Arms and Interventions
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Ceritinib
Patients in this arm received 750 mg of ceritinib.
 Drug: Ceritinib
Ceritinib is the investigational treatment and is referred to as the investigational study drug and was provided as 150 mg hard gelatin capsules for oral use. The dose was 750 mg once daily.
Active Comparator: Chemotherapy
Patients in this arm received chemotherapy of either pemetrexed or docetaxel as determined by BIRC.
 Drug: pemetrexed
Pemetrexed was one of the chemotherapy treatments. Pemetrexed, a reconstituted solution, was intravenously administered over 10 minutes at 500 mg/m2 every 21 days.

Drug: docetaxel
Docetaxel was one of the chemotherapy treatments. Docetaxel, a reconstituted solution, was intravenously administered over 1 hour, at 75 mg/m2 every 21 days.


Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Progression Free Survival (PFS) Blinded Independent Review Committee Per Blinded Independent Review Committee (BIRC) [ Time Frame: 'from the date of randomization to the date of first radiologically documented disease progression or death due to any cause up to approximately 24 months ]
    PFS is defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of the first radiologically documented disease progression or death due to any cause.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Overall Survival (OS) [ Time Frame: Month 18 ]
    OS is defined as time from date of randomization to date of death due to any cause.

  2. Overall Response Rate (ORR) [ Time Frame: Month 18 ]
    ORR is defined as the proportion of patients with a best overall response defined as complete response (CR) or partial response (PR); (CR+PR)

  3. Duration of Response (DOR) [ Time Frame: Month 18 ]
    DOR is defined as the time from date of first documented CR or PR to date of first documented disease progression or death due to underlying cancer

  4. Disease Control Rate (DCR) [ Time Frame: Month 18 ]
    DCR is defined as the proportion of patients with best overall response of CR, PR, or stable disease (SD)

  5. Time to Response (TTR) [ Time Frame: Month 18 ]
    TTR is defined as the time from date of randomization to date of first documented response (CR or PR)

  6. Patient Reported Outcomes (PRO) [ Time Frame: Screening, followed by every 6 weeks until Month 18 after Month 18 every 9 weeks ]
  7. Time to Definitive Deterioration [ Time Frame: from the date of randomization to the date of event for disease related symptoms ]
  8. Overall Intracranial Response Rate (OIRR) [ Time Frame: Screening, followed by every 6 weeks until Month 18 after Month 18 every 9 weeks ]
    OIRR is defined as the ORR based on lesions in brain (target, nontarget lesions (and new lesions, if applicable) and calculated as the proportion of patients with a best overall confirmed response of CR or PR in the brain per modified RECIST 1.1* as assessed by BIRC neuroradiologist.

  9. Intracranial Disease Control Rate (IDCR) [ Time Frame: Screening, followed by every 6 weeks until Month 18 after Month 18 every 9 weeks ]
    IDCR is defined as the DCR based on lesions in brain (target, non-target lesions (and new lesions, if applicable) and calculated as the proportion of patients with a best overall response of CR or PR or SD (or non-CR/nonPD) in the brain per modified RECIST 1.1* as assessed by BIRC neuro-radiologist.

  10. Duration of Intracranial Response (DOIR) [ Time Frame: Screening, followed by every 6 weeks until Month 18 after Month 18 every 9 weeks ]
    DOIR is defined as the DOR based on lesions in brain (target, non-target lesions (and new lesions, if applicable) and calculated from the time of first documented response of CR or PR to the date of the first documented disease progression in the brain or death due to any cause per modified RECIST 1.1* as assessed by BIRC neuro-radiologist.

Ages Eligible for Study:   18 Years and older   (Adult, Older Adult)
Sexes Eligible for Study:   All
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:   No
Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Patient has a histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that is anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) positive as assessed by the FDA approved Abbott FISH Test.
  2. Patient has stage IIIB or IV diagnosis and must have received one or two prior regimens (including platinum- doublet) of cytotoxic chemotherapy for the treatment of locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC.
  3. Patient has at least one measurable lesion as defined by RECIST 1.1. A previously irradiated site lesion may only be counted as a target lesion if there is clear sign of progression since the irradiation
  4. Patients must have received previous treatment with crizotinib for the treatment of locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Patient with known hypersensitivity to any of the excipients of LDK378 (microcrystalline cellulose, mannitol, crospovidone, colloidal silicon dioxide and magnesium stearate)
  2. Patient with a history of severe hypersensitivity reaction to pemetrexed or docetaxel or any known excipients of these drugs.
  3. Patient with symptomatic central nervous system (CNS) metastases who is neurologically unstable or has required increasing doses of steroids within the 2 weeks prior to screening to manage CNS symptoms.
