E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
•Histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of advanced or recurrent (Stage IIIB not amenable for multimodality treatment) or metastatic (Stage IV) NSCLC that is ALK-positive as assessed by the Ventana IHC test. Sufficient tumor tissue to perform ALK IHC and ALK FISH is required. Both tests will be performed at designated central laboratories.
•Measurable disease (by RECIST v1.1) prior to the administration of study treatment.
•Patients had no prior systemic treatment for advanced or recurrent (Stage IIIB not amenable for multimodality treatment) or metastatic (Stage IV) NSCLC.
•ECOG PS of 0-2.
•Adequate hematologic, renal and liver function.
•Able and willing to provide written informed consent prior to performing any study related procedures and to comply with the study protocol.
|
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
•Any GI disorder that may affect absorption of oral medications, such as mal absorption syndrome or status post-major bowel resection.
•Administration of strong/potent cytochrome P4503A inhibitors or inducers within 14 days prior to the first dose of study treatment and while on treatment with alectinib or crizotinib except for oral corticosteroids up to 20 mg of prednisolone equivalent per day.
•Administration of agents with potential QT interval prolonging effects within 14 days prior to the first administration of study drug and while on treatment.
•History of hypersensitivity to any of the additives in the alectinib drug formulation (lactose monohydrate, microcrystalline cellulose, sodium starch glycolate, hydroxypropyl cellulose, sodium lauryl sulfate [SLS], magnesium stearate).
•History of hypersensitivity to any of the additives in the crizotinib drug formulation (silica, colloidal anhydrous cellulose, microcrystalline calcium hydrogen phosphate, anhydrous sodium starch glycolate, magnesium stearate).
•Any clinically significant concomitant disease or condition that could interfere with, or for which the treatment might interfere with, the conduct of the study or the absorption of oral medications or that would, in the opinion of the Principal Investigator, pose an unacceptable risk to the patient in this study.
