Trial Outcomes & Findings for Ceritinib (LDK378) for Patients Whose Tumors Have Aberrations in ALK or ROS1 (SIGNATURE) (NCT NCT02186821)

NCT ID: NCT02186821

Last Updated: 2021-04-08

Results Overview

Solid tumors were assessed using RECIST 1.1 criteria and included responses of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) or stable disease (SD). For hematologic tumors, other hematological response criteria applied. CR=disappearance of all target lesions. Pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have reduction in short axis to \<10mm. PR=at least 30% decrease in sum of diameters of target lesions from baseline sum diameters. SD=neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for progressive disease (PD), taking as reference the smallest sum diameters while on study. Progressive disease (PD)=at least a 20% increase in sum of diameter of measured target lesions from smallest sum of diameter of all target lesions recorded at or after baseline (sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5mm). One or more new lesions was considered PD. Overall response rate (ORR) = (CR + PR). Clinical benefit rate = (CR + PR + SD)

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline up to approximately 16 weeks

Population: ORR and CBR was reported for all patients and for a subgroup of patients with colorectal cancer

Solid tumors were assessed using RECIST 1.1 criteria and included responses of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) or stable disease (SD). For hematologic tumors, other hematological response criteria applied. CR=disappearance of all target lesions. Pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have reduction in short axis to \<10mm. PR=at least 30% decrease in sum of diameters of target lesions from baseline sum diameters. SD=neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for progressive disease (PD), taking as reference the smallest sum diameters while on study. Progressive disease (PD)=at least a 20% increase in sum of diameter of measured target lesions from smallest sum of diameter of all target lesions recorded at or after baseline (sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5mm). One or more new lesions was considered PD. Overall response rate (ORR) = (CR + PR). Clinical benefit rate = (CR + PR + SD)

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline up to approximately 27 months

Population: reported for all patients and for a subgroup of patients with colorectal cancer

Progression-free survival (PFS) was the time from the date of start of study drug to the date of event defined as the first documented progression or death due to any cause within 30 days of the last dose. If a patient has not had an event, progression-free survival was censored at the date of last adequate tumor assessment.
