Who may be able to join
- PRIOR TO STEP 1 REGISTRATION
- Patients must have histologically or cytologically confirmed stage IV ALK-positive non-squamous non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) (includes M1a, M1b, M1c stage disease, American Joint Committee on Cancer [AJCC] 8th edition). ALK rearrangement must have been demonstrated by a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved assay (Vysis fluorescence in situ hybridization [FISH] or Ventana immunohistochemistry [IHC]) or by next generation sequencing (NGS)
- Patient must be willing and able to undergo a fresh biopsy or if patient has a biopsy after progression on current tyrosine-kinase inhibitor (TKI) within 3 months of study enrollment (and has continued TKI for clinical benefit per treating physician) this tissue may be used. Must have sufficient tissue
- Patient must have progressive disease as defined by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 after one second generation ALK inhibitor, including LDK378 (ceritinib), alectinib, ensartinib, and brigatinib (may not have received more than one second-generation ALK inhibitor). Patient may have received prior crizotinib; however, the second generation ALK inhibitor received must be the last treatment given prior to study enrollment
- Prior lorlatinib (third-generation ALK inhibitor) is not allowed
- Prior chemotherapy is not allowed except for one prior cycle received at the time of original diagnosis of metastatic NSCLC with no evidence of disease progression following the cycle. NOTE: prior adjuvant or neoadjuvant chemotherapy is allowed if last dose was received more than 12 months prior to enrollment

- The patient or a legally authorized representative must provide study-specific informed consent prior to Step 1 Registration
- PRIOR TO STEP 2 REGISTRATION
- Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) >= 1500 cells/mm^3 (within 28 days prior to step 2 registration)
- Platelets >= 100,000 cells/mm^3 (within 28 days prior to step 2 registration)
- Estimated creatinine clearance >= 60 mL/min by the Cockcroft Gault formula (within 28 days prior to step 2 registration)

- Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) =< 2.5 x ULN; =< 5 x ULN if liver metastases are present (within 28 days prior to step 2 registration)
- Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) =< 2.5 x ULN; =< 5 x ULN if liver metastases are present (within 28 days prior to step 2 registration)
- Patients with asymptomatic treated or untreated brain metastases are eligible. Treated brain metastases are eligible as long as patients have measurable disease outside the brain according to RECIST 1.1. Patients must be on a stable or decreasing dose of steroids for at least 7 days prior to step 2 registration. Anticonvulsants are allowed as long as the patient is neurologically stable and not deteriorating
- Patients enrolled with asymptomatic brain metastases (mets) must have at least one measurable target extracranial lesion according to RECIST 1.1
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0-2
- Acute effects of any prior therapy resolved to baseline severity or to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) grade =< 1 (except for alopecia, hearing loss)
- Not taking any medications that may interact with selected study medication based on stratification
- Patients must be able to take oral medications (i.e. swallow whole tablets/capsules)
- All females of childbearing potential must have a blood test or urine study within 14 days prior to Step 2 Registration to rule out pregnancy. A female of childbearing potential is any woman, regardless of sexual orientation or whether they have undergone tubal ligation, who meets the following criteria:
- Has not undergone a hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy; or
- Has not been naturally postmenopausal for at least 24 consecutive months (i.e., has had menses at any time in the preceding 24 consecutive months)
- Women must not be pregnant or breast-feeding due to potential harm to the fetus or infant from ALK inhibitors and the unknown risk. Women of childbearing potential and sexually active males must agree to use an accepted and effective method of contraception or to abstain from sexual intercourse for the duration of their participation in the study
Who cannot join
- Major surgery within 2 weeks of study entry. Minor surgical procedures (e.g., port insertion, pleurex catheter placement) are allowed and all wounds must not show signs of infection or draining

Stereotactic or small field brain irradiation must have completed at least 1 week prior to study entry. Whole brain RT or other palliative RT must have been completed at least 2 weeks prior to study entry
- Prior dose of next generation ALK inhibitor (LDK378 [ceritinib], alectinib, ensartinib, lorlatinib) within 5 days prior to step 2 registration. Prior dose of brigatinib within 7 days prior to step 2 registration
- History of interstitial lung disease or interstitial fibrosis, including a history of pneumonitis, obliterative bronchiolitis, pulmonary fibrosis. Patients with a history of prior radiation pneumonitis are not excluded
- Active inflammatory gastrointestinal disease (such as Crohns, ulcerative colitis), chronic diarrhea, symptomatic diverticular disease, or any gastrointestinal disease that would affect the absorption of oral medications or increase the risk of toxicity
- Clinically significant cardiovascular abnormalities, as determined by the treating/registering physician, such as uncontrolled hypertension, congestive heart failure New York Heart Association (NYHA) classification of 3, unstable angina or poorly controlled arrhythmia, or myocardial infarction within 6 months

