Chemotherapy Combined with ICIs in First-line Alectinib Failed Patients with ALK-rearranged NSCLC (CLASSIC5)

February 22, 2025 updated by: Yongchang Zhang, Hunan Province Tumor Hospital

Chemotherapy Combined with Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors in Patients with ALK-rearranged Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) Who Have Progressed After First-line Alectinib: a Proof-of-concept, Phase 2 Trial

This study aimed to investigate the combination of chemotherapy and immunotherapy for patients with metastatic ALK fusion-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who had failed from first line Alectinib. Additionally, available biological samples such as blood and tumor tissues were collected to explore potential biomarkers, including but not limited to RNA-seq, whole-exome sequencing (WES), whole-genome sequencing (WGS), immunohistochemistry, and multiplex immunofluorescence.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

  1. The investigators collected data from patients with metastatic ALK fusion-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who received first-line Alectinib treatment between April 2017 and July 2021. Our analysis aimed to assess their clinical outcomes and explore the impact of 5' ALK on the treatment response to Alectinib.
  2. For patients who experienced disease progression after August 2021, they were treated with a combination of chemotherapy and PD-1 monoclonal antibodies with/without Bevacizumab or chemotherapy alone with/without Bevacizumab was observed and recorded data on progression-free survival (PFS), objective response rate (ORR), duration of response (DOR), and overall survival (OS) for these patients.
  3. The investigators collected pre-treatment biological samples for biomarker analysis, including FFPE samples for whole-genome sequencing (WGS), whole-exome sequencing (WES), RNA-seq, and multiplex fluorescence analysis. FFPE samples were also collected for PD-L1 testing. Additionally, pre-treatment blood samples were collected for cytokine analysis, as well as tumor mutational burden (TMB) and T-cell receptor (TCR) testing. The investigators aimed to evaluate the differences in these results between 3' ALK and 5' ALK.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria
