Summary

This trial will test the effectiveness of brigatinib on patients with ALK+ non-small cell lung cancer who have already tried and failed treatment with alectinib or ceritinib.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has worsened despite treatment with alectinib or ceritinib. Participants must have at least one measurable tumor, recovered from previous therapy side effects (except hair loss and certain nerve damage), and not received more than three systemic cancer treatments for advanced disease.
What is being tested?
The study tests the effectiveness of brigatinib in treating ALK+ NSCLC after progression on alectinib or ceritinib. The main goal is to see how tumors respond to brigatinib using standard response criteria. Patients' tumors must be tested positive for ALK rearrangement.
What are the potential side effects?
Brigatinib may cause side effects such as high blood pressure, vision changes, muscle pain, fatigue, nausea, diarrhea, coughing and potential risks to heart rhythm. Side effect experiences can vary among individuals.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: Brigatinib 90 mg/180 mg with Optional Dose Escalation to 240 mgExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Brigatinib 90 mg, tablets, orally, once daily for 7 days, followed by Brigatinib 180 mg, tablets, orally, once daily for until objective disease progression per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1, as assessed by the investigator, or intolerable toxicity. Participants who experienced progression on the 180 mg dose and had not experienced toxicities greater than Grade 2 had the option to receive brigatinib 240 mg QD based on investigator's discretion, up to 20 months until data cut-off: 30 September 2020. Participants who experienced progression on any doses but judged as still benefiting from the study treatment by the investigator may continue to use the current dose, up to study end.
