Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Entrectinib
Participants will be enrolled to receive 600 mg entrectinib orally once daily until progressive disease, unacceptable toxicity, death, or withdrawal from the study, whichever occurs first.
|
Drug: Entrectinib
Entrectinib will be self-administered orally at a dose of 600 mg (three 200 mg capsules per day) once daily with or without food. |
Active Comparator: Crizotinib
Participants will be enrolled to receive 250 mg crizotinib orally twice daily until progressive disease, unacceptable toxicity, death, or withdrawal from the study, whichever occurs first.
|
Drug: Crizotinib
Crizotinib will be self-administered orally at a dose of 250 mg twice daily with or without food. |
- Progression-free survival (PFS) in participants with central nervous system (CNS) metastases at baseline [ Time Frame: Up to 7 years ]PFS is defined as the time from randomization to the first documented disease progression (extracranial or intracranial) or death from any cause whichever occurs first determined by a blinded independent review committee (BIRC) using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors, Version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1).
- Progression-free survival in the Central Nervous System (CNS-PFS) [ Time Frame: Up to 7 Years ]CNS-PFS is defined as the time from randomization to the first documented disease progression in the CNS or death from any cause, whichever occurs first, as determined by the BIRC using RECIST v1.1
- Overall response rate (ORR) [ Time Frame: Up to 7 Years ]ORR is defined as the percentage of participants who attain Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) as assessed by the BIRC and the investigator per RECIST v1.1
- Duration of response (DOR) [ Time Frame: Up to 7 Years ]DOR is defined as the time from when response (CR or PR) is first documented to disease progression or death, whichever occurs first, as assessed by the BIRC and the investigator per RECIST v1.1
- Progression-free survival (PFS) [ Time Frame: Up to 7 years ]PFS is defined as the time from randomization to the first documented disease progression (extracranial or intracranial) or death from any cause, whichever occurs first, as determined by the BICR and investigator using RECIST v1.1
- Overall survival (OS) [ Time Frame: Up to 7 Years ]OS is defined as the time from randomization to death from any cause
- Percentage of participants with confirmed deterioration as assessed by the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Quality of Life Questionnaire Core 30 (QLQ-C30) [ Time Frame: Up to 7 Years ]
- Percentage of participants with impact on lung cancer-specific symptoms assessed by the EORTC QLQ-LC13 [ Time Frame: Up to 7 Years ]
- Objective response rate in the CNS-ORR in participants with CNS metastases at baseline [ Time Frame: Up to 7 Years ]CNS-ORR is defined as the percentage of participants who attain CR or PR for lesions in the CNS, as determined by the BIRC per RECIST v1.1
- Duration of response in the CNS (CNS-DOR) in participants with CNS metastases at baseline [ Time Frame: Up to 7 Years ]CNS-DOR is defined as the time from when a CNS response (CR or PR) is first documented to disease progression in the CNS, as determined by the BIRC per RECIST v1.1
- Percentage of participants with Adverse Events and Serious Adverse Events and Adverse Events leading to dose modifications/interruptions, study drug withdrawal or death [ Time Frame: Up to 7 Years ]Assessed by the investigator according to the NCI CTCAE v5.0
- Change in the scores of EuroQol 5-Dimension Questionnaire, 5-level version (EQ-5D-5L) [ Time Frame: Up to 7 Years ]To evaluate health status utility scores of participants to inform pharmacoeconomic modeling using the EuroQol 5-Dimension Questionnaire (5-level version; EQ-5D-5L) index-based and visual analog scale (VAS) scores
