About this study
Official title: A Multi-center, Randomized Open Label Study to Assess the Systemic Exposure, Effiacy, and Safety of 450 mg Ceritinib Taken With a Low-fat Meal and 600 mg Ceritinib Taken With a Low-fat Meal as Compared With That of 750 mg Ceritinib Taken in the Fasted State in Adult Patients With ALK Rearranged (ALK-positive) Metastatic Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)
A Phase I study to assess the systemic exposure, effiacy, and safety of 450 mg ceritinib taken with a low-fat meal and 600 mg ceritinib taken with a low-fat meal as compared with that of 750 mg ceritinib taken in the fasted state in adult patients with ALK rearranged (ALK-positive) metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)
Read the detailed description
This was an open-label, randomized, multi-center, parallel design, Phase I study in which the systemic exposure, efficacy and safety of ceritinib administered at 450 mg or 600 mg with a low-fat meal vs 750 mg in the fasted state was assessed in subjects with ALK+ NSCLC following multiple oral daily dosing of ceritinib. Subjects were randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to once daily doses of oral ceritinib (450 mg following a low-fat meal, 600 mg following a low-fat meal or ceritinib 750 mg administered on an empty stomach). Randomization was stratified by brain metastases at Screening (presence or absence) and by prior treatment (prior crizotinib use with ALK+ determined by Fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH); crizotinib-naïve but could be previously treated with other systemic anti-cancer therapy with ALK+ determined by FISH, or treatment-naïve subjects with ALK+ by IHC).

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1 study testing ceritinib in people with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Novartis Pharmaceuticals at 73 sites in 24 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 4 inclusion and 7 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Feb 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 73 sites in Italy, United States, Brazil, India, Spain and 19 more countries. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
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?
Plasma concentration of ceritinib (time frame: Study Day 22). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
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 9 Feb 2022; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
