Real World Evidence
The information on this website is based on data from adult patients with ALK (anaplastic lymphoma kinase)-positive / ROS 1-positive advanced NSCLC (non small cell lung cancer) treated with XALKORI®(crizotinib), produced in line with the XALKORI®(crizotinib) Summary of Product Characteristics. XALKORI® (crizotinib) Prescribing Information click here. Adverse event reporting information can be found at the bottom of the page.
PROFILE 1014 was a multicentre, randomised, open-label Phase III trial comparing XALKORI® with standard first line chemotherapy in 343 adult (Age 18 or older) patients with previously untreated anaplastic lymphoma kinase-positive (ALK+) advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The trial demonstrated superiority of first line Crizotinib over pemetrexed plus platinum based chemotherapy1.
The study showed a significant improvement in median progression free survival (10.9 months vs 7 months), P<0.001, and a significantly higher objective response rate (74% vs 45%), P<0.001 in the Crizotinib arm1.

† Race was self-reported.1
‡ ECOG was assessed at the time of screening; the score was not reported for one patient in the XALKORI® group. Scores ranged from 0 to 5, with higher scores indicating increased disability.1
The pre-specified number of events of progression or death to detect a 50% improvement in the primary endpoint was estimated to be 229. These were reached and the data cutoff was determined to be November 30, 2013.1
At the time of data cutoff, the median overall survival (OS) had not been reached for either arm. Median duration of follow-up for OS was 17.4 months for XALKORI® and 16.7 months for chemotherapy. Median duration of treatment was 10.9 months (95% CI: 0.4-34.3 months) for XALKORI® and 4.1 months (95% CI: 0.7-6.2 months) for chemotherapy.1
At the time of follow-up, XALKORI® significantly prolonged median PFS in patients with ALK+ advanced NSCLC compared to chemotherapy (10.9 months vs. 7.0 months, respectively). XALKORI® reduced the risk of progression or death by 55% compared to chemotherapy (hazard ratio [HR]: 0.45 [95% confidence interval (CI): 0.35-0.60]; p<0.001).*1

*Median duration of follow-up for OS was 17.4 months for XALKORI(R) and 16.7 months for chemotherapy. Median duration of treatment was 10.9 months (95% CI: 0.4-34.3 months) for XALKORI® and 4.1 months (95% CI: 0.7-6.2 months) for chemotherapy.1
At the time of follow-up, the HR favoured XALKORI® over chemotherapy for most pre-specified subgroups.1

Of 343 patients in the ITT population, 79 (23%) had treated brain metastasis at baseline identified by IRR and 263 (77%) did not.2

---|---|---|---|---|
Yes | XALKORI® (n=39) | 9.0 months | 0.40 (95% CI: 0.23-0.69) | <0.001 |

No | XALKORI® (n=132) | 11.1 months | 0.51 (95% CI: 0.38-0.69) | <0.001 |

XALKORI® was shown to significantly improve median PFS over chemotherapy for patients without and with treated brain metastases at baseline:2
• Brain metastases present at baseline (HR: 0.40 [95% CI: 0.23-0.69]; p<0.001)
• Brain metastases absent at baseline (HR: 0.51 [95% CI: 0.38-0.69]; p<0.001)
At time of follow-up, the XALKORI® arm (n=172) demonstrated a significantly higher objective response rate of 74% compared to a 45% ORR in the chemotherapy arm (p<0.001) (n=171).*1

*Median duration of follow-up for OS was 17.4 months for XALKORI(R) and 16.7 months for chemotherapy. Median duration of treatment was 10.9 months (95% CI: 0.4-34.3 months) for XALKORI® and 4.1 months (95% CI: 0.7-6.2 months) for chemotherapy.1
Furthermore, XALKORI® offered a rapid and durable response compared to chemotherapy:1
• Time to response. 1.4 months (95% CI: 0.6-9.5 months) with XALKORI® vs. 2.8 months (95% CI: 1.2-8.5 months) with chemotherapy*
• Duration of response: 11.3 months (95% CI: 8.1-13.8 months) with XALKORI® vs. 5.3 months (95% CI: 4.1-5.8 months) with chemotherapy†
* The time to tumour response was calculated from the date of randomisation to the date of the first documentation of a partial or complete response as determined by independent radiologic review.1
† The duration of response was calculated from the date of the first documentation of a partial or complete response to the date of RECIST-defined progression or death, with the use of the Kaplan-Meier method.1
XALKORI® significantly improved patients' global quality of life compared to chemotherapy (p<0.001), and was associated with a significantly greater improvement from baseline in physical, social, emotional and role functioning domains (p<0.001).* A change of 10 points or more is considered to be a clinically meaningful change.1
There was also a significantly greater overall reduction from baseline with XALKORI® compared to chemotherapy in symptoms of pain, dyspnoea and insomnia (p<0.001).*1

*As assessed using the QLQ-C30. Patient-reported outcomes were assessed at baseline, on days 7 and 15 of cycle 1, on day 1 of every subsequent cycle, and at the end of treatment. Scores on each scale ranged from 0 to 100. For global quality of life and functioning domains, higher scores indicate better global quality of life or functioning. For symptoms, lower scores indicate reduction in symptoms.1
