Study Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the treatment by systemic Brigatinib (ALUNBRIG®) associated to local ablative therapy (LAT) treatment is improved if administered when the brigatinib works best in participants presenting an advanced non-small cells lung cancer with an ALK gene anomaly (this anomaly produces a defective protein that is responsible for the multiplication of cancer cells).

This clinical trial is expected to involve 45 participants in several sites in France.

Advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) participants with ALK rearrangements treated with brigatinib in first line of non-curable setting will be screened.

If the disease assessment done between 3 to 9 months after initiation of brigatinib shows:

  • a tumor response or stabilization (according to RECIST 1.1)

  • a disease which meets the definition of an oligometastatic disease (five metastatic lesions or less and a maximum of two lesions per organ)

  • all tumor targets are accessible to a local ablative therapy (confirmed by an expert panel of clinicians before inclusion): surgery, stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS). For liver, adrenal, or other metastases, percutaneous thermal ablation will be accepted.

Participants will be asked to visit the clinic:

  • for eligibility criteria assessment prior to LAT

  • for LAT

  • every 8 weeks for checkups and tests the first year after LAT

  • and then every 12 weeks, for a maximum period of 3 years.

Eligible patients will benefit from local ablative therapy with continuation of brigatinib.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Age 18 years or older at diagnosis.

  • Stage 3 non eligible for chemoradiotherapy or stage 4 NSCLC, histologically orcytologically confirmed NSCLC.

  • Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor (TKI) treatment naïve.

  • ALK rearrangements identified by a validated technique (either Immunohistochimy (IHC), fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) or Ribonucleic Acid (RNA)seq, intissue or liquid biopsy)

  • Stable disease or response after initiation brigatinib treatment (at least 3 to 9months) according to RECIST 1.1

  • At least one site of residual site for LAT (ie. participant should not have acomplete response)

  • Oligometastatic disease (five metastatic lesions or less and a maximum of twolesions per organ) de novo or induced

  • Eligible for local ablative treatment possible (either alone or combined): surgery,minimally invasive form of surgical radiosurgery (Stereotactic Radio Surgery (SRS)) (18 to 20 Gy in single fraction) or radiotherapy (SBRT) (27 to 54 Gy in 3 fractionsor 45 to 50 Gy in 5 fractions), radiofrequency or cryotherapy (=thermoablation)

  • An Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS) ≤2.

  • Life expectancy above 12 weeks as assessed by treating investigator.

  • Brain metastases at inclusion are allowed if asymptomatic

  • No history of other malignant tumor during the previous 5 years, except foradequately treated carcinomas (in situ cervical carcinoma, basal cell carcinoma,squamous cell skin carcinoma) and low-grade localized prostate cancer (Gleason <6).

  • Adequate organ function, as demonstrated by laboratory results prior to the firstadministration of study treatment: normal hepatic function (bilirubin ≤1.5 x upperlimit of normal (ULN), alanine aminotransferase (ALA T) and aspartateaminotransferase (ASAT) ≤2.5 x ULN or ≤5 x ULN in case of liver metastases), renalfunction (calculated creatinine clearance (CrCl, using local formula) above 45ml/mn), normal hematological function (absolute neutrophil count

≥1.5 x 109/L and/or platelets ≥100 x 109/L, hemoglobin ≥8 g/dL), normal coagulationfunction (International Normalized Ratio (INR) or prothrombin time ≤1.5 x ULN andactivated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) or partial thromboplastin time (PTT) ≤1.5 x ULN unless the patient is receiving anticoagulant therapy)

  • For patients of childbearing potential: Women of childbearing potential should useeffective non-hormonal contraception during treatment with brigatinib and for atleast 4 months following the final dose. Men with female partners of childbearingpotential should use effective contraception during treatment and for at least 3months after the last dose of brigatinib.

  • Signed informed consent to participate in the study

  • Affiliation with or benefit from French social security

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  • NSCLC without known ALK rearrangements

  • Neuroendocrine tumor (even in case of mixed tumors).

  • Uncontrolled and untreated superior cava syndrome.

  • Unstable symptomatic brain metastases despite corticosteroid

  • Leptomeningeal, pericardial, pleural and mesenteric lesions, lymphangitic spread (any tumoral lesions not amenable to definitive local therapy). Peri tumorallymphangitic spread around a tumor, but limited to a lobe, may be treated bysurgery).

  • Serious concurrent conditions during the previous 6 months (severe or unstableangina pectoris, coronary or peripheral artery bypass graft of <6 months, class 3or 4 congestive heart failure, ischemic stroke, grade ≥2 peripheral neuropathy,psychiatric or neurological disorders that may interfere with the patient'sunderstanding of the study or with his/her informed consent.

  • Severe or non-controlled systemic diseases deemed incompatible with the protocol.

  • Severe infections within 4 weeks prior to inclusion, including, but not limited to,hospitalization for complications of infection, bacteremia, or severe pneumonia.

  • Psychological, family, social, or geographical factors that may interfere with themonitoring of the patient as defined by the protocol.

  • Any protected person (legal person protected by legal protection [guardianship,tutorship], person deprived of liberty, pregnant woman, breastfeeding woman, andminor).

  • Patients who participated in other concomitant studies unless observational andreceived study therapy or used an investigational device within 4 weeks prior tostart of study treatment

  • Known allergies or adverse reactions to the study drugs

  • Lung function not compatible with surgery or radiation
