Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of X-396 (ensartinib) vs. crizotinib in patients with ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer that have received up to 1 prior chemotherapy regimen and no prior ALK inhibitor.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
Phase 3

Detailed Description

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of X-396 (ensartinib) vs. crizotinib in patients with ALK-positive NSCLC that have received up to 1 prior chemotherapy regimen and no prior ALK tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), to obtain additional pharmacokinetic (PK) data from sparse PK sampling, to compare the quality of life (QoL) in patients receiving X-396 vs. crizotinib, to evaluate the status of exploratory biomarkers and correlate with clinical outcome, and to obtain germline DNA samples for possible pharmacogenetic analysis in the event that outliers with respect to efficacy, tolerability/safety, or exposure are identified.

    Inclusion Criteria

    1. Histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of advanced or recurrent (Stage IIIB not amenable for multimodality treatment) or metastatic (Stage IV) NSCLC that is ALK-positive by an FDA-approved assay performed centrally. Patients must be ALK positive by local test prior to submitting tissue to the central lab. Randomization will occur after ALK positive confirmation is received from the central lab. Patients may have received up to 1 prior chemotherapy regimen for metastatic disease, which may also include maintenance therapy. Note that patients that have received adjuvant or neoadjuvant chemotherapy and developed metastatic disease within 6 months from the end of that therapy would be considered to have received 1 prior regimen for metastatic disease.

    2. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status (PS) score of 0 to 2. (see Appendix A)

    3. Life expectancy of at least 12 weeks.

    4. Ability to swallow and retain oral medication.

    5. Adequate organ system function, defined as follows:

    6. Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥1.5 x 109/L

    7. Platelets ≥100 x 109/L

    8. Hemoglobin ≥9 g/dL (≥90 g/L) Note that transfusions are allowed to meet the required hemoglobin level

    9. Total bilirubin ≤1.5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN)

    10. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤2.5 x ULN if no liver involvement or ≤5 x ULN with liver involvement.

    11. Creatinine < 1.5 x ULN. If >1.5 x ULN, patient may still be eligible if calculated creatinine clearance >50 mL/min (0.83mL/s) as calculated by the Cockcroft-Gault method.

    12. Brain metastases allowed if asymptomatic at study baseline. Patients with untreated brain metastases must not be on corticosteroids. If patients have neurological symptoms or signs due to CNS metastases, patients need to complete whole brain radiation or focal treatment at least 14 days before start of study treatment and be asymptomatic on stable or decreasing doses of corticosteroids at baseline.

    13. Men with partners of childbearing potential willing to use adequate contraceptive measures during the study and for 90 days after the last dose of study medication.

    14. Women who are not of child-bearing potential, and women of child-bearing potential who agree to use adequate contraceptive measures during the study and for 90 days after the last dose of study medication, and who have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test within 1 week prior to initial trial treatment.

    15. Patients must be >18 years-of-age.
