About this study
Official title: A Phase 1/2 Study of the Selective Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase (ALK) Inhibitor NVL-655 in Patients With Advanced NSCLC and Other Solid Tumors (ALKOVE-1)
Phase 1/2, dose escalation and expansion study designed to evaluate the safety and tolerability of neladalkib (NVL-655), determine the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D), and evaluate the antitumor activity in patients with advanced ALK- positive (ALK+) NSCLC and other solid tumors.
Phase 1 will evaluate the overall safety and tolerability of neladalkib and will determine the RP2D and, if applicable, the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of neladalkib in patients with advanced ALK+ solid tumors.
Read more
Phase 2 will determine the objective response rate (ORR) as assessed by Blinded Independent Central Review (BICR) of neladalkib at the RP2D. Secondary objectives will include the duration of response (DOR), time to response (TTR), progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and clinical benefit rate (CBR) of neladalkib in patients with advanced ALK-positive NSCLC and other solid tumors.
A drug-drug interaction (DDI) sub-study will determine the effect of neladalkib on the pharmacokinetics of midazolam and repaglinide, as well as the effect of itraconazole on the pharmacokinetics of neladalkib, in patients with advanced ALK-positive NSCLC
Read the detailed description
In Phase 2, study patients will be enrolled into 6 distinct cohorts:
- Cohort 2a: Patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC harboring an ALK rearrangement who have received 1 prior 2nd-generation ALK TKI (ceritinib, alectinib, or brigatinib). Up to 2 prior lines of chemotherapy and/or immunotherapy are allowed.
- Cohort 2b: Patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC harboring an ALK rearrangement, who have received 2-3 prior ALK TKIs (crizotinib, ceritinib, alectinib, brigatinib, or lorlatinib). Up to 2 prior lines of chemotherapy and/or immunotherapy are allowed.
- Cohort 2c: Patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC harboring an ALK rearrangement, who have received lorlatinib as the only prior ALK TKI therapy. Up to one prior line of chemotherapy and/or immunotherapy received prior to lorlatinib is allowed.
- Cohort 2d: Patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC harboring an ALK rearrangement, who are naïve to ALK TKI therapy. Up to one prior line of chemotherapy and/or immunotherapy is allowed.
- Cohort 2e: Patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC harboring an ALK rearrangement, not eligible for other Phase 2 cohorts.
- Cohort 2f: Patients with other solid tumors harboring an ALK rearrangement or activating ALK mutation, who have received ≥1 prior systemic anticancer therapy, or for whom no satisfactory standard therapy exists.
In the DDI sub-study, study patients will be enrolled into 2 distinct cohorts:
- Cohort G (DDI sub-study with midazolam and repaglinide): Patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC harboring an ALK rearrangement who have received ≥1 prior ALK TKI.
- Cohort H (DDI sub-study with itraconazole): Patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC harboring an ALK rearrangement who have received ≥1 prior ALK TKI.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1/2 study testing Neladalkib (NVL-655), Midazolam and Repaglinide in people with Locally Advanced Solid Tumor and Metastatic Solid Tumor, run by Nuvalent Inc. at 74 sites in 15 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 9 inclusion and 5 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Nov 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 74 sites in United States, Italy, Japan, Spain, Canada and 10 more countries. 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 combined 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.
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?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Nuvalent Clinical Trial (857-357-7000, clinicaltrials@nuvalent.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) (Phase 1) (time frame: Within the first 21 days of the first neladalkib (NVL-655) dose). The study lists 7 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 6 Nov 2026.
