NCT02737501

Brief Summary

The purpose of the study is to compare the efficacy of brigatinib to that of crizotinib in ALK+ locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) participants naive to ALK inhibitors, as evidenced by progression-free survival (PFS).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Progression-free Survival (PFS)

    PFS as assessed by Blinded Independent Review Committee (BIRC), per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1, was defined as the time interval from the date of randomization until the date of the first documented PD event. The data was censored for participants without a PFS event.

    Up to end of study (Up to 56 months)

Secondary Outcomes (9)

  • Confirmed Objective Response Rate (ORR)

    Baseline up to end of treatment (Up to 36 months)

  • Confirmed Intracranial ORR (iORR)

    Baseline up to end of treatment (Up to 36 months)

  • Intracranial Progression Free Survival

    Baseline up to end of study (Up to 56 months)

  • Overall Survival (OS)

    Baseline up to end of study (Up to 56 months)

  • Duration of Response (DOR)

    Baseline up to end of study (Up to 56 months)

  • +4 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (3)

Randomized Phase: Brigatinib 90 mg QD/180 QD

EXPERIMENTAL

Brigatinib 90 mg, tablets, orally, QD for first 7 days followed by 180 mg, orally, QD, in each 28-day cycle until PD, intolerable toxicity, consent withdrawal, or death (The median duration of exposure was 34.86 months).

Drug: Brigatinib

Randomized Phase: Crizotinib 250 mg BID

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Crizotinib 250 mg, tablets, BID in each 28-day cycle until disease progression, intolerable toxicity, consent withdrawal, or death (The median duration of exposure was 9.26 months).

Drug: Crizotinib

Crossover Phase: Brigatinib 90 mg QD/180 mg QD

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants who experienced PD as assessed by the BIRC or received radiotherapy to the brain while on 'Crizotinib 250 mg BID' therapy in Randomized Phase were crossed over. Following 10-day washout period, crossover participants received brigatinib 90 mg, tablets, orally, QD for first 7 days followed by 180 mg, tablets, orally, QD in each 28-day cycle up to end of the study (The median duration of exposure was 17.25 months).

Drug: Brigatinib

  • Have symptomatic CNS metastases (parenchymal or leptomeningeal) at screening or asymptomatic disease requiring an increasing dose of corticosteroids to control symptoms within 7 days prior to randomization.
  • Have current spinal cord compression (symptomatic or asymptomatic and detected by radiographic imaging). Participants with leptomeningeal disease and without cord compression are allowed.
  • Be pregnant, planning a pregnancy, or breastfeeding.
  • Have significant, uncontrolled, or active cardiovascular disease, as defined by the study protocol.
