Lorlatinib After Failure of First-line Second-generation ALK Kinase Inhibitor in Patients With Advanced ALK-positive Non-small Cell Lung Cancer
France23 participantsStarted 2020-08-05
Plain-language summary
Crizotinib is a first-generation ALK tyrosine kinase inhibitor (ITK-ALK). It is the standard first-line treatment for patients with advanced NSCLC with ALK gene rearrangement. Alectinib, ceritinib and brigatinib are second-generation ITK-ALK. They have been shown to be effective in the first line of treatment in randomized trials. Alectinib has shown superiority to crizotinib as the first line of treatment in three randomized therapeutic trials, positioning this ITK-ALK as the treatment of choice in first-line treatment. Despite the effectiveness of these new treatments, all patients will virtually experience a relapse. There is no data on second-generation TKI-ALK resistance mechanisms when given as first-line treatment and the best therapeutic strategy for progression is undefined.

Inclusion criteria
. Signed Written Informed Consent:
. Patients with histologically or cytologically confirmed locally advanced not eligible to a local treatment or metastatic NSCLC (Stage IIIB or IV accordingly to 8th classification TNM, UICC 2015) that carries an ALK rearrangement, as determined by the molecular biology platform of the investigator by FISH assay or by Immunohistochemistry (IHC), or Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) or RNA sequencing approach .
. Disease Status Requirements: Disease progression meeting RECISTv1.1 after first-line alectinib or brigatinib only. No prior chemotherapy is allowed in the metastatic disease setting.
Exclusion criteria
. Tumor Sample Requirement: Tumour biopsy sampling on fresh tissue (FFPE blocks required) at time of progression on first-line TKI is mandatory. Tumour biopsy should be exploitable for molecular analysis. If the tumour biopsy is not exploitable, the inclusion will be allowed if two blood samples are provided for tumoral cfDNA analysis. The Sponsor will monitor a posteriori the exploitability of provided tumour biopsies and will investigate the impossibility to perform or repeat tissue tumor sampling.
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
What they're measuring
