          Abstract

          A 40-year-old Japanese man with advanced pulmonary adenocarcinoma harboring anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)-rearranged was administered the selective ALK inhibitor ceritinib as a third-line treatment and continued treatment for nine months. After fourth-line treatment, we performed rechallenge with ceritinib as a fifth-line treatment. On day 54 after rechallenge, the patient developed acutely deteriorating dyspnea. Chest computed tomography showed extensive ground-glass opacities. We diagnosed him with ceritinib-induced interstitial lung disease (ILD) and initiated methylprednisolone pulse therapy. To our knowledge, this is the first report of ceritinib-induced ILD in a Japanese patient. Since it may newly emerge with rechallenge therapy, close attention is necessary.

          Phase 2 prospective analysis of alectinib in ALK-positive, crizotinib-resistant non-small-cell lung cancer

          Summary Background Alectinib, a highly selective, central nervous system (CNS)-active anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) inhibitor, demonstrated promising clinical activity in crizotinib-naïve and crizotinib-resistant ALK-positive non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This phase 2 study evaluated the safety and efficacy of alectinib in ALK-positive NSCLC patients who progressed on previous crizotinib. Methods This ongoing North American study (NCT01871805) enrolled patients with stage IIIB/IV ALK-positive NSCLC, who had progressed following crizotinib. Patients were treated with oral alectinib 600 mg twice daily until progression, death or withdrawal. Primary endpoint was overall response rate (ORR) by independent review committee (IRC) using RECIST v1.1. Secondary endpoints included progression-free survival (PFS), duration of response (DOR), intracranial ORR and DOR, safety, and patient-reported outcomes. The intent-to-treat population was used for efficacy and safety analyses, with the response evaluable population used for response endpoints. Findings A total of 87 patients were enrolled in the intent-to-treat population. All patients had received prior crizotinib therapy, and 64 patients (74%) had also received prior chemotherapy. Fifty-two patients (60%) had baseline CNS metastases, of whom 18 (35%) had received no prior brain radiation therapy. At the time of primary analysis (median follow-up 4.8 months), ORR by IRC was 48% (95% CI 36–60). Adverse events were predominantly grade 1 or 2, most commonly constipation, fatigue, myalgia and peripheral edema. The most common grade ≥3 AEs were changes in laboratory values, including increased blood creatine phosphokinase (in 8%, n=7), increased alanine aminotransferase (in 6% n=5), and increased aspartate aminotransferase (in 5% n=4). Interpretation Alectinib demonstrated clinical efficacy and was well tolerated in patients with ALK-positive NSCLC who had progressed on crizotinib. Alectinib was active in the CNS, as demonstrated by durable responses in the majority of crizotinib-resistant patients with CNS disease. Therefore, alectinib could be a suitable treatment for patients with ALK-positive disease who have progressed on crizotinib.

            CH5424802 (RO5424802) for patients with ALK-rearranged advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (AF-001JP study): a single-arm, open-label, phase 1-2 study.

            Currently, crizotinib is the only drug that has been approved for treatment of ALK-rearranged non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We aimed to study the activity and safety of CH5424802, a potent, selective, and orally available ALK inhibitor. In this multicentre, single-arm, open-label, phase 1-2 study of CH5424802, we recruited ALK inhibitor-naive patients with ALK-rearranged advanced NSCLC from 13 hospitals in Japan. In the phase 1 portion of the study, patients received CH5424802 orally twice daily by dose escalation. The primary endpoints of the phase 1 were dose limiting toxicity (DLT), maximum tolerated dose (MTD), and pharmacokinetic parameters. In the phase 2 portion of the study, patients received CH5424802 at the recommended dose identified in the phase 1 portion of the study orally twice a day. The primary endpoint of the phase 2 was the proportion of patients who had an objective response. Treatment was continued in 21-day cycles until disease progression, intolerable adverse events, or withdrawal of consent. The analysis was done by intent to treat. This study is registered with the Japan Pharmaceutical Information Center, number JapicCTI-101264. Patients were enrolled between Sept 10, 2010, and April 18, 2012. The data cutoff date was July 31, 2012. In the phase 1 portion, 24 patients were treated at doses of 20-300 mg twice daily. No DLTs or adverse events of grade 4 were noted up to the highest dose; thus 300 mg twice daily was the recommended phase 2 dose. In the phase 2 portion of the study, 46 patients were treated with the recommended dose, of whom 43 achieved an objective response (93.5%, 95% CI 82.1-98.6) including two complete responses (4.3%, 0.5-14.8) and 41 partial responses (89.1%, 76.4-96.4). Treatment-related adverse events of grade 3 were recorded in 12 (26%) of 46 patients, including two patients each experiencing decreased neutrophil count and increased blood creatine phosphokinase. Serious adverse events occurred in five patients (11%). No grade 4 adverse events or deaths were reported. The study is still ongoing, since 40 of the 46 patients in the phase 2 portion remain on treatment. CH5424802 is well tolerated and highly active in patients with advanced ALK-rearranged NSCLC.
