About this study

Official title: A Randomized Phase III Trial for Surgically Resected Early Stage Non-small Cell Lung Cancer: Crizotinib Versus Observation for Patients With Tumors Harboring the Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase (ALK) Fusion Protein

This randomized phase III trial studies how well crizotinib works in treating patients with stage IB-IIIA non-small cell lung cancer that has been removed by surgery and has a mutation in a protein called anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK). Mutations, or changes, in ALK can make it very active and important for tumor cell growth and progression. Crizotinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking the ALK protein from working. Crizotinib may be an effective treatment for patients with non-small cell lung cancer and an ALK fusion mutation.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To evaluate whether adjuvant therapy with crizotinib will result in improved overall survival (OS) for patients with stage IB >= 4 cm, II and IIIA, ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) following surgical resection.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To evaluate and compare disease-free survival (DFS) associated with crizotinib.

II. To evaluate the safety profile of crizotinib when given in the adjuvant therapy setting.

III. To collect tumor tissue and blood specimens for future research.

OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.

ARM A: Patients receive crizotinib orally (PO) twice daily (BID) on days 1-21. Treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 2 years in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

ARM B: Patients undergo observation.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 6 months if < 4 or 5 years from study entry, and every 12 months if 5-10 or 6-10 years from study entry.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Overall survival (OS)

    Distribution will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method, and Cox proportional hazards models will be used to estimate the treatment hazard ratios. The primary comparison will use a logrank test stratified on the randomization stratification factors with a one-sided type I error rate of 5%. Other comparisons of groups will be made using the logrank test and Cox modeling. Estimate will be accompanied by the corresponding 90% confidence intervals.

    Measured: The time from randomization to death from any cause, assessed up to 10 years

Secondary outcomes (2)

  1. Disease free survival (DFS)

    Distribution will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method, and Cox proportional hazards models will be used to estimate the treatment hazard ratios. Estimate will be accompanied by the corresponding 90% confidence intervals.

    Measured: The time from randomization to the earliest event defined as: disease recurrence confirmed by biopsy, any new lung cancer (even in the opposite lung) confirmed by biopsy, or death from any cause at any known point in time, assessed up to 10 years

  2. Toxicity rates, determined using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.0

    Toxicity rates will be compared using Fisher?s exact tests with a one-sided type I error rate of 5%; multivariable logistic regression modeling will be used to adjust for the effect of any covariates that are associated with these categorical outcomes.

    Measured: Up to 10 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Clinical Observation, Crizotinib and Laboratory Biomarker Analysis in people with ALK Gene Rearrangement and ALK Gene Translocation, run by ECOG-ACRIN Cancer Research Group at 1,618 sites in 3 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 33 inclusion and 0 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Dec 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1,618 sites in United States, Puerto Rico, Guam. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Overall survival (OS) (time frame: The time from randomization to death from any cause, assessed up to 10 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02201992, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 19 Dec 2025.
