The ADAPT ALEC randomized controlled trial (RCT) is performed in patients with Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase (ALK) positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The RCT will compare the use of Therapeutic Drug Monitoring (TDM) and dose increases if alectinib 35 ng/Ml (arm A) with standard of care (arm B).
The ADAPT ALEC trial is a phase IV, RCT in patients with ALK positive NSCLC treated with alectinib. A longer median progression free survival (mPFS) is expected in patients treated with standard dose alectinib when minimum plasma concentrations (Cmin) of alectinib exceed 435 ng/mL. The ADAPT ALEC trial will investigate whether using therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) and increasing the dose of alectinib in patients with Cmin \<435 ng/mL, will raise the mPFS. We will compare mPFS in the subgroup of patients with an alectinib Cmin \<435 ng/mL using TDM and dose increases (arm A) to fixed dosing/standard of care (arm B).

In case of an alectinib plasmaconcentration Cmin \<435 ng/mL, determined by TDM, and manageable toxicity, the alectinib dose will be increased with 150mg BID up to a maximum of 900mg BID. In case of unacceptable toxicity (i.e. unbearable or persistent grade 2 toxicity and grade 3/4 toxicity), the alectinib dose can be reduced by 150mg BID.

RECRUITINGMedian progression free survival (mPFS)
PFS is measured from start of treatment to progressive disease, death or lost to follow-up.Patients who did not die or progress, or lost to follow-up, will be censored at their last available date.
Time frame: mPFS will be assessed through study completion, after 12 months of follow-up.
Succesfull Therapeutic Drug monitoring
The percentage of succesfull TDM interventions, in which successful is defines as tartget attainment and manageable toxicity.
Time frame: 4 to 6 weeks after dose adjustment based on TDM
Overall response rate (ORR)
ORR is the percentage of patients with partial response or complete response, according to RECIST v1.1, of the total treated population.
Time frame: Response will be assessed every 2-3 months. ORR will be determined after total study completion and 12 months of follow-up
Median overall survival
mOS is defined as time from randomization to death from any cause in the total population.
Time frame: Through total study completion, after 12 months of follow-up
Intracranial PFS
PFS is measured from start of treatment to progressive disease in the brain, death or lost to follow-up. Patients who did not die or progress, or lost to follow-up, will be censored at their last available date.
Time frame: Progressive disease will be assessed once every 2-3 months. Intracranial PFS will be assessed through total study completion, after 12 months of follow-up
Patient adherence to alectinib treatment
This will be estimated by pill counts of returned medication as well as a patient diary on drug intake.
Time frame: Through study completion, an average of 2 years
Number of adverse events (AE) related to plasma concentration and dose increases
AE's will be defined using CTCAE v5.0. Number of AE's in the subgroups of patients with Cmin \<435 ng/mL compared to Cmin \>= 435 ng/ML, and in patients who did and who did not receive a TDM-guided dose increase.
Time frame: Through total study completion, after 12 months of follow-up
European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer 30-item core quality of life questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30) and the the Quality of Life Questionnaire-Lung Cancer 13 (EORTC QLQ-LC-13) module
Mean change from baseline in EORTC QLQ-C30 and QLQ-LC13 scores
Time frame: Questionnaires will be filled in at baseline and every 3 months thereafter through study completion, an average of 2 years.
European Quality of Life Five Dimensions with five levels (EQ-5D-5L) questionnaire
Mean change from baseline in EQ-5D-5L score
Time frame: Questionnaire will be filled in at baseline and every 3 months thereafter through study completion, an average of 2 years.
Incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER)
The ICER is the final outcome of the comparative cost-effectiveness analysis performed using a health-state transition model to compare costs and effectiveness between both study arms.
Time frame: Through total study completion, after 12 months of follow-up
