This trial is testing two novel combinations (temozolomide plus osimertinib OR temozolomide plus lorlatinib) which have not been evaluated in clinical trials. Thus, the exact benefits of these novel combinations are unclear. However, based on the mechanism of action of temozolomide and CNS(Central Nervous System) penetration/activity in other tumor types, it is hypothesized that adding temozolomide to osimertinib or temozolomide to lorlatinib may provide improvement in CNS disease control in patients with CNS progression on either of these latter two TKIs (Tyrosine kinase inhibitors).

Temozolomide is an oral alkylating chemotherapy which has good CNS penetration and has demonstrated CNS responses in both primary brain tumors (e.g., glioblastoma and anaplastic astrocytoma) and in small cell lung cancer (SCLC) brain metastases. Preclinical data from glioblastoma suggests potential synergy of concurrent ALK or EGFR inhibition with temozolomide and early phase trials in glioblastoma are ongoing investigating such combinations. It is felt that combining temozolomide with osimertinib or lorlatinib may be beneficial for patients with progressive CNS disease on either of these TKIs because of the high CNS penetration of temozolomide, good CNS activity of temozolomide in other tumor types and preclinical data from glioblastoma suggesting a potential enhanced effect of concurrent EGFR and ALK/ROS1 inhibition with temozolomide.

Adverse events
Adverse events will be determined by the common terminology criteria for adverse events version 5.0
Time frame: Up to 3.5 years
CNS response rate
Central Nervous System response rate according to the Response assessment in neuro-oncology (RANO) criteria per investigator assessment. Evaluable CNS lesions may not have been previously irradiated unless they are definitively progressing following radiation and prior to enrollment on the study.
Time frame: Up to 3.5 years
Extra-CNS response rate
Extra-CNS response rate according to response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (RECIST) v1.1 per investigator assessment.
Time frame: Up to 3.5 years
Overall response rate
Overall response rate including both RANO criteria for CNS response rate and RECIST v1.1 for extra-CNS response rate per investigator assessment.
Time frame: Up to 3.5 years
Incidence of improvement in neurological function
Incidence of improvement in neurological function on two successive exams when compared to baseline as determined by one of two study neuro-oncologists
Time frame: Up to 3.5 years
Progression free survival (PFS)
PFS will be defined as time from enrollment until development of CNS progressive disease according to the RANO criteria, development of extra-CNS disease progression according to RECIST v1.1 or death.
Time frame: Up to 3.5 years
CNS PFS
CNS PFS will be defined as time from enrollment until development of CNS progressive disease per investigator assessment according to the RANO criteria or death.
Time frame: Up to 3.5 years
Extra-CNS PFS
Extra-CNS PFS will be defined as time from enrollment until development of progressive disease outside the CNS per investigator assessment according RECIST v1.1 or death.
Time frame: Up to 3.5 years
Overall Survival
OS will be defined as time from enrollment until death.Patients alive at date of end of study visit will be censored for survival.
Time frame: Up to 3.5 years
