      Background:
      In phase 1 ASCEND-1 study (NCT01283516), ceritinib 750 mg/day (fasted) demonstrated durable whole-body and intracranial responses in both anaplastic lymphoma kinase inhibitor (ALKi)-naïve and ALKi-pretreated patients with ALK-rearranged non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Here, we report the efficacy and safety of ceritinib in patients who were pretreated with crizotinib only from the ASCEND-1 study.

      Method:
      Patients with ALK+ NSCLC who were enrolled globally received ceritinib 750 mg/day (fasted). Efficacy and safety were evaluated in a subset of patients who had received prior crizotinib only (no other prior antineoplastic therapy). Data cut-off was May 03, 2016.

      Result:
      Overall, 246 patients with ALK+ NSCLC (83 ALKi-naïve and 163 ALKi-pretreated) received ≥1 dose of ceritinib, of whom, 26 had received prior crizotinib only. Among the 26 crizotinib-pretreated patients, 11 (42.3%) had baseline brain metastases, of which, 7 received prior radiotherapy, 6 (23.1%) had an ECOG performance status of 0, and 24 (92.3%) patients had stage IV disease. The median time from initial diagnosis to ceritinib initiation was 10.5 months (range, 2.4-33.0). At data cut-off, the median duration of exposure (range) was 41.0 weeks (2.9-180.4). In the 26 crizotinib-pretreated patients, per investigator assessment, the overall response rate was 65.4% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 44.3, 82.8), and the disease control rate was 80.8% (95% CI: 60.6, 93.4) (Table). The most frequently reported grade 3/4 adverse events (AEs), regardless of study drug relationship, were ALT increased (30.8%), AST increased (15.4%), diarrhea (11.5%), nausea (7.7%), fatigue (7.7%), and blood alkaline phosphatase increased (7.7%). All 26 patients discontinued treatment due to disease progression (n=12), consent withdrawal (n=6), AEs (n=2), administrative problems (n=4), or death (n=2).

      Conclusion:
      Ceritinib demonstrated durable efficacy in crizotinib-pretreated patients with ALK-rearranged NSCLC. Safety was consistent with the overall ASCEND-1 study population.
