About this trial

Multicenter, randomized, controlled, open-label, Phase 3 study designed to demonstrate that neladalkib (NVL-655) is superior to alectinib in prolonging progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with treatment-naïve, Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase (ALK) positive, advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC).

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Histologically or cytologically confirmed locally advanced (not amenable for multimodality treatment) or metastatic Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)

Documented Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase (ALK) rearrangement via testing of tissue or blood

No prior systemic anticancer treatment for NSCLC (adjuvant/neoadjuvant chemotherapy allowed if 12 months prior to randomization; prior ALK tyrosine kinase inhibitor [TKI] such as alectinib is not allowed in any setting)

Measurable disease (1 or more target lesions per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors [RECIST] 1.1)

Disqualifiers

Patient's cancer has a known oncogenic driver alteration other than ALK.

Known allergy/hypersensitivity to excipients of neladalkib or alectinib.

Ongoing or recent radiotherapy as per protocol-specified timeframes prior to randomization

Major surgery within 4 weeks prior to randomization

Time frame
Up to 5 years after first patient dosed

Secondary outcomes

1

Overall survival (OS)

Time from randomization to death

Time frame
Up to 5 years after first patient dosed
2

Progression-free survival (PFS) per investigator assessment
