Primary outcome
Objectives of the ALKALINE phase II trial:
Primary objective: to assess the progression-free survival rate at 12 months
(PFSR12) to lorlatinib in ALK positive advanced NSCLC patients, who progressed
on second generation ALK-TKI with the presence of ALK resistance mutations on
blood (liquid biopsies) by Independent Central Review (ICR) assessment per
RECIST v1.1.
Objectives of the optional prospective sub-study:
Primary objective: to assess the time between the emergence of ALK resistance
mutation during response to second generation ALK TKI on blood (liquid
biopsies) and radiological PD by investigator per RECIST v1.1
Secondary outcome
Secondary objectives:
To evaluate:
• Activity as measured by Overall Response Rate (ORR), Central nervous system
response rate (CNS ORR), Duration of the response (DOR), Progression-Free
Survival (PFS), Overall Survival (OS)
• Toxicity of lorlatinib in patients previously treated with 2nd generation ALK
TKI
• Patient reported outcomes (PRO) of global health-related quality of life
(HRQOL), functioning and the impact of lorlatinib on disease/treatment-related
symptoms of lung cancer.
Exploratory objectives:
To describe:
• Prevalence of ALK and other molecular alterations in blood ctDNA in patients
previously treated with 2nd generation ALK TKI, and activity (as measured by
PFSR12, ORR, CNS, ORR, PFS, OS) of lorlatinib in patients previously treated
with 2nd generation ALK TKI
• Concordance between de novo tumour tissue biopsy and blood at the same time
point in patients with available tissue biopsy
• In cohort B and C: to explore the PFS rate at 5 months in cohort B and PFS
rate at 8 months in cohort C and established the corresponding confidence
intervals
Objectives of the optional prospective sub-study:
Secondary objectives:
To assess:
• The time between the emergence of new other non-ALK resistance mutations to
ALK inhibition during response to second generation ALK TKI on blood (liquid
biopsies) and radiological Progressive Disease (PD) by investigator per RECIST
v1.1
• The evolution of complexity of *molecular PD* before PD by RECIST v1.1
• Relevance of liquid biopsy monitoring for clinical outcomes
Background summary
Lung cancer is the first cause of cancer death, being a major health problem
worldwide [1]. Despite all the advances in diagnosis, the majority of the
patients are still diagnosed in advanced stage, for which systemic therapies
represent the main therapeutic strategy [2], basically chemotherapy,
immunotherapy and targeted therapies. Lung cancer is classified according to
the histology subtype, and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) represents
approximately 85% of all lung cancer.
Over the last few years, several molecular driver alterations have been
described in NSCLC patients, such as EGFR mutation and anaplastic lymphoma
kinase (ALK) and ROS1 rearrangement. The development of highly selective
therapies has enlarged the therapeutic arsenal for these populations, including
ALK rearrangements patients.
In 2007, the presence of an oncogenic fusion gene (EML4-ALK) that combines
portions of the echinoderm microtubule-associated protein- like 4 (EML4) gene
and the ALK gene was reported for the first time in NSCLC [3]. This fusion gene
encodes for the cytoplasmic fusion protein EML4-ALK which results, upon
dimerization, in constitutive activation of the kinase domain of ALK.
ALK rearrangements occur in approximately 5% of NSCLC patients, defining one
specific molecular populations, more frequently observed in young and
non-smoking patients with adenocarcinoma as histology [4].
Study objective
To assess the progression-free survival rate at 12 months (PFSR12) to
lorlatinib in ALK positive advanced NSCLC patients, who progressed on second
generation ALK-TKI with the presence of ALK resistance mutations on blood
(liquid biopsies) by Independent Central Review (ICR) assessment per RECIST
v1.1.
Study design
This is a phase II, multicentre, single-arm, study in advanced ALK positive
NSCLC patients, who progressed on alectinib, ceritinib or brigatinib, to
evaluate the activity (PFS) of lorlatinib according to the presence of ALK
resistance mutations in blood.
Eligible patients will receive lorlatinib until disease progression,
unacceptable toxicity, or occurrence of any withdrawal criterion (as specified
in section 6.2), whichever comes first.
Disease evaluation will be performed every 8 weeks, independent of delayed or
interrupted treatment, since the day 1 of cycle 1 until week 40, and then will
continue every 12 weeks until progression or start of a new anti-cancer
treatment.
Intervention
Eligible patients will receive lorlatinib administered orally at the daily dose
of 100 mg (four tablets of 25 mg).
Study burden and risks
The treatment with lorlatinib is standard of care, all controls are according
to routine daily care. The QoL questionnaires and additional blood samples
drawn together with routine blood samples are the only extra investigations
performed for the patient

Inclusion criteria
• Age >=18 years old
• Histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of NSCLC with ALK
rearrangement, assessed by FISH assay (Abbott Molecular Inc) or by
Immunohistochemistry (IHC) (Ventana Inc) approved by FDA. Liquid biopsy is an
acceptable method for the diagnosis of ALK rearrangement in case there is no
leftover biopsy/cytological specimen.
• Stage III (not eligible for local therapy) or stage IV (according to UICC TNM
staging v8.0)

2nd-generation ALK TKI (including but not limited ceritinib, alectinib,
brigatinib) should be the latest therapy.
• Progressive disease during treatment with 2nd-generation ALK inhibitor prior
to the administration of lorlatinib
• Measurable disease according to RECIST version 1.1 by computed tomography
