About this study

Official title: Brigatinib in Patients With Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase-Positive (ALK+), Advanced Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) Progressed on Alectinib or Ceritinib

The primary purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of brigatinib by confirmed objective response rate (ORR) by response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors [RECIST]), in participants with ALK+ locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC whose disease has progressed on therapy with alectinib or ceritinib.

Read the detailed description

The drug being tested in this study is called brigatinib (AP26113). Brigatinib is being tested to treat people who have anaplastic lymphoma kinase-positive (ALK+), advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

The study will enroll approximately 103 patients. Participants will be assigned to the treatment group:

  • Brigatinib

All participants will be asked to take brigatinib 90 mg tablet in lead-in period for 7 days, followed by brigatinib 180 mg at the same time each day throughout the study. Participants with progressive disease had an option to receive an escalated dose of brigatinib 240 mg as per investigator's discretion in case no toxicities (greater than grade 2) are experienced.

This multicenter trial will be conducted worldwide. The overall time to participate in this study is approximately 3 years. Participants will make multiple visits to the clinic, and 30 days after last dose of study drug for a follow-up assessment.

What is being measured

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

  1. Confirmed Objective Response Rate (ORR) Using RECIST v1.1 as Assessed by the Independent Review Committee (IRC)

    Confirmed ORR is defined as the percentage of the participants who are confirmed to have achieved complete response (CR) or partial response (PR), per RECIST version 1.1 (confirmed ≥4 weeks after initial response), after the initiation of study treatment. CR: disappearance of all extranodal target lesions and all pathological lymph nodes must have decreased to <10 mm in short axis and PR: at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameters (SLD) of target lesions taking as reference the Baseline sum diameters. Percentages were rounded off to the nearest single decimal place.

    Measured: Up to approximately 20 months from the start of enrollment till data cut-off 30 September 2020

Secondary outcomes (12)
  1. Confirmed ORR Using RECIST v1.1 as Assessed by the Investigator

    Confirmed ORR is defined as the percentage of the participants who are confirmed to have achieved CR or PR, per RECIST version 1.1 (confirmed ≥4 weeks after initial response), after the initiation of study treatment. CR: disappearance of all extranodal target lesions and all pathological lymph nodes must have decreased to <10 mm in short axis and PR: at least a 30% decrease in the SLD of target lesions taking as reference the baseline sum diameters. Percentages were rounded off to the nearest single decimal place.

    Measured: Up to approximately 28 months

  2. Duration of Response (DOR) as Assessed by the IRC and the Investigator

    DOR is defined as the time interval from the time that the measurement criteria are first met for CR or PR until the first date that the progressive disease (PD) is objectively documented, or death. CR: disappearance of all extranodal target lesions and all pathological lymph nodes must have decreased to <10 mm in short axis. PR: at least a 30% decrease in the SLD of target lesions taking as reference the Baseline sum diameters. PD: SLD increased by at least 20% from the smallest value on study (including Baseline, if that is the smallest). SLD must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm (2 lesions increasing from, for example, 2 mm to 3 mm, does not qualify).

    Measured: Up to approximately 28 months

  3. Progression-Free Survival (PFS) as Assessed by the IRC and the Investigator

    PFS is defined as the time interval from the date of the first dose of the study treatment until the first date at which disease progression is objectively documented, or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first. PFS was censored for participants without documented disease progression or death.

    Measured: Up to approximately 28 Months

  4. Disease Control Rate (DCR) as Assessed by the IRC and the Investigator

    DCR is defined as the percentage of participants who have achieved CR, PR or stable disease (SD) (in the case of SD, measurements must have met the SD criteria at least once after study entry at a minimum interval of 6 weeks) after the initiation of study treatment. CR: disappearance of all extranodal target lesions and all pathological lymph nodes must have decreased to <10 mm in short axis. PR: at least a 30% decrease in the SLD of target lesions taking as reference the baseline sum diameters. SD: Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD. Percentages were rounded off to the nearest single decimal place.

    Measured: Up to approximately 28 months

  5. Time to Response as Assessed by the IRC and the Investigator

    Time to response is defined as the time interval from the date of the first dose of the study treatment until the initial observation of CR or PR. CR: disappearance of all extranodal target lesions and all pathological lymph nodes must have decreased to <10 mm in short axis. PR: at least a 30% decrease in the SLD of target lesions taking as reference the baseline sum diameters.

