Brief summary

This National Cancer Institute (NCI)-NRG ALK Protocol phase II trial studies how well a combination of different biomarker/ALK inhibitors work in treating patients with stage IV ALK positive non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer. Lorlatinib, ceritinib, alectinib, brigatinib, ensartinib, and crizotinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as pemetrexed, cisplatin, and carboplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. It is not yet known whether a combination of biomarker/ALK inhibitors or chemotherapy may work better in treating patients with ALK positive non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer.

Detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To assess whether ALK kinase domain mutations (G1202/C1156Y/I1171/L1196/ V1180/ F1174/compound mutation) associated with drug resistance are prognostic for objective response to subsequent ALK inhibitor therapy. II. To assess whether subsequent pemetrexed based chemotherapy improves objective response comparing to ALK inhibitor therapy for no ALK mutation patients. III. To evaluate objective responses of patients with specific genetic alterations (ALKL1198F/MET double mutation or high-level MET gene amplification) treated with crizotinib. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. Progression-free survival (PFS). II. Duration of response (DOR). III. Overall survival (OS). IV. Intracranial objective response rate (ORR). V. Safety and tolerability. CORRELATIVE SCIENCE OBJECTIVE: I. Establish concordance between tumor and liquid biopsies. OUTLINE: Patients with a G1202R or G1202del mutation receive either lorlatinib orally (PO) once daily (QD) or brigatinib PO QD. Cycles repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients with a C1156Y mutation receive either lorlatinib PO QD, brigatinib PO QD, or alectinib PO twice daily (BID). Cycles repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients with a I1171 mutation receive either lorlatinib PO QD, ceritinib PO QD, or brigatinib PO QD. Cycles repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients with a L1196 mutation receive either lorlatinib PO QD, brigatinib PO QD, ensartinib PO QD, alectinib PO BID, or ceritinib PO QD. Cycles repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients with a V1180 mutation receive either lorlatinib PO QD, brigatinib PO QD, or ceritinib PO QD. Cycles repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients with a F1174 mutation receive either alectinib PO BID, lorlatinib PO QD, or brigatinib PO QD. Cycles repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients with a compound mutation receive lorlatinib PO QD. Cycles repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients with an ALK L1198F mutation alone or with another mutation, and patients with high level MET amplification receive crizotinib PO BID. Cycles repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients with no ALK-resistant mutations receive either lorlatinib PO QD, ceritinib PO QD, alectinib PO BID, brigatinib PO QD, or ensartinib PO QD, or pemetrexed intravenously (IV) over 10 minutes on day 1 and either cisplatin IV or carboplatin IV on day 1. ALK inhibitor cycles repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Pemetrexed-based treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 6 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Maintenance treatment of pemetrexed may continue until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for 30 days, every 3 months for 2 years, every 6 months for 3 years, and annually thereafter.

BOR= best response recorded from start of treatment to first progression (PD)/new anticancer therapy, otherwise last follow-up. * CR: disappearance of target and non-target lesions; no new lesions; pathological lymph nodes \< 10mm. * PR: 30% decrease in target lesions; non-target lesions not progressed or not evaluated; no new lesions. * PD: 20% increase of target lesions and/or new lesion(s). ORR was to be compared using Fisher's exact test within each ALK inhibitor treatment arm (each mutation vs. no mutation) and also within the subset of subjects with no mutation comparing each experimental arm vs. pemetrexed. Due to early accrual closure (few subjects), only the number of subjects with BOR of CR or PR are provided, by mutation, no statistical testing.

Progression-free Survival (PFS), Per Investigator Assessment Using RECIST v1.1 Criteria

Progression-free survival time is defined as the time from second step registration to the date of the first disease progression / progressive disease (PD), death, or last known follow-up (censored). Progressive disease is defined as a 20% increase of target lesions and/or new lesion(s). Percentage of participants progression-free at a given time (PFS) was to be estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method. Median PFS and PFS at specific time points was to be reported, with 95% confidence intervals, for each mutation (or no mutation)/regimen combination. Due to early accrual closure resulting in few participants, only the number of participants who progressed or died, by mutation, with no statistical testing.

Time frame: Baseline to the date of the first disease progression / progressive disease, death, or last known follow-up. Maximum follow-up time was 33.6 months, median 8.9 months.

Population: Eligible participants who started protocol treatment and had post-baseline disease assessment. Treatment arms with no evaluable participants are not shown.

Agreement of Biopsy Mutation and Circulating Free Deoxyribonucleic Acid (cfDNA) Mutation Results

For each mutation, the agreement of the biopsy result (present, absent, unavailable) and the cfDNA result (present, absent, unavailable) would be assessed. Agreement of cfDNA and biopsy results will be considered separately for MET amplification and for the gene mutations. This outcome measure was to be contingent upon FDA approval of the outcome measure analysis plan, which was not pursued due to the early accrual closure.

Time frame: Baseline

Population: No assay data for analysis was received.
