      Trial Summary

      This randomized active-controlled multicenter Phase III open-label study will evaluate and compare between treatment groups the efficacy of alectinib versus chemotherapy in participants with ALK-positive advanced NSCLC who were previously treated with chemotherapy and crizotinib, as measured by investigator-assessed progression-free survival (PFS) and to evaluate and compare between treatment groups the central nervous system (CNS) objective response rate (C-ORR) in participants with measurable CNS metastases at baseline, as assessed by an Independent Review Committee (IRC).

      Eligibility criteria

      All Gender
      ≥18 Years Age
      No Healthy Volunteers
      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. ALK positivity must have been determined by a validated fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) test (recommended probe, Vysis ALK Break-Apart Probe) or a validated immunohistochemistry (IHC) test (recommended antibody, clone D5F3)
      • Participant had received two prior systemic lines of therapy, which must have included one line of platinum-based chemotherapy and one line of crizotinib
      • Prior CNS or leptomeningeal metastases allowed if asymptomatic
      • Participants with symptomatic CNS metastases for whom radiotherapy is not an option will be allowed to participate in this study
      • Measurable disease by RECIST Version 1.1 prior to the administration of study treatment
      • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0-2
      • For all females of childbearing potential, a negative pregnancy test must be obtained within 3 days before starting study treatment
      Exclusion Criteria
      • Participants with a previous malignancy within the past 3 years are excluded (other than curatively treated basal cell carcinoma of the skin, early gastrointestinal [GI] cancer by endoscopic resection or in situ carcinoma of the cervix)
      • Participants who have received any previous ALK inhibitor other than crizotinib
      • Any GI disorder that may affect absorption of oral medications
