Details and patient eligibility

About

Phase 1/2, dose escalation and expansion study designed to evaluate the safety and tolerability of NVL-655, determine the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D), and evaluate the antitumor activity in patients with advanced ALK- positive (ALK+) NSCLC and other solid tumors.

Phase 1 will evaluate the overall safety and tolerability of NVL-655 and will determine the RP2D and, if applicable, the MTD of NVL-655 in patients with advanced ALK+ solid tumors.

Phase 2 will determine the objective response rate (ORR) as assessed by Blinded Independent Central Review (BICR) of NVL-655 at the RP2D. Secondary objectives will include the duration of response (DOR), time to response (TTR), progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and clinical benefit rate (CBR) of NVL-655 in patients with advanced ALK-positive NSCLC and other solid tumors.

Full description

In Phase 2, study patients will be enrolled into 6 distinct cohorts:

• Cohort 2a: Patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC harboring an ALK rearrangement who have received 1 prior 2nd-generation ALK TKI (ceritinib, alectinib, or brigatinib). Up to 2 prior lines of chemotherapy and/or immunotherapy are allowed.
• Cohort 2b: Patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC harboring an ALK rearrangement, who have received 2-3 prior ALK TKIs (crizotinib, ceritinib, alectinib, brigatinib, or lorlatinib). Up to 2 prior lines of chemotherapy and/or immunotherapy are allowed.
• Cohort 2c: Patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC harboring an ALK rearrangement, who have received lorlatinib as the only prior ALK TKI therapy. Up to one prior line of chemotherapy and/or immunotherapy received prior to lorlatinib is allowed.
• Cohort 2d: Patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC harboring an ALK rearrangement, who are naïve to ALK TKI therapy. Up to one prior line of chemotherapy and/or immunotherapy is allowed.
• Cohort 2e: Patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC harboring an ALK rearrangement, not eligible for other Phase 2 cohorts.
• Cohort 2f: Patients with other solid tumors harboring an ALK rearrangement or activating ALK mutation, who have received ≥1 prior systemic anticancer therapy, or for whom no satisfactory standard therapy exists.
