Phase 2 Study of Brigatinib in Japanese Participants With Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase (ALK)-Positive Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)

A Single-Arm, Multicenter, Phase 2 Study of Brigatinib in Japanese Patients With ALK-Positive Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)

The purpose of this study is to evaluate efficacy and safety of brigatinib in Japanese participants with anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)-positive NSCLC.

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: ALK-positive Advanced NSCLC
• Intervention / Treatment: Drug: Brigatinib

Detailed Description

The drug being tested in this study is called brigatinib. Brigatinib is being tested in participants with ALK-positive NSCLC in order to evaluate efficacy and safety of oral doses of brigatinib in Japanese participants with ALK-positive NSCLC.

The study will enroll approximately 110 participants. Participants will be enrolled in non-randomized and opened manner:

- Brigatinib 90 mg for the first 7 days, followed by Brigatinib 180 mg of Brigatinib tablets, once daily in a 28-days cycle.

All participants will be asked to take tablets of brigatinib once daily with or without food throughout the study.

This multi-center trial will be conducted in Japan. The overall time to participate in this study is approximately 53 months. Participants will make multiple visits to the clinic during the treatment period, and posttreatment period including a follow-up assessment after last dose of study drug.

A new anticancer agent used as maintenance therapy will be counted as a new regimen unless it was previously used as initial anticancer therapy. Neoadjuvant or adjuvant systemic anticancer therapy will be counted as a prior regimen if completion of (neo) adjuvant therapy occurred <12 months before the first dose of brigatinib.

Out of 30, 28 questions had 4 response levels (not at all, a little, quite a bit, and very much); 2 questions for global health status had score of 1 to 7 (very poor to excellent) to evaluate overall health and QOL. Each subscale raw score including global health status was transformed to a total score of 0 to 100. For functional scales, global health status scale, higher scores=better QOL (positive change from Baseline=improvement). For symptom scales, lower scores=better QOL (negative change from Baseline=improvement). As pre-specified in protocol, this outcome measure was assessed and reports data per cohort: Refractory Expansion Participants (including Main Cohort and Sub-Cohort), and TKI-Naive Expansion Cohort.	Refractory Expansion Participants: Baseline and Cycle 22 - each cycle was of 28 days; TKI-Naive Participants: Baseline and Cycle 19 - each cycle was of 28 days
Change From Baseline in HRQOL Scores and Symptoms of Lung Cancer as Assessed With the EORTC QLQ- Lung Cancer (LC) 13 (QLQ-LC13) Subscale Score	HRQOL scores was assessed with EORTC, its lung cancer module QLQ-LC13. QLQ-LC13 contains 13 questions (4-point scale where 1=Not at all [best] to 4=Very much [worst]) assessing lung cancer-associated symptoms [cough, hemoptysis, dyspnea, and site-specific pain (chest, arm or shoulder, other parts)], treatment-related side effects (sore mouth, dysphagia, peripheral neuropathy, and alopecia), and use of pain medication. Subscale score range: 0 to 100. Higher symptom score = greater degree of symptom severity. As pre-specified in the protocol, this outcome measure assessed and reports data per cohort only in the Refractory Expansion Participants (including Main Cohort and Sub-cohort), and TKI-Naive Expansion Cohort.	Refractory Expansion Participants: Baseline and Cycle 22 - each cycle was of 28 days; TKI-Naive Participants: Baseline and Cycle 19 - each cycle was of 28 days
Number of Participants With Responses to HRQOL Scores and Symptoms of Lung Cancer as Assessed With the EuroQol 5-Dimensional Questionnaire (EQ-5D-5L) Score	EQ-5D-5L comprises of 5 dimensions (mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression), each rated on 5 levels: 1= no problems, 2= slight problems, 3= moderate problems, 4= severe problems, 5= extremely severe problems. Higher scores indicated greater levels of problems across the five dimensions. As pre-specified in the protocol, this outcome measure assessed and reports data per cohort only in the Refractory Expansion Participants (including Main Cohort and Sub-cohort), and TKI-Naive Expansion Cohort. Number of participants with a particular score at the given timepoint is reported. Only categories with data are reported.	Refractory Expansion Participants: Cycle 22 - each cycle was of 28 days; TKI-Naive Participants: Cycle 19 - each cycle was of 28 days
Change From Baseline in HRQOL Scores and Symptoms of Lung Cancer as Assessed With the EuroQol Visual Analogue Scale (EQ VAS) Score	The EQ VAS records the respondent's self-rated health on a 20 centimeter (cm), vertical, visual analogue scale ranging from 0 (worst imaginable health state) to 100 (best imaginable health state). As pre-specified in the protocol, this outcome measure assessed and reports data per cohort only in the Refractory Expansion Participants (including Main Cohort and Sub-cohort), and TKI-Naive Expansion Cohort.	Refractory Expansion Participants: Baseline and Cycle 22 - each cycle was of 28 days; TKI-Naive Participants: Baseline and Cycle 19 - each cycle was of 28 days
Cmax: Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration for Brigatinib on Cycle 1 Days 1 and 22	As pre-specified in the protocol, this outcome measure was assessed only in the participants with or without prior ALK-TKI treatment called as the Safety Evaluation Lead-in Part.	Pre-dose and at multiple time points (0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24; up to 24 hrs) post-dose of Cycle 1 Days 1 and 22 (each cycle = 28 days)
Tmax: Time of First Occurrence of Cmax for Brigatinib on Cycle 1 Days 1 and 22	As pre-specified in the protocol, this outcome measure was assessed only in the participants with or without prior ALK-TKI treatment called as the Safety Evaluation Lead-in Part.	Pre-dose and at multiple time points (0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24; up to 24 hrs) post-dose of Cycle 1 Days 1 and 22 (each cycle = 28 days)
AUC(0-24): Area Under the Plasma Concentration-Time Curve From Time 0 to 24 Hours Post-dose for Brigatinib on Cycle 1 Days 1 and 22	As pre-specified in the protocol, this outcome measure was assessed only in the participants with or without prior ALK-TKI treatment called as the Safety Evaluation Lead-in Part.	Pre-dose and at multiple time points (0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24; up to 24 hrs) post-dose of Cycle 1 Days 1 and 22 (each cycle = 28 days)
