      Background:
      Alectinib is an FDA-approved ALK TKI, for treatment of patients with ALK+ metastatic NSCLC who have progressed on, or are intolerant to, crizotinib. Systemic and CNS efficacy was demonstrated in two single-arm, phase II studies (NP28673 [NCT01801111] and NP28761 [NCT01871805]). We report the pooled systemic efficacy and safety analysis of alectinib from 2016 cut-offs 22 January, NP28761 and 1 February, NP28673.

      Methods:
      Patients were ≥18 years, had locally advanced or metastatic ALK+ NSCLC [FDA-approved FISH test] and had progressed on, or were intolerant to, crizotinib. Patients received oral alectinib 600mg twice daily until disease progression, death or withdrawal. The pooled analysis assessed objective response rate (ORR) by an independent review committee (IRC) using RECIST v1.1 (primary endpoint in both studies); disease control rate (DCR); duration of response (DOR); progression-free survival (PFS); overall survival (OS); and safety.

      Results:
      The pooled dataset included 225 patients, (n=138 NP28673; n=87 NP28761). Median age was 53 years, 60% of patients had baseline CNS metastases and 77% had received prior chemotherapy. The response-evaluable (RE) population by IRC included 189 patients (84%). Median follow-up was 18.8 months (0.6–29.7). In the RE population (n=189) ORR by IRC was 51.3% (95% CI 44.0–58.6; all partial responses), a DCR of 78.8% (95% CI 72.3–84.4), with a median DOR of 14.9 months (95% CI 11.1–20.4) after 58% of events. In patients with prior chemotherapy (n=148), IRC ORR was 49.3% (95% CI 41.0–57.7); DCR: 79.1% (95% CI 71.6–85.3); median DOR: 14.9 months (95% CI 11.0–21.9) after 59% of events. In patients who were chemotherapy-naïve (n=41), IRC ORR was 58.5% (95% CI 42.1–73.7); DCR: 78.0% (95% CI 62.4–89.4); median DOR: 11.2 months (95% CI 8.0–NE) after 54% of events. In the total pooled population (n=225) median PFS by IRC was 8.3 months (95% CI 7.0–11.3) after 69% of events and median OS was 26.0 months (95% CI 21.4–NE) after 43% of events. Grade ≥3 adverse events (AEs) occurred in 40% of patients and the most common were dyspnoea (4%), elevated levels of blood creatine phosphokinase (4%) and alanine aminotransferase (3%). The mean dose intensity was 94.6%. Fourteen patients withdrew due to AEs; 20.9% had AEs leading to dose interruptions/modification.

      Conclusion:
      This pooled analysis confirmed alectinib has robust systemic efficacy with a durable response in this population and in patients with or without prior chemotherapy. Alectinib had an acceptable safety profile.
