ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is investigating a medication called gilteritinib to see how safe it is, what side effects it may cause, and the best dose to use for treating patients with stage IV ALK positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have not had success with other treatments. Gilteritinib is already approved for a type of leukemia, but researchers believe it could also help those with lung cancer that has become resistant to other therapies. The study is currently looking for participants aged 18 and older who have a specific type of lung cancer with an ALK fusion gene, and who have previously tried other targeted therapies or chemotherapy.
If you decide to participate, you will take gilteritinib and be monitored closely by the medical team for any side effects and how well the treatment is working. To be eligible, you should not have received certain treatments recently, and you must meet specific health criteria, such as having stable blood counts and not being pregnant or breastfeeding. The trial is open to all genders, and it aims to better understand how gilteritinib can help patients with lung cancer that has limited treatment options.

Eligibility criteria
- Inclusion Criteria:
- • Stage IV (American Joint Committee on Cancer \[AJCC\] 8th edition) non-small cell lung cancer with an oncogenic ALK fusion
- • Histologies include adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and adenosquamous adenocarcinoma
- • The presence of an oncogenic ALK fusion established from any Clinical Laboratory Improvement Act (CLIA) certified laboratory
- • The patient must belong to one of the following treatment cohorts.
- • Cohort 1: Prior 1st generation ALK tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) (crizotinib) and/or prior 2nd generation TKI (ceritinib, brigatinib, alectinib) and/or lorlatinib
- • Cohort 2: Prior 1st generation ALK TKI (crizotinib) and/or prior 2nd generation TKI (ceritinib, brigatinib, alectinib) and/or lorlatinib, and platinum-doublet chemotherapy
- • Cohort 3: Prior 1st generation ALK TK (crizotinib) and/or prior 2nd generation TKI (ceritinib, brigatinib, alectinib) and/or lorlatinib, platinum-doublet chemotherapy, and any other number of antineoplastic agents (including immunotherapy, standard or investigational)
- • Age ≥ 18
- • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0-2
- • Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1500/mcL
- • Platelets ≥ 100,000/mcL
- • Hemoglobin ≥ 9 g/dL without transfusion or erythropoietin (EPO) dependency (within 7 days of assessment)
- • Measured or calculated creatinine clearance (CrCl) ≥ 50mL/min (calculated per Cockcroft-Gault formula)
- • Serum total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 X upper limit of normal (ULN) (per institutional guidelines) OR direct bilirubin ≤ ULN for subjects with total bilirubin levels \> 1.5 ULN
- • Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase \[SGOT\]) ≤ 2.5 X ULN OR ≤ 5 X ULN for subjects with liver metastases
- • Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase \[SGPT\]) ≤ 2.5 X ULN OR ≤ 5 X ULN for subjects with liver metastases
- • Albumin ≥ 2.5g/dL
- • Female subject of childbearing potential should have a negative serum pregnancy test within 21 days of enrollment prior to receiving the first dose of study medication
- • Female subjects of childbearing potential must be willing to use a highly effective method of contraception for the course of the study, through 180 days after the last dose of study medication. Note: Abstinence is acceptable, if patient documents that this is their usual lifestyle or preferred contraception method
- • Male subjects of childbearing potential must agree to use an adequate method of contraception starting with the first dose of study therapy through 4 months after the last dose of study therapy. Note: Abstinence is acceptable, if patient documents that this is their usual lifestyle or preferred contraception method
- • Ability to swallow pills orally and per investigator's assessment, do not have any significant issues limiting absorption of drug
- • Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent
- • Measurable disease per RECIST v1.1 criteria assessed per screening imaging
- • If a cancerous lesion is easily and safely accessible, a pre-treatment biopsy of this lesion is strongly encouraged but NOT required prior to first dose of gilteritinib. Archival or fresh tissue biopsy may be used as long as it was obtained prior to cycle 1 day 1 (C1D1)
- • At least 7 days must have elapsed since last anti-neoplastic TKI, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or investigational agent prior to the first dose of gilteritinib
- Exclusion Criteria:
- • Received palliative radiation within 7 days of enrollment
- • Received prior therapy with a FLT3 inhibitor
- • Has a concurrent active malignancy receiving interventional therapy unless it is the investigator's opinion that the concurrent active malignancy will NOT significantly impact the survival of the patient (i.e. early stage breast cancer or prostate cancer on hormonal therapy, basal cell carcinoma awaiting Moh's or other surgery and the respective interventional therapy does NOT interact or interfere with gilteritinib.
- • Has known active and symptomatic central nervous system (CNS) metastases and/or carcinomatous meningitis.
- • Subjects with previously treated brain metastases may participate provided they are stable (clinically asymptomatic, and ≥ 2 weeks since completion of treatment) and are not using steroids for at least 7 days prior to enrollment. A repeat MRI brain is not necessary to document stability
- • Patients with carcinomatous meningitis are excluded regardless of clinical stability
- • If a patient is found to have new/enlarging brain metastases on the screening MRI, the patient may be monitored closely and radiation could be delayed if the patient has no symptoms, there is no vasogenic edema, and there is no evidence of midline shift.
- • If the patient is symptomatic, there is vasogenic edema, and/or there is midline shift, the patient will need to undergo treatment for these brain metastases and meet exclusion criteria #4 exception to treated brain metastases prior to enrollment. A new MRI brain is NOT required in this situation
- • Is pregnant, breastfeeding, or expecting to conceive or father children within the projected duration of the trial, starting with informed consent through 180 days after the last dose of trial treatment
- • Has Child-Pugh class C cirrhosis from any cause
- • Mean triplicate screening electrocardiogram (EKG) corrected QT (QTc) \> 480 ms
- • Grade 3 or 4 NYHA (New York Heart Association) congestive heart failure, unless screening echocardiogram obtained prior to enrollment showed a LVEF (left ventricular ejection fraction) ≥ 45%
- • Surgery within 4 weeks prior to first study dose
- • Requires treatment with concomitant drugs that are strong inducers of cytochrome P450 (CYP)3A
- • Requires treatment with concomitant drugs that are strong inhibitors or inducers of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) with the exception of drugs that are considered absolutely essential for the care of the patient
- • Requires treatment with concomitant drugs that target serotonin 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 1 (5HT1R) or 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 2B (5HT2BR) or sigma nonspecific receptor, with the exception of drugs that are considered absolutely essential for the care of the patient
- • Active/untreated hepatitis B virus (HBV) or hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection; patients with treated HBV and HCV are allowed as long as they meet the AST/ALT and bilirubin criteria
- • Known hypersensitivity to gilteritinib or any of the excipients
- • Active and clinically significant pancreatitis
