Study of Safety and Efficacy of Brigatinib Plus Chemotherapy or Brigatinib Only in Advanced ALK-Positive Lung Cancer (MASTERPROTOCOL ALK)

Plain-language summary
This is a phase II randomized, open-labelled, non-comparative multicenter study in which ALK+ NSCLC patients who are naïve of treatment for advanced disease will be randomized to receive brigatinib monotherapy (Arm A) or brigatinib and carboplatin-pemetrexed therapy (Arm B). An estimated 110 patients (55 in Arm A, 55 in Arm B) will be enrolled at approximately 30 centers. A safety phase will evaluate the safety of brigatinib with carboplatin and pemetrexed treatment combination (Arm B). The first twenty-six patients enrolled in Arm B will represent the population of the safety phase. Patients will be treated until they experience progressive disease, intolerable toxicity, or another discontinuation criterion is met. Continuation of brigatinib beyond progression is permitted, at the investigator's discretion, if there is evidence of continued clinical benefit. The null hypothesis is progression free survival at 12 months ≤ 69% for Arm B, which is considered not sufficiently clinically meaningful to warrant further study. The alternative hypothesis is that 86% or more of patients in Arm B would achieve progression free survival at 12 months.

Inclusion criteria
. Subjects must have signed and dated an IRB/IEC approved written informed consent form in accordance with regulatory and institutional guidelines. This must be obtained before the performance of any protocol related procedures that are not part of normal subject care. Subjects must be willing and able to comply with scheduled visits, treatment schedule, and laboratory testing.
. Patients diagnosed with histologically or cytologically confirmed locally advanced not eligible to a local treatment or metastatic NSCLC (Stage IIIB, IIIC or IV accordingly to 8th classification TNM, UICC 2015).
. Patients are eligible for trial entry on the basis of locally determined ALK testing. ALK Immunohistochemistry (IHC) assay (3+ only), DNA-based or RNA-based next generation sequencing (NGS) assay, nCounter Nanostring assay or ALK FISH performed locally are accepted ALK testing assays. If ALK rearrangement diagnostic is performed using IHC and the result is + or 2+, a confirmation with a second method performed locally (DNA-based or RNA-based NGS assay, nCounter Nanostring assay or ALK FISH performed) is required.
. All Patients must have at least one measurable target lesion according to RECIST v1.1 per investigator assessment. The radiological assessment has to be done within the timelines indicated.
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.

SponsorIntergroupe Francophone de Cancerologie Thoracique
. Patients with asymptomatic and neurologically stable CNS metastases (including patients controlled with less than 10mg/day of methylprednisolone within the last week prior to study entry) will be eligible.
. Tumor Sample Requirement: sufficient tumor tissue for central analysis should be available (tumor block or a minimum of 10 unstained slides of 4 µm of analyzable tissue).
. Age ≥18 years.
. Life expectancy of at least 12 weeks, in the opinion of the Investigator.
Exclusion criteria
. Previously received an investigational antineoplastic agent for NSCLC.
. Previously received any prior TKI, including ALK-targeted TKIs.
. Known molecular co-alteration i.e. activating EGFR/BRAF/KRAS/MET mutation and ROS1/RET/NTRK fusion.
. Previously received neo-adjuvant or adjuvant systemic chemotherapy or consolidation immunotherapy if completion of (neo) adjuvant/consolidation therapy occurred \<12 months prior to randomization.
. Patients who have leptomeningeal disease (LM) or carcinomatous meningitis (CM) according to MRI data and/or in case of documented cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) positive cytology.
. Spinal cord compression.
. Patients with symptomatic or neurologically instable CNS metastases.
. Major surgery within 30 days of study entry. Minor surgical procedures (e.g., port insertion, mediastinoscopy, surgical procedure for re-sampling) are not excluded, but sufficient time at investigator discretion should have passed for wound healing.
