ABSTRACT
Introduction:
Previous results from the phase 3 ALESIA study (NCT02838420) revealed that alectinib (a central nervous system [CNS]-active, ALK inhibitor) had clinical benefits in treatment-naïve Asian patients with advanced ALK-positive NSCLC, consistent with the global ALEX study. We present updated data after more than or equal to 5 years of follow-up from the "last patient in" date.Methods:
Adult patients with treatment-naïve, advanced ALK-positive NSCLC from mainland China, South Korea, and Thailand were randomized 21 to receive twice-daily 600 mg alectinib (n = 125) or 250 mg crizotinib (n = 62). The primary endpoint was investigator-assessed progression-free survival. Secondary or exploratory endpoints included overall survival, objective response rate, time to CNS progression, and safety.Results:
At the data cutoff (May 16, 2022), the median survival follow-up was 61 and 51 months in the alectinib and crizotinib arms, respectively. Median progression-free survival was 41.6 months with alectinib versus 11.1 months with crizotinib (stratified hazard ratio = 0.33, 95% confidence interval 0.23-0.49). Overall survival data remain immature; 5-year overall survival rates were 66.4% (alectinib arm) versus 56.1% (crizotinib arm). Objective response rate was 91.2% versus 77.4% with alectinib and crizotinib, respectively. CNS progression was delayed with alectinib versus crizotinib (cause-specific hazard ratio = 0.16, 95% confidence interval 0.08-0.32). Median treatment duration was longer with alectinib versus crizotinib (42.3 versus 12.6 mo). No new safety signals were observed.Conclusions:
With four additional years of follow-up, these updated results confirm the clinical benefit and manageable safety of alectinib in Asian patients with advanced ALK-positive NSCLC, and confirm alectinib as a standard-of-care treatment for patients with advanced ALK-positive NSCLC.
