The purpose of this study is to see if Ceritinib can target ALK in non-small cell lung cancer and slow down cancer growth and prevent it from spreading.
This is an, open-label, two-cohort protocol designed to evaluate the activity of targeted therapy and SABR in ALK positive lung adenocarcinoma. Cohort A will evaluate the combination in ALK-inhibitor naïve patients. Cohort B will evaluate the combination in patients who have received treatment with one prior ALK inhibitor. Ceritinib will be administered to the patient until disease progression by RECIST 1.1, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, or discontinuation of the trial for any other reason including death. The primary focus of this protocol is identifying response in ALK+ lung cancer patients. Patients with Ventana assay and Vysis FISH probe positive tumors will be treated. Evidence of ALK gene rearrangement will also be considered eligible for the trial. Primary Objective: Cohort A: Superiority of ceritinib + SABR median PFS compared to historical control of 10 months (expected to be 20 months) Endpoint: Cohort A Median PFS defined as time from initiation of ceritinib until disease progression by RECIST 1.1, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, or discontinuation of the trial for any other reason including death. Primary: Cohort B: Superiority of ceritinib + SABR median PFS compared to historical control of 7 months. Endpoint: Cohort B: Median PFS defined as time from initiation of ceritinib until disease progression by RECIST 1.1, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, or discontinuation of the trial for any other reason including death. Secondary: * Report Overall survival Overall survival * Report Time to 2nd SABR Time from start of systemic therapy to first day of second course of SABR * Report Time to 3rd SABR Time from start of therapy to first day of third course of SABR * Report proportion of patients CR/PR/stable disease at 6 and12 months Number of patients with CR/PR/stable disease for 6 and 12 months after initiation Safety: -Demonstrate safety of ceritinib followed by SABR Describe toxicity and adverse events (CTCAE v.4) compared to historical controls.

Patients will receive ceritinib at a dose of 750 mg (150 mg capsules times 5 capsules once a day) for 10 weeks. Patient will stop taking Ceritinib 72 hours before SABR radiation. The patient may start taking Ceritinib again 72 hours after radiation is complete. Patient will continue to take certinib for up to 8 months.
Patients will receive study drug for 10 weeks. They could get 1, 3 ,or 5 treatments on consecutive days with 18 hours between each treatment or every other day (doctor's determination).

Progression Free Survival
Number of days until disease progression or death. Progression is defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.1), as a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or a measurable increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions
Time frame: Baseline until date of first observed disease progression or death, assessed up to 31.7 months.
Overall Survival
Overall survival is the percentage of participants alive at the given time point. OS is defined as the time to death from the start of drug therapy.
Time frame: at 12 months
Time to 2nd Subsequent Stereotactic Ablative Radiation
After the initial SABR to persisting lesions, if new lesions appear or if existing lesions enlarge but are amenable to SABR, patients will remain on study and listed as not having progressed. Time from start of systemic therapy to first day of second course of SABR
Time frame: 18 hours
Time to 3rd Subsequent Stereotactic Ablative Radiation (SABR)
Time from start of therapy to first day of third course of SABR was measured.
Time frame: 3 months
Number of Patients With CR/PR/Stable Disease for 6 Months
Number of patients with CR/PR/stable disease for 6 months was measured by evaluating target lesions. Complete Response (CR): Disappearance of all target lesions, determined by two separate observations conducted not less than 4 weeks apart. There can be no appearance of new lesions. Partial Response (PR): At least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter (LD) of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum LD. There can be no appearance of new lesions. Stable Disease (SD): Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD, taking as reference the smallest sum LD since the treatment started.

Time frame: At 6 months
Number of Patients With CR/PR/Stable Disease for 12 Months
Number of patients with CR/PR/stable disease for 12 months was measured by evaluating target lesions. Complete Response (CR): Disappearance of all target lesions, determined by two separate observations conducted not less than 4 weeks apart. There can be no appearance of new lesions. Partial Response (PR): At least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter (LD) of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum LD. There can be no appearance of new lesions. Stable Disease (SD): Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD, taking as reference the smallest sum LD since the treatment started.
