Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This is Proof-of-Concept (POC) study to assess the preliminary antitumor activity and safety and tolerablity using ceritinib (LDK378) in the treatment of life threatening tumors that are characterized by ALK genetic alteration (and/or overexpression in some diseases).

Study Design

Study Type:
Interventional
Actual Enrollment :
22 participants
Allocation:
Non-Randomized
Intervention Model:
Parallel Assignment
Intervention Model Description:
Depending on the tumor type, subjects were to be enrolled into one of the following parallel arms: ALCL (anaplastic large cell lymphoma); IMT (inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor); glioblastoma (GBM), and any other ALK+ tumor. If there were 5 or more subjects of the same tumor type in the "Any other ALK+ tumor" arm, then a separate arm was to be opened for that specific tumor type.Depending on the tumor type, subjects were to be enrolled into one of the following parallel arms: ALCL (anaplastic large cell lymphoma); IMT (inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor); glioblastoma (GBM), and any other ALK+ tumor.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT)

Patients diagnosed with IMT with a confirmed translocation involving the ALK gene

Drug: Ceritinib (LDK378)
Ceritinib was to be administered orally once daily at a dose of 750 mg (5 capsules of 150 mg) on a continuous dosing schedule. A complete treatment cycle was defined as 28 days of once daily continuous treatment with ceritinib.

Experimental: Anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL)

Patients with a diagnosis of ALCL histologically or cytologically confirmed to be ALK-positive

Drug: Ceritinib (LDK378)
Ceritinib was to be administered orally once daily at a dose of 750 mg (5 capsules of 150 mg) on a continuous dosing schedule. A complete treatment cycle was defined as 28 days of once daily continuous treatment with ceritinib.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Disease Control Rate (DCR) Based on Investigator Assessments for Participants With at Least 16 Weeks of Treatment [Baseline up to approximately 16 weeks]

    The DCR is defined as the percentage of patients with complete response (CR), partial response (PR) or stable disease (SD) at 16 weeks from the start of ceritinib treatment. The assessment criteria are: Solid Tumors (RECIST 1.1., Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors); GBM (RECIST 1.1 and RANO, Response Evaluation in Neuro-Oncology); Hematologic tumors (Cheson).

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Overall Response Rate (ORR) Per Investigator Assessment [Baseline, every 8 weeks until disease progression or end of treatment, whichever came first assessed up to approximately 84 weeks]

    ORR is defined as the percentage of patients with best overall response of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) based on local assessment according to RECIST 1.1, RANO or Cheson hematological criteria.

  2. Duration of Response (DOR) Per Investigator Assessment [Baseline, every 8 weeks until disease progression or end of treatment, whichever came first, assessed up to approximately 84 weeks]

    DOR is defined as the time from date of first documented CR or PR to date of first documented disease progression or death due to any cause

  3. Time to Response (TTR) Per Investigator Assessment [Baseline, every 8 weeks until disease progression or end of treatment, whichever came first, assessed up to approximately 84 weeks]

    TTR is defined as the time from date of the first dose to date of first documented response (CR or PR)

  4. Progression Free Survival (PFS) Per Investigator Assessments [Baseline, every 8 weeks until disease progression or death from any cause, assessed for up to approximately 84 weeks]

    PFS is defined as the time from the date of first dose of ceritinib to the date of first documented disease progression or death from any cause

  5. Percent of Participant Deaths During Treatment and Follow-up [Baseline up to approximately 84 weeks]

    Deaths due to any cause during treatment and 30 day follow-up
