Brief summary

Fusion of anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) is an important driving gene for NSCLC, with an incidence rate of 3-7%. In patients with advanced ALK mutation NSCLC, first-line use of ALK inhibitors significantly improves progression free survival. The perioperative research on ALK positive NSCLC was relatively late, and currently most studies mainly focus on early to mid stage ALK positive NSCLC patients. The results of two Phase III clinical trials showed that second-generation ALK targeted drugs, neoadjuvant and/or adjuvant therapy for ALK positive NSCLC, significantly prolonged DFS in patients, including increased pathological response rate, median response duration, and prolonged OS. For ALK positive advanced NSCLC patients who are resistant to second-generation ALK targeted drugs, there is currently limited exploration and there is an urgent need for new exploratory clinical studies.This trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of Iruplinalkib neoadjuvant therapy for potentially resectable ALK positive non-small cell lung cancer.

Interventions

60 mg on days 1-7, if tolerable, 180 mg from day 8 onwards.

PROCEDUREsurgery

Patients with resectable tumors after neoadjuvant therapy will be treated with surgery.

Inclusion criteria

* 1\. The patient shall sign the Informed Consent Form. 2.Aged 18 ≥ years. 3.Histological or cytological diagnosis of NSCLC by needle biopsy, and evaluated by researchers as stage III-IVA, and diagnosed as ALK positive through genetic testing. 4.Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance-status score of 0 or 1. 5.

Unsterilized male patients must voluntarily use effective contraception during the study period not less than 120 d

Exclusion criteria

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Objective response rate (ORR)up to 30 monthsORR is defined according to the RECIST v1.1 criteria.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Major pathologic response (MPR) rateUp to 30 monthsMPR rate is defined as the proportion of participants who have achieved major pathologic response (on routine hematoxylin and eosin staining, tumors with no more than 10% viable tumor cells) in all participants.
Overall survival (OS)up to 60 monthsIt is defined as the time (months) from enrollment to death of participant due to any cause. In the case of a patient who still survives at the time of analysis, the date of last contact will be taken as the censoring date.
Event-free survival (EFS)up to 60 monthsEvent-free survival (EFS) is defined as the length of time (months) from randomization to any of the following events: any progression of disease precluding surgery, progression or recurrence disease based on response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (RECIST) 1.1 after surgery, or death due to any cause. Participants who don't undergo surgery for reason other than progression will be considered to have an event at progression or death. Progression is defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. (Note: the appearance of one or more new lesions is also considered progression).
Pathologic complete response (PCR) rateUp to 30 monthsPCR rate is defined as the proportion of participants who have achieved pathologic complete response (on routine hematoxylin and eosin staining, no tumor cell can be found in tumor bed or lymph node) in all participants.
5-year overall survival (OS)Up to 72 monthsOS is defined as the time (months) from enrollment to death of participant due to any cause. In the case of a patient who still survives at the time of analysis, the date of last contact will be taken as the censoring date.
1-year event-free survival (EFS) rateUp to 24 monthsEvent-free survival (EFS) is defined as the length of time (months) from randomization to any of the following events: any progression of disease precluding surgery, progression or recurrence disease based on response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (RECIST) 1.1 after surgery, or death due to any cause. Participants who don't undergo surgery for reason other than progression will be considered to have an event at progression or death. Progression is defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. (Note: the appearance of one or more new lesions is also considered progression).
Health related quality of life (HRQol)Up to 36 monthsThe assessment is made according to the Quality of Life Scale for Lung Cancer Patients (EORTC-QLQ-C30 & LC13, Version 3). EORTC's QLQ-C30 & LC13 (V3.0) is a core scale for lung cancer patients, with a total of 43 items. Among them, Item 29 and 30 are divided into seven grades, which are assigned with 1 to 7 scores according to the answer options. The other items are divided into 4 grades: Not at All, A Little, Quite a Bit, and Very Much, assigned with 1 to 4 scores respectively. The higher score, the worse quality.
Treatment-related adverse event (TRAE)Up to 30 monthsTRAE is defined and classified according to NCI-CTCAE v5.0 in all participants.
