Who may be able to join

  • Patients must be diagnosed with ALK-positive advanced NSCLC. The tumor must be ALK-positive as determined by ALK rearrangement in ≥15% of cells (as measured by FISH using the Vysis break-apart ALK probe) or by using the Ventana ALK IHC test. The analysis may be performed locally.

  • o A new tumor biopsy is required unless a biopsy performed after progression on the patient's most recent ALK inhibitor is available for submission For all patients a newly obtained tumor specimen must be submitted if no appropriate archival sample is available. In the event that no sample is available and a new biopsy cannot be obtained, enrollment may be considered after discussion with the sponsor.

About this study

Official title: A Phase Ib/II Study of the ALK Inhibitor Ceritinib in Combination With the CDK4/6 Inhibitor LEE011 in Patients With ALK-positive Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

This was a Phase Ib/II study of the ALK inhibitor ceritinib in combination with the CDK4/6 inhibitor LEE011 in patients with ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer.

The purpose of the study was to determine the MTD/RP2D of the LEE011 and ceritinib combination and evaluate whether the combination was safe and had beneficial effects in ALK-positive advanced non-small cell lung cancer patients.

This trial did not progress to Phase II. Trial population terminated before reaching Phase II

Read the detailed description

In Sep-2016, Novartis made a decision not to move into phase ll after the primary objective for this study was met. Because the study never made it to phase ll, the study phase has been changed from a phase l/ll to a phase l.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Ribociclib and Ceritinib in people with Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Novartis Pharmaceuticals at 8 sites in 6 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 22 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Dec 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 8 sites in Italy, Taiwan, United States, France, South Korea and 1 more country. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Incidence rate of dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) during the first cycle of treatment (Phase Ib ) (time frame: 1 month). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 17 Dec 2020.
