Summary

This trial is a 2-part study of AZD9291, an EGFR mutation positive non-small cell lung cancer drug, to assess effect on the pharmacokinetic parameters of simvastatin and simvastatin acid.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with EGFR mutation-positive NSCLC who've progressed after treatment with an EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor. They should have a life expectancy of at least 12 weeks, be in good physical condition (ECOG 0-1), and not have severe systemic diseases or active infections. Women must test negative for pregnancy or be non-child-bearing, and men agree to use condoms.
What is being tested?
The study tests how the drug AZD9291 affects blood levels of Simvastatin in patients. Part A examines the interaction between these drugs, while Part B allows continued access to AZD9291 post-study until disease progression or lack of benefit. It's an open-label Phase I trial where all participants receive the same treatment.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include those related to AZD9291 such as diarrhea, rash, dry skin, nail toxicity; and simvastatin-related like muscle pain, liver changes, and increased risk of diabetes. The study also monitors for any serious adverse reactions due to drug interactions.
