Recruitment & Eligibility
- Status
- COMPLETED
- Sex
- All
- Target Recruitment
- 22
-
Patients with a locally advanced or metastatic malignancy that has progressed despite standard therapy, or for which no effective standard therapy exists
-
Only patients with tumors characterized by genetic alterations in ALK. For non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), an ALK translocation must be detected by Fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) in ≥15% of tumor cells. Local site documented results on ALK alteration are acceptable for enrollment of the patients. Central confirmation of local results is not required.
--Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status grade ≤ 2
-
Adequate organ function
-
Dose-expansion part: Patients must have NSCLC that has progressed since prior therapy with alectinib. Alectinib must have been the only prior ALK inhibitor received by the patient prior to trial entry.
- Patients with symptomatic Central Nerve System (CNS) metastases who are neurologically unstable or require increasing doses of steroids to control their CNS disease
- Patients with unresolved nausea, vomiting or diarrhea > Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) grade 1
- Other concurrent severe and/or uncontrolled medical conditions
- Patients who have been treated with chemotherapy or biologic therapy or other investigational agent < 2 weeks prior to starting the daily dosing of the study drug for compounds with a half-life ≤ 3 days, and < 4 weeks prior to starting the daily dosing of the study drug for compounds with a prolonged half-life (< 6 weeks for patients that received nitrosoureas or mitomycin-C)
- Unresolved toxicity greater than CTCAE grade 1 or unstable toxicity from previous anti-cancer therapy or radiotherapy (excluding neurotoxicity, alopecia, ototoxicity, lymphopenia), or incomplete recovery from previous surgery, unless agreed by Novartis and the Principal Investigator and documented
- Patients who have received radiotherapy to lung within 4 weeks prior to starting the daily dosing of the study drug or patients who have not recovered from radiotherapy-related toxicities. For all other anatomic sites radiotherapy to a large volume (including whole brain radiotherapy) < 2 weeks prior to starting the daily dosing of the study drug, and patients who have received radiotherapy to a small volume (including stereotactic radiotherapy to the CNS) < 3 days prior to starting the study drug.
Other protocol-defined inclusion/exclusion criteria may apply.
