NCT06339554

Brief Summary

The experimental Cohort A (male ALK+ ANSCLC patients receiving alectinib), the control Cohort B (female ALK+ ANSCLC patients receiving alectinib) and control Cohort C (male NON-ALK ANSCLC patients) were prospectively evaluated for full hormone assessment of androgen deficiency, AT 8 weeks after treatment start and in case of reported suspected symptoms. Patients with major sexual dysfunctions were referred to endocrinologist.

Study Population

TOSS-ALK is single-Institution observational prospective sex-based trial aimed to assess endocrine toxicity in ALK+ advanced/metastatic ANSCLC male patients treated with first-line alectinib (Cohort A). As control cohorts, we included female ALK+ ANSCLC patients (Cohort B) and male patients with NON-ALK+ NSCLC who are receiving active treatment (ACT) according to tumour molecular profiling (Cohort C).

You may qualify if:

  • Histologically or cytologically confirmed advanced NSCLC (ANSCLC) For ALK+ NSCLC (Cohorts A-B) 1a. ALK-rearrangement confirmed by NGS and/or VENTANA ALK (D5F3) immunoistochemical assay 1b. Treatment naïve patients candidate to treatment with alectinib oral at standard dose of 600 mg twice daily
  • Patient aged 18 to 70 years
  • To be sexually active at time of enrolment
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 to 1
  • Written informed consent

You may not qualify if:

  • History of endocrine disorders, excepting for controlled hypothyroidism (surgical or non-surgical) treated with replacement levothyroxine since at least 2 years
  • Any cancer-related or medical condition that would interfere with the patient reported outcomes or laboratory assessment. Examples include, but are not limited to:
  • a. Cancer-related conditions that may preclude/undermine sexual activity (e.g. leptomeningeal carcinomatosis, pathological vertebral fractures, gonadic metastases, unstable spinal cord compression, uncontrolled neurological symptoms, surgical complications)
  • b. History of chronic liver disease or hormonal replacement therapy (e.g. ADT for prostatic cancer)
  • c. Participants who not adequately recovered from previous confirmed chemotherapy-induced gonadotoxicity (e.g. cisplatin)
  • d. Chronic use of drugs with known effect on male sexuality, including opiates, anxiolytics, antidepressants, mood stabilizers, beta blockers (e.g. atenolol) and high dose diuretics
  • e. Psychiatric or substance abuse disorder that would interfere with the participant's ability to cooperate with the requirements of the study
  • f. Major psychological disorder and/or high distress level that would interfere with sexual function and the participant's ability to cooperate with the requirements of the study
