This study will compare the effectiveness of osimertinib alone with the combination of osimertinib and chemotherapy (carboplatin and pemetrexed) in people with metastatic lung cancer that has a change (mutation) in the gene EGFR. Osimertinib alone is the usual treatment for metastatic EGFR-mutant lung cancer. Researchers think adding chemotherapy to osimertinib could possibly add to the anticancer effects of the usual treatment and help stop cancer from growing or spreading.
Name: Osimertinib
Name: Carboplatin
Name: Pemetrexed
Description: As the primary endpoint for the treatment comparison, it is the duration of time from randomization to the time of disease progression (in the CNS or systemically) or death. In addition, as a secondary endpoint, PFS is measured from the start of treatment to disease progression or death. Intracranial progression-free survival (PFS) is defined as the duration of time from time of randomization to time of progression (in the CNS) or death, whichever occurs first. Overall survival (OS) is defined as the duration of time from first treatment to time of death.
Measure: Determine the progression-free survival Time: 2 yearsDescription: Best overall response rate (confirmed partial and complete responses) will be assessed as part of this study. All responses must be confirmed on subsequent scan to be considered a true response. Tumor response will be assessed using RECIST 1.1
Measure: overall response rate Time: 2 yearsAllocation: Randomized
Crossover Assignment
There is one SNP
Patients will be seen on C1D1 for osimertinib start (telemedicine visits for C1D1 assessments are acceptable) Randomization/treatment portion: Patients will be randomized to continue osimertinib alone (Arm A) or addition of carboplatin/pemetrexed chemotherapy to osimertinib (Arm B).Randomization will be accomplished by the method of random permuted block and patients will be stratified by type of EGFR mutation (EGFR exon 19/EGFR L858R or other) and presence of CNS metastases (absent, present). --- L858R ---