    Measured: Up to approximately 28 months

  6. Confirmed Intracranial Objective Response Rate (iORR) in Participants With Brain Metastases at Baseline, as Assessed by the IRC

    Confirmed iORR is defined as the percentage of the participants who have achieved CR or PR in the brain per a modification of RECIST version 1.1, after the initiation of study treatment, in participants with intracranial brain metastases at baseline. CR: disappearance of all extranodal target lesions and all pathological lymph nodes must have decreased to <10 mm in short axis. or partial response or PR: at least a 30% decrease in the SLD of target lesions taking as reference the baseline sum diameters. Percentages were rounded off to the nearest single decimal place.

    Measured: Up to approximately 28 months

  7. Duration of Intracranial Response in Participants With Brain Metastases at Baseline, as Assessed by the IRC

    Duration of intracranial response is defined as the time interval from the time that the measurement criteria are first met for CR or PR until the first date that PD (including baseline, if that is the smallest). SLD must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. (2 lesions increasing from, for example, 2 mm to 3 mm, does not qualify) in the brain is objectively documented or death, in participants with intracranial metastases at baseline. CR: disappearance of all extranodal target lesions and all pathological lymph nodes must have decreased to <10 mm in short axis. or partial response or PR: at least a 30% decrease in the SLD of target lesions taking as reference the baseline sum diameters in the brain. PD: SLD increased by at least 20% from the smallest value on study.

    Measured: Up to approximately 28 months

  8. Intracranial Progression-Free Survival (iPFS) in Participants With Brain Metastases at Baseline, as Assessed by the IRC

    iPFS is defined as the time interval from the date of the first dose of the study treatment until the first date at which intracranial brain disease progression is objectively documented, or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first, in participants with intracranial metastases at enrollment. iPFS will be censored for participants without documented intracranial disease progression or death.

    Measured: Up to approximately 28 months

  9. Overall Survival (OS)

    OS is defined as the time interval from the date of the first dose of the study treatment until death due to any cause. It was censored on the date of last contact for those participants who were alive.

    Measured: Up to approximately 28 months

  10. Number of Participants With One or More Treatment-emergent Adverse Event (TEAE)

    An adverse event (AE) means any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product; the untoward medical occurrence does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) product whether or not it is related to the medicinal product. This includes any newly occurring event, or a previous condition that has increased in severity or frequency since the administration of study drug. TEAE: any AE either reported for the first time or worsening of a pre-existing event after first dose of study drug and within 30 days of the last administration of study drug.

    Measured: First dose of study drug up to 30 days after last dose (approximately 5 years)

  11. Number of Participants With Improvement in Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQOL) Based on European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30) Score

    EORTC QLQ-C30 incorporates 5 functional scales (physical functioning, role functioning, emotional functioning, cognitive functioning, and social functioning), 1 global health status scale, 3 symptom scales (fatigue, nausea and vomiting, and pain), and 6 single items (dyspnea, insomnia, appetite loss, constipation, diarrhea, and financial difficulties). EORTC QLQ-C30 contains 28 questions (4-point scale where 1=Not at all [best] to 4=Very Much [worst]) and 2 questions (7-point scale where 1=Very poor [worst] to 7= Excellent [best]). Raw scores are converted into scale scores ranging from 0 to 100. For the functional scales and the global health status scale, higher scores represent better quality of life (QOL); for the symptom scales, lower scores represent better QOL. Improvement is defined as a change from baseline of 10 or more points higher for functional scales and 10 or more points lower for symptom scales.

    Measured: Up to approximately 28 months

  12. Number of Participants With Improvement of HRQOL Based on EORTC QLQ- Lung Cancer (LC) 13

    HRQOL scores will be assessed with EORTC, its lung cancer module QLQ-LC13. QLQ-LC13 contains 13 questions assessing lung cancer-associated symptoms (cough, hemoptysis, dyspnea, and site-specific pain), treatment-related side effects (sore mouth, dysphagia, peripheral neuropathy, and alopecia), and use of pain medication. Scale score range: 0 to 100. Higher symptom score = greater degree of symptom severity. Improvement is defined as a change from baseline of 10 or more points lower for symptom scales.

    Measured: Up to approximately 28 months
