Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)

The primary objective of this trial is to evaluate the efficacy in terms of progression-free survival (PFS) for brigatinib consolidation compared to observation/durvalumab, in patients with unresectable stage III NSCLC and ALK-rearrangement, who completed definitive chemo-radiotherapy without disease progression.

Main objective

Scope: Therapy, Safety, Efficacy

The primary objective of this trial is to evaluate the efficacy in terms of progression-free survival (PFS) for brigatinib consolidation compared to observation/durvalumab, in patients with unresectable stage III NSCLC and ALK-rearrangement, who completed definitive chemo-radiotherapy without disease progression. Secondary measures of clinical efficacy will be evaluated, including overall survival (OS), CNS-relapse-free survival, patterns of disease progression, and safety.

Secondary objectives 1

  1. To evaluate secondary measures of clinical efficacy including overall survival (OS), CNS-relapse-free survival, patterns of disease progression, and safety.

Conditions and MedDRA coding

#TitleAllocationBlindingRoles blindedArms
1 Screening
The following examinations have to be done within 5 weeks before enrolment: Written informed consent Written informed consent (signed and dated by patient and investigator) must be obtained before any trial-specific evaluations and interventions, including the collection of mandatory biological material. (Informed consent may be obtained earlier than 5 weeks before enrolment). Eligibility for enrolment All eligibility criteria listed must be met before enrolling the patient. Demographics Year of birth, gender, race. Medical history Smoking history, comorbidities (including COVID-19 infection), medications (including SARS-CoV-2 vaccination), allergies and baseline symptoms. Physical examination Including ECOG PS, blood pressure, heart rate, body temperature, body weight and height. Pregnancy test Women of childbearing potential, including women who had their last menstrual period in the last 2 years, must have a negative serum or urine beta HCG pregnancy test at screening before enrolment. Pregnancy testing should be repeated for the duration of protocol treatment, if required per local laws and local clinical practice. Routine laboratory assessments as per local clinical practice. Radiological tumour assessment • Brain imaging by MRI (preferable) or high-resolution brain CT • Whole body FDG-PET-CT TNM categories (for staging) ALK-positivity on tumour tissue, assessed locally FFPE tumour material for translational research Blood samples for translational research
Not Applicable None
2 Chemo-radiotherapy phase
• Standard platinum-based chemotherapy to be administered as per local standards according to the ESMO guidelines. • Radiotherapy defined with biologically equivalent dose of 54 – 66Gy - concurrent or sequential to standard platinum-based chemotherapy - or, exceptionally, curative radiotherapy alone
Not Applicable None
3 Restaging
The following assessments will be performed: Brain imaging by MRI Contrast-enhanced CT of thorax and upper abdomen
Not Applicable None
4 Consolidation phase
• Experimental arm: Brigatinib 180 mg once daily p.o., with seven day lead-in at 90 mg once daily, for 3 years or until progression of disease, or unacceptable toxicities or withdrawal of consent. • Control arm: Patients in the control arm will be observational, or, as per investigators choice, patients may receive durvalumab, administered within the label in the respective country.
Randomised Controlled None Experimental arm: Brigatinib 180 mg once daily p.o., with seven day lead-in at 90 mg once daily, for 3 years or until progression of disease, or unacceptable toxicities or withdrawal of consent
Control arm: Patients in the control arm will be observational, or, as per investigators choice, patients may receive durvalumab, administered within the label in the respective country.
5 Follow-up before progression
Patients in the experimental arm and patients in the observation arm, who had the End of Treatment visit before progression, should have the following examinations documented every 12 weeks (±2 weeks, at about the same time as tumour imaging visits), from the end of treatment visit until documented progression of disease. Physical examination Including ECOG PS, blood pressure, heart rate, body temperature and body weight. Radiological tumour assessment • Brain imaging: by MRI (preferable) or high-resolution brain CT, every 12 weeks (±2 weeks), until progression. • Contrast-enhanced CT of thorax and upper abdomen, every 12 weeks (±2 weeks), until progression.
Not Applicable None
6 Follow-up beyond progression
After progression, all patients will be followed up every 12 weeks (±2 weeks) starting from date of progression until the trial ends. Upon upfront notification to ETOP IBCSG Partners, these visits can be done remotely over the phone. The following should be documented: Further lines of treatment Survival

Eligibility criteria

Principal inclusion / exclusion criteria as submitted by sponsor

Inclusion criteria 1

  1. Most important inclusion criteria for enrolment: • Pathologically documented, treatment naïve unresectable stage III NSCLC • Documented ALK-fusion, tested locally on tumor tissue by a validated method (DNA NGS, RNA NGS, FISH, IHC, or ctDNA) • ECOG Performance Status 0-1 • Age ≥18 years • Patient is a candidate to receive chemo-radiotherapy, as per investigator’s assessment (including adequate haematological, renal and liver function as per local clinical practice). • Negative pregnancy test for women of childbearing potential. • Ability to comply with the trial protocol, in the investigator's judgment. • Written informed consent for trial participation must be signed and dated by the patient and the investigator prior to any trial-related intervention, including the submission of mandatory biomaterial. Most important inclusion criteria for randomisation: Randomisation of eligible patients must occur within 8 weeks after the last radiotherapy fraction. • Completion of thoracic radiotherapy • Non-PD at restaging • Adequate haematological, renal and liver function. • Negative pregnancy test for women of childbearing potential • No radiation pneumonitis of grade ≥2 • All other AEs from previous chemo-radiotherapy resolved to grade <2 (except for alopecia) • ECOG 0-2 • No major surgery, as defined by the investigator, within 4 weeks of the first planned dose of brigatinib. Minor surgical procedures such as catheter placement or minimally invasive biopsies are allowed. • No systemic treatment with strong cytochrome p-450 (cyp)3a inhibitors, strong cyp3a inducers, or moderate cyp3a inducers within 14 days before randomisation.

Exclusion criteria 1

  1. Most important exclusion criteria for enrolment: • Diagnosis of another primary malignancy other than NSCLC. • Prior treatment for NSCLC • Any evidence of stage IV NSCLC • Significant, uncontrolled, or active cardiovascular disease - History of clinically significant atrial arrhythmia (including clinically significant brady-arrhythmia), as determined by the treating physician. - Any history of clinically significant ventricular arrhythmia. - Cerebrovascular accident or transient ischemic attack within 6 months before enrolment. - Myocardial infarction within 6 months before enrolment. - Unstable angina within 6 months before enrolment. - Congestive heart failure within 6 months before enrolment. • Uncontrolled hypertension: Patients with hypertension should be under treatment on study entry to control blood pressure. • History or the presence at baseline of pulmonary interstitial disease, drug-related pneumonitis. • Ongoing or active infection, including, but not limited to, the requirement for intravenous antibiotics. • Malabsorption syndrome or other GI illness that could affect oral absorption of brigatinib. • Known or suspected hypersensitivity to brigatinib or its excipients. • Any concurrent medical condition which, in the opinion of the investigator, would compromise patient safety or interfere with the evaluations of brigatinib.
