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.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)
Incidence of endocrine toxicity in overall ALK-positive

Time from treatment start until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 3 years
Incidence of symptomatic hypogonadism in male ANSCLC patients
Percentage of endocrine alterations and/or clinical sexual dysfuctions among male patients included in Cohort A and C
Time from treatment start until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 3 years
Study Arms (3)
Cohort A
Male ALK-positive ANSCLC patients receiving first-line treatment with alectinib
Cohort B
Female ALK-positive ANSCLC patients receiving first-line treatment with alectinib
Cohort C
Male ALK-negative ANSCLC patients receiving first-line treatment according to molecular profiling
Interventions
First line treatment for cohorts A and B
Eligibility Criteria
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
