Plain-language summary
This is an open-label, non-randomised, phase II, exploratory, multi-country and multi-centre clinical trial. Chemotherapy-naïve patients with EML4-ALK rearrangement and with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer patients will be selected.
Patients enrolled in the study will receive brigatinib 90mg for the first 7 days (D 1-7 at cycle 1) and then 180mg daily thereafter for QW4 cycles of duration (28 days ±3days).
Brigatinib will be administered until progression disease, unacceptable toxicity, patient or physician decision to discontinue or death.
Brigatinib may continue beyond disease progression per RECIST v1.1 until loss of clinical benefit, unacceptable toxicity, patient or physician decision to discontinue, or death as per SmPC recommendations.
Patient accrual is expected to be completed within 1.5 years excluding a run-in-period of 4-6 months. Treatment and follow-up are expected to extend the study duration to a total of 5 years. Patients will be followed for 1 year after the end of treatment independently of the cause of end of treatment. The study will end once survival follow-up has concluded.
The trial will end with the preparation of the final report, scheduled for 5.5 years after the inclusion of the first patient approximately.

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
1
Overall response rate (ORR)
Timeframe: From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death, whichever came first, assessed up to 60 months
. Patients with a known sensitizing mutation in the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene.
. Patients with a known STK-1 Ligand alteration.
. Patients with a known MDM2 amplification.
. Patients with a known ROS1 translocations.
. Patients that received any prior TKI, including ALK-targeted TKIs or any systemic anticancer therapy for locally advanced or metastasic disease
. Patients that have received chemotherapy or radiation within 14 days of first dose of study drug, except stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) or stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT)
. Symptomatic CNS metastases (parenchymal or leptomeningeal) that are neurologically unstable or required an increasing dose of corticosteroids within 7 days prior to first dose of study drug
. Have current spinal cord compression (symptomatic or asymptomatic and detected by radiographic imaging). Patients with leptomeningeal disease and without cord compression is allowed.
