Summary:
RATIONALE: Sorafenib and erlotinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the
enzymes needed for cell growth. Sorafenib may also stop the growth of non-small cell lung
cancer by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Giving sorafenib together with erlotinib may kill
more tumor cells.
PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving sorafenib together with erlotinib
works in treating patients with stage IIIB or stage IV non-small cell lung cancer that has
not responded to chemotherapy.
Detailed description:
OBJECTIVES:
Primary
- To assess the response rate of sorafenib tosylate in combination with erlotinib
hydrochloride in patients with stage IIIB-IV non-small cell lung cancer refractory to 1
or 2 prior chemotherapy regimens.
Secondary
- To assess the response duration in patients treated with this regimen.
- To assess the disease control rate in patients treated with this regimen.
- To assess the progression-free survival of patients treated with this regimen.
- To assess the overall survival of patients treated with this regimen.
- To assess the safety and tolerability of this regimen in these patients.
- To analyze biomarkers, including evaluation of EGFR expression, mutational analysis of
EGFR and K-ras, and immunohistochemical analysis of EGFR downstream pathway
(phospho-EGFR, phospho-AKT, phospho-Erk, phospho-STAT3).
OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.
Patients receive oral erlotinib hydrochloride once daily and oral sorafenib tosylate twice
daily on days 1-28. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or
unacceptable toxicity.
Tissue samples are analyzed at the nucleic acid level for EGFR mutation (exon 18-21) and
K-ras mutation (exon 2), DNA mutations via PCR, presence of EGFR protein by IHC, and
downstream effectors of EGFR activation by IHC.
After completion of study therapy, patients are followed periodically.
Criteria for eligibility:
Criteria:
DISEASE CHARACTERISTICS:

- Advanced (stage IIIB-IV) or recurrent disease
- Must have failed 1 or 2 prior chemotherapy regimens, including platinum-containing
regimen
- At least 1 unidimensionally measurable lesion > 10 mm by spiral CT scan or > 20 mm by
conventional CT scan
- Previously irradiated lesions cannot be included as sites of measurable disease
unless clear tumor progression has been documented in the lesions since the end
of radiotherapy
- No known or suspected brain metastases
- Patients with clinical signs or symptoms that are suspicious of brain metastasis
must have a pre-treatment CT scan or MRI of the brain
- Patients with prior brain metastases are eligible provided they have completed
their treatment for brain metastases, no longer require corticosteroids, and are
asymptomatic

cell carcinoma, superficial bladder tumors (Ta, Tis and T1), or any cancer curatively
treated > 5 years before study
