NCT01685138

Brief Summary

A single-arm, open-label, two-stage multicenter, phase II study. Patients were pre-screened for ALK positive status. Treatment with LDK378 at 750 mg qd was continued until the patient experienced unacceptable toxicity that precluded further treatment, discontinued treatment at the discretion of the investigator or patient, started a new anticancer therapy and/or died. LDK378 was continued beyond RECIST defined progressive disease (PD) as assessed by the investigator, if in the judgment of the investigator, there was evidence of clinical benefit. Patients who discontinued the study medication in the absence of progression continued to be followed for tumor assessment until the time of PD as assessed by the investigator. Male and female patients aged 18 or over with ALK-rearranged non-small cell cancer (NSCLC) were screened for eligibility. Patients had to have received no prior crizotinib, and had to be chemotherapy-naïve or been pretreated with cytotoxic chemotherapy (up to three prior lines).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Overall Response Rate (ORR) by Investigator Assessment

    ORR per RECIST 1.1 calculated as the percentage of participants with a best overall response (OR) defined as complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) as assessed by the investigator. CR:Disappearance of all non-nodal target lesions. In addition, any pathological lymph nodes assigned as target lesions must have a reduction in short axis to \< 10 mm. PR: At least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameter of all target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum of diameters.

    every 8 weeks (i.e. every 2 cycles; cycle = 28 days), starting from the first day of treatment with LDK378 until permanent discontinuation of study drug up to 5 years

Secondary Outcomes (10)

  • ORR by Blinded Independent Review Committee (BIRC)

    every 8 weeks (i.e. every 2 cycles; cycle = 28 days), starting from the first day of treatment with LDK378 until permanent discontinuation of study drug up to 5 years

  • Duration of Response (DOR) as Per Investigator

    every 8 weeks (i.e. every 2 cycles; cycle = 28 days), starting from the first day of treatment with LDK378 until permanent discontinuation of study drug up to 5 years

  • Duration of Response (DOR) as Per BIRC

    every 8 weeks (i.e. every 2 cycles; cycle = 28 days), starting from the first day of treatment with LDK378 until permanent discontinuation of study drug up to 5 years

  • Disease Control Rate (DCR) as Per Investigator and BIRC

    every 8 weeks (i.e. every 2 cycles; cycle = 28 days), starting from the first day of treatment with LDK378 until permanent discontinuation of study drug up to 5 years

  • Time to Response (TTR) as Per Investigator

    every 8 weeks (i.e. every 2 cycles; cycle = 28 days), starting from the first day of treatment with LDK378 until permanent discontinuation of study drug

  • +5 more secondary outcomes

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of stage IIIB or IV NSCLC that carried an ALK rearrangement, as per the FDA-approved Vysis ALK break-apart FISH assay (Abbott Molecular Inc.)
  • Age 18 years or older at the time of informed consent.
  • Patients must have NSCLC that had progressed during or after the last chemotherapy regimen received prior to the first dose of LDK378, if chemotherapy was received
  • Patients must have been chemotherapy-naive or had received 1-3 lines of cytotoxic chemotherapy to treat their locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC
  • Patients must have had a tumor tissue sample available, collected either at the time of diagnosis of NSCLC or any time since.
  • Patients must have recovered from all toxicities related to prior anticancer therapies to grade ≤ 2, except for patients with grade 2 nausea/vomiting and/or grade 2 diarrhea despite optimal supportive therapy who were not allowed to participate in the study.

You may not qualify if:

  • Prior treatment with crizotinib, or any other ALK inhibitor investigational agent, for NSCLC
  • Patients with known hypersensitivity to any of the excipients of LDK378.
  • Patients with symptomatic central nervous system (CNS) metastases who were neurologically unstable or had required increasing doses of steroids within the 2 weeks prior to study entry to manage CNS symptoms.
  • History of carcinomatous meningitis.
  • Presence or history of a malignant disease other than NSCLC that has been diagnosed and/or required therapy within the past 3 years.
  • Clinically significant, uncontrolled heart disease.
