinizing hormone (LH) and folliclestimulating hormone (FSH) levels in the post-menopausal range for theinstitution

  • Documentation of irreversible surgical sterilization by hysterectomy,bilateral oophorectomy or bilateral salpingectomy but not tubal ligation

  • Men treated or enrolled on this protocol must also agree to use adequatecontraception prior to the study, for the duration of study participation, and for 4months after completion of osimertinib administration

  • Provision of informed consent for genetic research

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Involvement in the planning and/or conduct of the study

  • Previous enrollment in the present study or previous treatment with osimertinib

  • Any evidence of severe or uncontrolled systemic diseases, including uncontrolledhypertension and active bleeding diatheses, which in the investigator?s opinionmakes it undesirable for the patient to participate in the trial or which wouldjeopardize compliance with the protocol, or active infection including hepatitis B,hepatitis C and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)

  • Refractory nausea and vomiting, chronic gastrointestinal diseases, inability toswallow the formulated product or previous significant bowel resection that wouldpreclude adequate absorption of osimertinib

  • Any of the following cardiac criteria:

  • Mean resting corrected QT interval (QTc) > 470 msec obtained from anelectrocardiogram (ECG), using the screening clinic ECG machine derived QTcvalue

  • Any clinically important abnormalities in rhythm, conduction or morphology ofresting ECG e.g. complete left bundle branch block, third degree heart blockand second degree heart block

  • Any factors that increase the risk of QTc prolongation or risk of arrhythmicevents such as heart failure, hypokalemia, congenital long QT syndrome, familyhistory of long QT syndrome or unexplained sudden death under 40 years of agein first degree relatives or any concomitant medication known to prolong the QTinterval

Study Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Define the test - retest variance of tumor fludeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake using double baseline 18F-FDG PET imaging (18 to 54 hours apart) in patients with EGFR activated recurrent glioblastoma.

II. After defining #1, evaluate whether osimertinib can create a statistically significant decrease in glucose utilization as determined using early, post dosing (24-72 hour) FDG-PET imaging in patients with EGFR activated recurrent glioblastoma.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Safety and tolerability of osimertinib in this patient population. II. Determine clinical effect of osimertinib in this patient population, as determined by 6 months progression-free survival.

III. Correlated clinical effect of osimertinib with FDG-PET results in this patient population, to define by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis a clinically meaningful decrease in glucose utilization, which correlates with the clinical effect.

IV. Evaluate pharmacokinetic (PK) in this patient population using spot PK during imaging and at set time points during the study.

OUTLINE:

Within days -28 to -4, patients receive fludeoxyglucose F-18 intravenously (IV) and after 60 minutes undergo PET scan over 15 minutes. After 18-54 hours, patients undergo a second fludeoxyglucose F-18 PET scan. Patients then receive osimertinib orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days -3 to -1 and after 24-72 hours, undergo a third fludeoxyglucose F-18 PET scan. Patients then receive osimertinib PO QD on days 1-28. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 30 days and then every 2 months thereafter.
