Non-Small-Cell Lung Carcinoma
Conditions
Brief summary
This open-label, non-randomized, multicenter, Phase 1/2 study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of alectinib in participants with non-small cell lung cancer who have ALK mutation and failed crizotinib treatment. In Part 1, cohorts of participants will receive escalating doses of alectinib orally twice daily. In Part 2, participants will receive the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of alectinib as determined in Part 1. Treatment will continue in Part 1 and Part 2 on the same dose until disease progression. In Part 3, following disease progression, participants without epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation will be offered continued treatment with alectinib, participants with EGFR mutations will be offered a combination of alectinib and erlotinib.
Interventions
Erlotinib will be administered at a dose of 100 mg via tablet, orally, once daily in combination with alectinib to participants who progressed on alectinib alone treatment as per treating physician discretion.
Alectinib will be administered at a dose of 600 milligrams (mg) via capsule, orally, twice daily.

Participant flow
Recruitment details
Overall study status was confirmed as completed. Here, 'study terminated by sponsor' in reason for study not completed means participants were transitioned to commercial supply of alectinib (where it was available) or transitioned to a roll-over study BO39694 (NCT03194893) where they continued to receive alectinib treatment.
Pre-assignment details
Part 1 of study was planned to determine recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of alectinib to be used in Part 2. During the conduct of Part 1 for this study, RP2D was confirmed in Study NP28761 (NCT01871805). Hence Part 1 participants were merged into Part 2. Part 3 was post-progression treatment period.
