Summary: This phase I trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of osimertinib, cetuximab, and tucatinib in treating patients with EFGR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer that is stage IV or has come back (recurrent). Osimertinib and tucatinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Cetuximab is a chimeric human/mouse IgG1 monoclonal antibody that targets epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), a receptor overexpressed in many types of cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving osimertinib, cetuximab, and tucatinib may work better in treating patients with non-small cell lung cancer.

Detailed description: PRIMARY OBJECTIVE : I. To estimate the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of osimertinib, cetuximab, and tucatinib in participants with EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have acquired resistance to EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI). SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To evaluate the toxicities of osimertinib, cetuximab, and tucatinib in participants with EGFR-mutant NSCLC who have acquired resistance to EGFR-TKI. II. To obtain preliminary assessment of anti-tumor activity of osimertinib, cetuximab, and tucatinib in participants with EGFR-mutant NSCLC who have acquired resistance to EGFR-TKI (osimertinib). III. To obtain preliminary assessment of anti-tumor activity of osimertinib, cetuximab, and tucatinib in the dose expansion cohort of participants with EGFR-mutant NSCLC who progressed on first-line osimertinib and do not have non-ERBB bypass tract mechanisms of resistance, including a subset of participants positive for HER2 aberrant signaling as determined by immunohistochemistry (IHC), fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and/or next generation sequencing (NGS). OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of tucatinib and cetuximab. Patients receive tucatinib 200mg orally BID, osimertinib 80mg orally daily, and cetuximab 250mg/m^2 IV every 2 weeks of a 28-day cycle. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 30 days and every 12 weeks for up to 2 years.

Criteria for eligibility:
Criteria:
Inclusion Criteria: - Participants with Stage IV or recurrent/metastatic histologically confirmed non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). - NSCLC must harbor at least one of the following EGFR activating mutations: Exon 21 L858R, Exon 19 deletion, Exon 18 G719X, Exon 21 L861Q, Exon 20 S768I. - For patients in the dose escalation cohort, patients must have progressed on any prior EGFR-Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor (TKI) and if T790M positive must have also progressed on osimertinib. Participants in the dose expansion cohort must have had progressive disease as assessed by Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) version (v)1.1 criteria on osimertinib as first-line therapy. - 4. Participants in the dose expansion cohort must be negative for clinically significant non-ERBB bypass tract resistance such as MET amplification, BRAF mutation, RAS-RAF-MAPK alteration, ALK fusion, RET fusion by a Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) (performed after progression on prior EGFR-TKI; if any questions please consult with the Principal Investigator). A defined subset of patients in the expansion cohort will have human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER2) aberrant signaling as putative resistance to osimertinib with overexpression/amplification (or more rarely HER2 Exon 20 insertion mutation) as determined by IHC (3+ IHC) or FISH (HER2/CEP17 > 2.2 or HER2 copy number > 6) or NGS for HER2 mutation. - Adequate archival tissue from a biopsy performed after progression of disease on previous osimertinib (or last EGFR-TKI for dose escalation cohort) or willingness to consent for a fresh tumor biopsy. - Participants must have measurable disease by RECIST 1.1, by positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) or CT imaging within 28 days prior to registration. The CT from a combined PET/CT may be used only if it is of diagnostic quality. - Men and women >=18 years of age at the time of consent. - Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0-1. - Life expectancy greater than 3 months. - Absolute neutrophil count >= 1.5 x 10^9/L. - Platelets >= 100 x 10^9/L. - Hemoglobin >= 9 g/dL. - Serum albumin >= 2.5 g/dL. - Bilirubin =< 1.5 x the upper limit of normal (ULN). - Alkaline phosphatase (ALP), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and aspartate transaminase (AST) =< 2.5 x ULN. - Potassium within institutional normal limits. - Magnesium within institutional normal limits. - Coagulation parameters of international normalized ratio (INR) < 1.5 and partial thromboplastin time (PTT) < 30 seconds. - Creatinine =< 1.5 x ULN or calculated creatinine clearance >= 50 mL/min (per the Cockcroft-Gault formula). - If brain metastases are present, they must be stable and asymptomatic. Participants on corticosteroids for brain metastases are excluded. - Left ventricular ejection fraction 50% or more on echocardiogram or multigated acquisition scan. - Individuals of child-bearing potential must test negative for pregnancy =< 14 days prior to receiving first dose of study medication based on a serum pregnancy test and agree to use 2 methods of birth control or abstain from heterosexual activity during the study and for 6 months following the last dose of the study drug(s), whichever is longer; or be of non- childbearing potential. Non-childbearing potential is defined as (by other than medical reasons) * >= 45 years of age and has not had menses for greater than 2 years. * Amenorrheic for < 2 years without a hysterectomy and oophorectomy and a follicle-stimulating hormone value in the postmenopausal range upon pretrial (screening) evaluation. *Post hysterectomy, oophorectomy or tubal ligation. Documented hysterectomy or oophorectomy must be confirmed (of the actual procedure or confirmed by an ultrasound). Tubal ligation must be confirmed (of the actual procedure) otherwise the participant must be willing to use 2 adequate barrier methods throughout the study, starting with the screening visit through 6 months after the last dose of study therapy. - Ability to swallow pills. - Ability to understand and willingness to sign an informed consent form. - Ability to adhere to the study visit schedule and protocol requirements. - Participants previously on osimertinib allowed to continue prior to initiating study. Exclusion Criteria: - History of pneumonitis requiring steroids, including history of radiation-induced pneumonitis. - Known or suspected leptomeningeal disease as documented by the investigator. Stable asymptomatic brain metastases not requiring steroids is allowed; radiation for brain metastases is allowed as long as there is a two-week washout period prior to starting study treatment. - Have poorly controlled (> 1/week) generalized or complex partial seizures, or manifest neurologic progression due to brain metastases notwithstanding central nervous system (CNS)-directed therapy. - The participant has a known allergy / history of hypersensitivity reaction to any of the treatment components (including any ingredient or similar ingredient used in the product formulations) or red meat. - History of tick bite or any other contraindication to one of the administered treatments. - History of arterial or venous thromboembolism within 3 months prior to study enrollment.
