Brief Summary:

This study is being done to evaluate the safety of the investigational study drug, BGB324 when administered in combination with docetaxel, and to establish the maximum tolerated dose.

Condition or disease	Intervention/treatment	Phase
Non-Small Cell Lung Carcinoma	Drug: BGB324; Drug: Docetaxel	Phase 1

Detailed Description:

Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide with an estimated incidence of 1.6 million cases resulting in 1.4 million deaths in annually. Non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) represents 80-85% of cases, and adenocarcinoma is the most common histology.2 The majority of NSCLC patients present with advanced or metastatic disease that is not amenable to surgical resection. Platinum-based combination chemotherapy has reached a therapeutic plateau with a median overall survival (OS) of 7.4 to 9.9 months.

BGB324 is a potent selective small molecule inhibitor of Axl, a surface membrane protein kinase receptor that is over-expressed in many metastatic solid tumors and has been identified as a marker of a poor prognosis in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Arm	Intervention/treatment
Experimental: BGB324 in combination with docetaxel; The dose of docetaxel will be 75 mg/m2 given IV every 21 days. The dose of BGB324 will be escalated in a standard 3+3 fashion until a maximum tolerated dose is determined.

Primary Outcome Measures :

1. Determine the maximum tolerated dose of BGB324 in combination with docetaxel [ Time Frame: 42 days or 2 cycles of 21 days ]
   Determine and recommended the Phase 2 dose of BGB324 administered with the standard dose of docetaxel in patients in NSCLC by pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetic assessments.

Ages Eligible for Study:	18 Years and older (Adult, Older Adult)
Sexes Eligible for Study:	All

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

A patient is eligible for the study if the following criteria are met:

1. Provision of written informed consent to participate in this investigational study
2. Histologically or cytologically confirmed advanced (stage 4, according to the American Joint Committee on Cancer [AJCC] Staging manual) NSCLC
3. Up to three previous lines of therapy, of which one must have been a platinum-based doublet therapy and no more than two were cytotoxic chemotherapy.
4. Radiographic disease recurrence or progression during or after the last line of chemotherapy
5. Patients with known activating EGFR mutations or ALK rearrangements should have progressed after appropriate targeted treatment in addition to progressing during or after platinum-based doublet chemotherapy
6. European Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0 or 1
7. Age 18 years or older
8. Measurable or evaluable disease according to RECIST v1.1
9. Previously treated brain metastases (surgery and/or radiation therapy) are eligible, provided that patients are asymptomatic and not requiring corticosteroids

10. The following minimum intervals are required between prior treatment and initiation of study therapy:

    Cytotoxic chemotherapy: 3 weeks Molecularly targeted therapy or immunotherapy: 2 weeks Conventional fractionated radiation therapy: 2 weeks Stereotactic radiation therapy: 1 week Major surgery: 3 weeks

11. Adequate hematologic function (absolute neutrophil count [ANC] ≥ 1500 cells/µL; hemoglobin ≥ 9 g/dL; platelets ≥ 100,000/µL
12. Adequate renal function (serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 mg/dL or calculated creatinine clearance ≥ 50 mL/min using the Cockcroft-Gault equation)
13. Adequate hepatic function: total bilirubin ≤ upper limit of normal [ULN], alanine aminotransferase [ALT] ≤ 1.5 x ULN, aspartate aminotransferase [AST] ≤ 1.5 x ULN). ALT and AST ≤ 5x ULN if documented liver metastases
14. Previous treatment-associated toxicities resolved to CTCAE grade ≤2 (except alopecia)
15. Adequate archival tissue (10-15 slides, or 5 slides with 3 sections per slide) for biomarker analysis

16. Female patients of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test within 7 days prior to taking their first dose of BGB324. Male patients and female patients of reproductive potential must agree to practice highly effective methods of contraception (such as hormonal implants, combined oral contraceptives, injectable contraceptives, intrauterine device with hormone spirals, total sexual abstinence, vasectomy) throughout the study and for ≥3 months after the last dose of BGB324. Female patients are considered NOT of childbearing potential if they have a history of surgical sterility, including tubal ligation, or evidence of post-menopausal status defined as any of the following:

    • Natural menopause with last menses >1 year ago
    • Radiation induced oophorectomy with last menses >1 year ago
    • Chemotherapy induced menopause with last menses >1 year ago

Exclusion Criteria

A patient is excluded from the study if any of the following criteria are met:

1. Pregnant or lactating
2. Abnormal left ventricular ejection fraction on echocardiography (less than the lower limit of normal for a patient of that age at the treating institution or <45%)
3. History of an ischemic cardiac event including myocardial infarction within 3 months of study entry
4. NSCLC with evidence of a centrally cavitating lesion
5. Peripheral neuropathy NCI CTCAE ≥Grade 2 at baseline
