This phase II trial studies how well fludeoxyglucose F-18 (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) and osimertinib works in evaluating glucose utilization in patients with EGFR activated glioblastoma. Osimertinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. 18F-FDG PET imaging may help to detect changes in tumor glucose utilization, which may allow investigators to obtain an early read out on the impact of osimertinib on recurrent glioblastoma patients whose tumors have EGFR activation.
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. Define the test - retest variance of tumor fludeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake using double baseline 18F-FDG PET imaging (18 to 54 hours apart) in patients with EGFR activated recurrent glioblastoma. II. After defining #1, evaluate whether osimertinib can create a statistically significant decrease in glucose utilization as determined using early, post dosing (24-72 hour) FDG-PET imaging in patients with EGFR activated recurrent glioblastoma. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. Safety and tolerability of osimertinib in this patient population. II. Determine clinical effect of osimertinib in this patient population, as determined by 6 months progression-free survival. III. Correlated clinical effect of osimertinib with FDG-PET results in this patient population, to define by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis a clinically meaningful decrease in glucose utilization, which correlates with the clinical effect. IV. Evaluate pharmacokinetic (PK) in this patient population using spot PK during imaging and at set time points during the study. OUTLINE: Within days -28 to -4, patients receive fludeoxyglucose F-18 intravenously (IV) and after 60 minutes undergo PET scan over 15 minutes. After 18-54 hours, patients undergo a second fludeoxyglucose F-18 PET scan. Patients then receive osimertinib orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days -3 to -1 and after 24-72 hours, undergo a third fludeoxyglucose F-18 PET scan. Patients then receive osimertinib PO QD on days 1-28. Courses 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 then every 2 months thereafter.

Intrapatient variance of tumor fludeoxyglucose F-18 (FDG) uptake as determined by a double baseline FDG positron emission tomography (PET) prior to osimertinib exposure
Test-retest variances in FDG uptake will be estimated considering the variance of sample specific differences between first and second PET scans. This variance component will be estimated using a Bayesian conjugate analysis of Gaussian variates. Model adequacy diagnostics will compare predictive distributions to the observed data via posterior predictive assessment. Bayesian (95%) high posterior density intervals, and Bayesian posterior means will be used as the basis for statistical inference.
Time frame: At baseline
Change in FDG uptake in tumor after short course exposure to osimertinib
In order to estimate the difference in FDG tumor uptake between pre and post exposure to osimertinib, a simple change model will be considered, comparing the mean baseline uptake with the mean uptake, after treatment. A formal test for difference in mean will be based on a paired T statistic for difference in mean. 95% confidence intervals will be used to quantify uncertainty in estimation.
Time frame: Baseline to day -1
Incidence and severity of adverse events (AEs) assessed by the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 4.03
All events will be recorded from the time a subject has signed the Informed Consent Form. AE analyses will include only treatment emergent adverse events. Specifically, following quantities will be estimated: incidence (number \[no.\] of patients) and frequency (no. of events) overall and broken down by System Organ Classification and incidence (no. of patients) and frequency (no. of events) broken down by severity.
Time frame: Up to 2 years
Percentage of participants surviving 6 months from the start of study treatment without progression of disease determined by progression free survival (PFS) according to Response Assessment in Neuro-oncology criteria
Will be based on the sampling distribution of a simple binomial proportion. Additionally, descriptive data will be provided for the duration of PFS as a Kaplan-Meier curve.
Time frame: From the date of study treatment initiation to the date of the first documented progression or to death due to any cause, assessed up to 6 months
Correlation between the reduction in glucose uptake and 6 months PFS
Reduction in glucose uptake will be correlated with clinical outcome-- 6 months PFS, receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) analyses of simple thresholding strategies will be performed using leave one out cross validation.
Time frame: Up to 2 years
Concentrations of osimertinib and metabolites AZ5104 and AZ7550 in post-dosing plasma samples.
PK concentration data will be summarized using appropriate summary statistics
Time frame: At the end of Cycle 1 (each cycle is 28 days).
