Design

Study BO42777 is a Phase I-III, global, multicenter, multicohort study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of multiple therapies in patients with locally advanced, unresectable, Stage III NSCLC with eligible biomarker status. This population is based on the Version 8 of the American Joint Committee on Cancer/Union for International Cancer Control (AJCC/UICC) NSCLC staging system Patients with tumors harboring a cohort-eligible biomarker identified through one of the methods specified as follows will be screened for enrollment in the applicable cohort of this study

Intervention

Cohort A1: The ALK-positive cohort will be evaluated using an open-label, two-arm, randomized study design in patients with ALK-positive (defined as an ALK rearrangement) locally advanced, unresectable, Stage III NSCLC, who have received prior SOC cCRT or sCRT, and have not had radiographic disease progression. Eligible patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either alectinib 600 mg orally (PO) BID with food in repeated 28-day cycles or 1500 mg durvalumab Q4W (administered by IV infusion on Day 1 of each 28-day cycle).

  • Staging should be based on Version 8 of the American Joint Committee on Cancer/Union for International Cancer Control NSCLC staging system (Amin et al. 2017).

  • Patients with tumors of mixed NSCLC histology must be classified as having tumors that are of non-squamous or squamous histology on the basis of the major histologic component.
