About this trial

The ADAPT ALEC randomized controlled trial (RCT) is performed in patients with Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase (ALK) positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The RCT will compare the use of Therapeutic Drug Monitoring (TDM) and dose increases if alectinib 35 ng/Ml (arm A) with standard of care (arm B).

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC (stage IIIB to stage IV by AJCC 8th)

ECOG performance status 0-4

Histologically or cytology confirmed NSCLC

Documented ALK rearrangement based on an EMA approved test

Disqualifiers

Any significant concomitant disease determined by the investigator to be potentially aggravated by the investigational drug

Consumption of agents which modulate CYP3A4 or agents with potential QT prolonging effects within 14 days prior to admission and during the study (see concomitant medication restrictions)

Any clinically significant concomitant disease or condition that could interfere with, or for which the treatment might interfere with, the conduct of the study, or absorption of oral medications, or that would, in the opinion of the Principal Investigator, pose an unacceptable risk to the subject in this study.

Any psychological, familial, sociological or geographical condition potentially hampering compliance with the study protocol requirements and/or follow-up procedures; those conditions should be discussed with the patient before trial entry.

Trial design

Design model

Parallel

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Alectinib

    Drug

    In case of an alectinib plasmaconcentration Cmin \<435 ng/mL, determined by TDM, and manageable toxicity, the alectinib dose will be increased with 150mg BID up to a maximum of 900mg BID. In case of unacceptable toxicity (i.e. unbearable or persistent grade 2 toxicity and grade 3/4 toxicity), the alectinib dose can be reduced by 150mg BID.

Treatment groups

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Median progression free survival (mPFS)

PFS is measured from start of treatment to progressive disease, death or lost to follow-up.Patients who did not die or progress, or lost to follow-up, will be censored at their last available date.

Time frame
mPFS will be assessed through study completion, after 12 months of follow-up.

Secondary outcomes

1

Succesfull Therapeutic Drug monitoring

The percentage of succesfull TDM interventions, in which successful is defines as tartget attainment and manageable toxicity.

Time frame
4 to 6 weeks after dose adjustment based on TDM
2

Overall response rate (ORR)

ORR is the percentage of patients with partial response or complete response, according to RECIST v1.1, of the total treated population.

Time frame
Response will be assessed every 2-3 months. ORR will be determined after total study completion and 12 months of follow-up
3

Median overall survival

mOS is defined as time from randomization to death from any cause in the total population.

Time frame
Through total study completion, after 12 months of follow-up
4

Intracranial PFS

PFS is measured from start of treatment to progressive disease in the brain, death or lost to follow-up. Patients who did not die or progress, or lost to follow-up, will be censored at their last available date.

Time frame
Progressive disease will be assessed once every 2-3 months. Intracranial PFS will be assessed through total study completion, after 12 months of follow-up