- Other concomitant serious illness or organ system dysfunction that in the opinion of the investigator would either compromise patient safety or interfere with the evaluation of the safety of the study drug
- Patients must not plan to receive any other investigational agents during the course of therapy
- Patients with active malignancy other than ALK-positive non-squamous NSCLC within the last 2 years are excluded (note: adequately treated basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer, in situ cervical cancer, papillary thyroid cancer treated with curative intent, adequately treated stage I or II cancer from which the patient is currently in complete remission, or any other cancer from which the patient has been disease free for 2 years are eligible)
- No chemotherapy and/or immunotherapy allowed after step 1 registration

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.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
- 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:
- 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:
- Establish concordance between tumor and liquid biopsies.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Objective Response Rate (ORR), Per Investigator Assessment Using the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1 Criteria
ORR= number of subjects with best overall response (BOR) of complete or partial response (CR, PR) divided by number of evaluable subjects. 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. Analysis was to occur after each patient was potentially followed ≥ 24 weeks.
Measured: Baseline to 24 weeks
Secondary outcomes (5)
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.
Measured: 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.
Duration of Overall Response, Per Investigator Assessment Using RECIST v1.1
Duration of overall response (DOR) is defined as the time from the first occurrence of a documented BOR of CR or PR to the first date of recorded disease progression (PD) or death from any cause (whichever occurs first). BOR is the best response recorded from the 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).
Median DOR was to be estimated, with 95% confidence intervals, for each mutation/regimen combination using the Kaplan-Meier method. Due to early accrual closure resulting in few subjects, only the mean and range DOR are provided, by mutation, and no statistical testing was done.
Measured: 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.
Overall Survival (OS)
Survival time is defined as the time from second step registration to the date of death, or last known follow-up (censored). Percentage of participants alive at a given time (OS) was to be estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method. Median OS and OS at specific time points was to be reported, with 95% confidence intervals, for each mutation/regimen combination. Due to early accrual closure resulting in few patients, only the number of participants who died are provided, by mutation, and no statistical testing was done.
Measured: Baseline to the date of death or last known follow-up. Maximum follow-up time was 33.6 months, median 8.9 months.
Intracranial Objective Response Rate, Per Investigator Assessment Using RECIST v1.1
Intracranial objective response rate (IORR) is defined as the number of participants with central nervous system (CNS) metastasis complete or partial response (CR, PR) divided by the number of evaluable participants with baseline CNS metastasis and no prior CNS radiation therapy. Participants who required additional treatment (for their non-cranial systemic disease) would be considered as non-responders (if they have not previously had an intracranial response).
- 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.
IORR was to be estimated for each mutation/regimen combination, with the associated 95% confidence intervals (using Clapper-Pearson method). Due to early accrual closure resulting in few subjects, only the number of subjects with CR or PR are provided, by mutation, with no statistical testing.
Measured: Baseline to 24 weeks
Number of Participants by Highest Grade Adverse Event Reported
Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (version 4.0) grades adverse event severity from 1=mild to 5=death. Summary data is provided in this outcome measure; see Adverse Events Module for specific adverse event data.
Measured: Baseline to the date of last known follow-up. Maximum follow-up time was 33.6 months, median 8.9 months.

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
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.

Time frame: Baseline to 24 weeks
ORR= number of subjects with best overall response (BOR) of complete or partial response (CR, PR) divided by number of evaluable subjects. 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. Analysis was to occur after each patient was potentially followed ≥ 24 weeks.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing Alectinib, Brigatinib and Carboplatin in people with Lung Non-Squamous Non-Small Cell Carcinoma and Stage IV Lung Cancer AJCC v8, run by National Cancer Institute (NCI) at 491 sites in United States.
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 24 inclusion and 12 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Apr 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 491 sites in United States. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 21 Nov 2023). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
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?
Objective Response Rate (ORR), Per Investigator Assessment Using the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1 Criteria (time frame: Baseline to 24 weeks). 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 23 Apr 2026.
