Purpose

This phase III trial compares the effect of bevacizumab and osimertinib combination vs. osimertinib alone for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer that has spread outside of the lungs (stage IIIB-IV) and has a change (mutation) in a gene called EGFR. The EGFR protein is involved in cell signaling pathways that control cell division and survival. Sometimes, mutations in the EGFR gene cause EGFR proteins to be made in higher than normal amounts on some types of cancer cells. This causes cancer cells to divide more rapidly. Osimertinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking EGFR that is needed for cell growth in this type of cancer. Bevacizumab is in a class of medications called antiangiogenic agents. It works by stopping the formation of blood vessels that bring oxygen and nutrients to tumor. This may slow the growth and spread of tumor. Giving osimertinib with bevacizumab may control cancer for longer and help patients live longer as compared to osimertinib alone.

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

- Patient must have a pathologically-confirmed diagnosis of non-squamous, non-small
cell lung cancer (NSCLC)

- Patient must have advanced disease, defined as - either stage IV disease, stage IIIB
disease not amenable to definitive multi-modality therapy, or recurrent disease
after a prior diagnosis of stage I-III disease. All staging is via the American
Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC)/International Association for the Study of Lung
Cancer (IASLC) 8th edition staging criteria

- Patient must have somatic activating sensitizing mutation in EGFR (e.g. but not
limited to Exon 19 deletion, L858R, E709X, G719X, exon 19 insertions, L861Q, S768I).
Patients with non-sensitizing mutations in EGFR (EGFR exon 20 insertions) are not
eligible. Test results originating from a Clinical Laboratory Improvement Act
(CLIA)-certified or similarly accredited laboratory are acceptable; no specific
assay is mandated. Plasma, cytology, or tumor tissue can be utilized for mutation
testing

- Patient must not have received any prior treatment with an anti-VEGF agent

- NOTE: Prior treatment with an EGFR TKI is not allowed, however if a candidate
for this study has already started osimertinib within 21 days prior to
randomization, the exact osimertinib start date is known, and the patient had
the required study baseline imaging completed prior to the osimertinib start
date, the patient will be eligible

- Patients that have received prior radiation therapy are eligible. Radiation (limited
field stereotactic radiation or conventional radiation) must have been completed at
least one week prior to study drug initiation and more extensive field radiation
(i.e., whole-brain radiotherapy [WBRT]) must have been completed at least two weeks
prior to drug initiation

- Patient must not have any risk factors for anti-VEGF administration, specifically,
hemoptysis, active cardiovascular disease, uncontrolled hypertension, significant
proteinuria (screening urinalysis > 300 mg/dl) and tumor invading major blood
vessels

- Patient must have measurable disease. Baseline measurements of sites of disease must
be obtained within 4 weeks prior to study randomization. If a potential target
lesion is previously irradiated without subsequent growth and/or is radiated after
the imaging from which baseline measurements are obtained, they cannot be included
as target lesions, and additional target lesions are required to meet criteria for
measurable disease

- Patient must not have had any prior systemic treatment for metastatic disease

- Patient must be ≥ 18 years of age

- Patient must have an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of
0 to 2

- Patient must not be pregnant or breast-feeding due to the potential harm to an
unborn fetus and possible risk for adverse events in nursing infants with the
treatment regimens being used

- All females of childbearing potential must have a blood test or urine study within
14 days prior to randomization to rule out pregnancy

- A female of childbearing potential is defined as any woman, regardless of sexual
orientation or whether they have undergone tubal ligation, who meets the following
criteria: 1) has achieved menarche at some point, 2) has not undergone a
hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy; or 3) has not been naturally postmenopausal
(amenorrhea following cancer therapy does not rule out childbearing potential) for
at least 24 consecutive months (i.e., has had menses at any time in the preceding 24
consecutive months)

- Patient of childbearing potential and sexually active males must not expect to
conceive or father children by using accepted and effective method(s) of
contraception or by abstaining from sexual intercourse for 2 weeks prior to the
start of treatment, while on study treatment, and for

- 6 weeks after the last dose of protocol treatment for female patients on the
osimertinib (AZD9291) alone arm

- 4 months after the last dose of protocol treatment for male patients on
osimertinib (AZD9291) alone arm

- 6 months after the last dose of protocol treatment for all patients on
osimertinib (AZD9291) plus bevacizumab combination arm

- NOTE: Female patients should also not breastfeed while on treatment and for 6
months after the last dose bevacizumab

- Leukocytes >= 3,000/mcL (obtained =< 14 days prior to randomization)

- Absolute neutrophil count >= 1,500/mcL (obtained =< 14 days prior to randomization)

- Platelets >= 100,000/mcL (obtained =< 14 days prior to randomization)

[SGPT]) =< 2.5 x institutional ULN (obtained =< 14 days prior to randomization)

- Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients on effective anti-retroviral
therapy with undetectable viral load within 6 months are eligible for this trial

- For patients with evidence of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, the HBV
viral load must be undetectable on suppressive therapy, if indicated

- Patients with a history of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection must have been treated
and cured. For patients with HCV infection who are currently on treatment, they are
eligible if they have an undetectable HCV viral load

- Patients with treated brain metastases are eligible if neurologically stable without
glucocorticoid therapy after the stated washout period from radiation therapy (RT)
or surgery provided the metastatic lesions are non-hemorrhagic

the treating physician determines that immediate CNS specific treatment is not
required provided the metastatic lesions are non-hemorrhagic and are neurologically
stable without glucocorticoid therapy

does not have the potential to interfere with the safety or efficacy assessment of
the investigational regimen are eligible for this trial

Detailed Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. To evaluate progression-free survival (PFS) of osimertinib (AZD9291) and bevacizumab versus osimertinib (AZD9291) alone as first-line treatment for patients with metastatic EGFR-mutant lung cancers. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To evaluate overall survival (OS). II. To evaluate best objective response rate and duration of objective response. III. To evaluate time to central nervous system (CNS) progression and CNS PFS. IV. To evaluate toxicity of the combination regimen. CORRELATIVE OBJECTIVES: I. To characterize mechanisms of resistance to osimertinib (AZD9291) and osimertinib (AZD9291) with bevacizumab first-line therapy through post-progression circulating tumor-derived deoxyribonucleic acid (ctDNA). II. To assess for ctDNA clearance on study treatment and associate ctDNA clearance with clinical outcomes. OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 arms. ARM A: Patients receive osimertinib orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-21. Cycles repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. ARM B: Patients receive osimertinib PO QD on days 1-21 and bevacizumab intravenously (IV) over 30-90 minutes on day 1. Cycles repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients undergo echocardiography (ECHO), multigated acquisition scan (MUGA), computed tomography (CT) and may undergo magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and blood and urine sample collection on study. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 3 months for 10 years.
