Primary Outcome Measures
Measure: | Objective Response Rate (ORR) |
Time Frame: | Up to 2 years |
Safety Issue: | |
Description: | ORR is defined as the percentage of participants with complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) assessed by the investigator using the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST), v.1.1. CR is defined as disappearance of all target and non-target lesions and no new lesions, and all pathological lymph nodes must have decreased to <10 mm in short axis. PR is defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions (taking as reference the baseline sum diameters), no progression in non-target lesions, and no new lesions. |
Secondary Outcome Measures
Measure: | Central Nervous System Objective Response Rate (C-ORR) |
Time Frame: | Up to 2 years |
Safety Issue: | |
Description: | C-ORR is defined as the percentage of participants who attain a CR or PR of the baseline CNS metastases based on RECIST v.1.1. CR is defined as disappearance of all target and non-target lesions and no new lesions, and all pathological lymph nodes must have decreased to <10 mm in short axis. PR is defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions (taking as reference the baseline sum diameters), no progression in non-target lesions, and no new lesions. |
Measure: | Progression-Free Survival (PFS) |
Time Frame: | Up to 2 years |
Safety Issue: | |
Description: | PFS is defined as the time between first intake of alectinib and the first occurrence of disease progression, or death from any cause during the study, whichever occurs first. Progressive disease (PD) based on RECIST v.1.1. is defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study (nadir), including baseline. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. The appearance of one or more new lesions is also considered progression. |
Measure: | Time to Progression (TTP) |
Time Frame: | Up to 2 years |
Safety Issue: | |
Description: | TTP is defined as the time between first intake of alectinib and the first occurrence of disease progression. PD based on RECIST v.1.1. is defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study (nadir), including baseline. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. The appearance of one or more new lesions is also considered progression. |
Measure: | Disease Control Rate (DCR) |
Time Frame: | Up to 2 years |
Safety Issue: | |
Description: | DCR is defined as the percentage of participants who attain CR, PR, or stable disease (SD) for at least five weeks, based on RECIST v.1.1. CR is defined as disappearance of all target and non-target lesions and no new lesions, and all pathological lymph nodes must have decreased to <10 mm in short axis. PR is defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions (taking as reference the baseline sum diameters), no progression in non-target lesions, and no new lesions. SD is defined as neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for disease progression, taking as reference the smallest sum on study. |
Measure: | Duration of Response (DOR) |
Time Frame: | Up to 2 years |
Safety Issue: | |
Description: | DOR is defined as the time from when response (CR or PR), based on RECIST v.1.1, will be first documented to first documented disease progression or death (whichever occurs first). CR is defined as disappearance of all target and non-target lesions and no new lesions, and all pathological lymph nodes must have decreased to <10 mm in short axis. PR is defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions (taking as reference the baseline sum diameters), no progression in non-target lesions, and no new lesions. PD is defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study (nadir), including baseline. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. The appearance of one or more new lesions is also considered progression. |
Measure: | Central Nervous System DOR (C-DOR) |
Time Frame: | Up to 2 years |
Safety Issue: | |
Description: | C-DOR is defined as the time from the first observation of a CNS response of CR or PR based on RECIST V1.1 until first observation of CNS progression or death from any cause (whichever occurs first). CR is defined as disappearance of all target and non-target lesions and no new lesions, and all pathological lymph nodes must have decreased to <10 mm in short axis. PR is defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions (taking as reference the baseline sum diameters), no progression in non-target lesions, and no new lesions. PD is defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study (nadir), including baseline. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. The appearance of one or more new lesions is also considered progression. |
Measure: | Overall Survival (OS) |
Time Frame: | Up to 2 years |
Safety Issue: | |
Description: | OS is defined as the percentage of participants alive two years after the start of treatment. |
Measure: | Time to Central Nervous System (CNS) Progression |
Time Frame: | Up to 2 years |
Safety Issue: | |
Description: | Time to central nervous system (CNS) progression is defined as the time from first drug intake to first documented occurrence of disease progression in the CNS. PD based on RECIST v.1.1. is defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study (nadir), including baseline. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. The appearance of one or more new lesions is also considered progression. |
Measure: | Percentage of Participants with Adverse Events (AEs) |
Time Frame: | Up to 2 years |
Safety Issue: | |
Description: | An adverse event is considered any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease associated with the use of the study drug, whether or not considered related to the study drug. Preexisting conditions that worsen during the study are reported as adverse events. |
Measure: | Health-Related Quality of Life (QoL), as Assessed by the QLQ-C30 Questionnaire |
Time Frame: | Up to 2 years |
Safety Issue: | |
Description: | The QLQ-C30 Questionnaire is used to assess the quality of life of participants with cancer. It includes five functional scales, three symptom scales, a global health status / QoL scale, and six single items. These components range in score from 0 (low response level) to 100 (high response level). |
Measure: | Health-Related QoL, as Assessed by the LC13 Questionnaire |
Time Frame: | Up to 2 years |
