About this trial

The PACIFIC study established the standard of care for immunotherapy consolidation after chemoradiotherapy (CRT) in patients with unresectable stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, its benefit is limited in patients with driver gene mutations. The LAURA study established a new paradigm of targeted consolidation therapy after CRT for patients with EGFR mutations. Although retrospective data support the efficacy of ALK-TKIs, no randomized controlled trial (RCT) has clearly demonstrated the value of ALK-TKI maintenance therapy after CRT. This study adopts a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled design aimed at evaluating the efficacy and safety of ensartinib in patients with ALK-positive unresectable stage III NSCLC.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

progressive free survival

disease progression according to RSCIST v1.1 or intolerable toxicity according to CTCAE v5.0

Time frame
From enrollment to the end of treatment, up to 100 months

Secondary outcomes

1

Objective Response Rate

ORR is defined as the proportion of participants whose best overall response is complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) as assessed by the investigator according to RECIST 1.1

Time frame
From first dose of study drug until disease progression, assessed up to approximately 12 months
2

Disease Control Rate

DCR is defined as the proportion of participants achieving a best overall response of complete response (CR), partial response (PR), or stable disease (SD) as assessed by the investigator according to RECIST 1.1

Time frame
From first dose of study drug until disease progression, assessed up to approximately 12 months
3

Overall Survival (OS)

OS is defined as the time from randomization until death due to any cause.

Time frame
From randomization until death from any cause, up to 120 months
4

Central Nervous System Progression-Free Survival (CNS-PFS)

CNS-PFS is defined as the time from randomization to the first documented intracranial progression (as assessed by MRI ) or death from any cause, whichever occurs first.

Time frame
From randomization until CNS progression or death, up to 100 months

Other outcomes

1

Exploratory Analysis of Biomarkers and Efficacy

To explore the correlation between potential biomarkers and efficacy outcomes (PFS/ORR/DCR/OS/CNS-PFS) through analysis of blood samples

Time frame
Blood samples will be collected at the following time points: before chemoradiotherapy, within 6 weeks after chemoradiotherapy, at 6 months of medication, and through study completion, an average of 5 year
