Time frame
Screening, treatment phase (Cycles 2, 3 then every 2nd cycle until Month 33; after Month 33, every 9 or 12 weeks, end of treatment); follow-up phase (Every 6 weeks until Month 33; after Month 33 every 9 or 12 weeks) up to approximately 120 months

What was measured

The EORTC QLQ-LC13 complemented the QLQ-C30 and measured disease symptoms and treatment-related adverse effects. The lung cancer module incorporated one multi-item scale to assess dyspnea and 9 single items assessing pain, coughing, sore mouth, dysphagia, peripheral neuropathy, alopecia, and hemoptysis. All of the domain scores ranged from 0 to 100. A high score indicated a high level of symptoms. Time to definitive symptom deterioration for the composite endpoint was defined as the time from the date of randomization to the earliest date when the patient's score showed a 10 point or higher increase from baseline in any of the symptoms (pain, cough or dyspnea) as per EORTC QLQ-LC13 (with no later change below this threshold i.e., \<10 points was observed or if this increase was observed at the last assessment for the patient) or death due to any cause.

Analysis population: The Full Analysis Set (FAS) consisted of all patients to whom study treatment had been assigned by randomization.

Groups in this outcome

Ceritinib

Ceritinib administered continuously through oral dosing at a dosage of 750 mg once daily in fasted state

Chemotherapy

Pemetrexed plus cisplatin or carboplatin (based on Investigator's choice) for 4 cycles (Induction) followed by pemetrexed as single agent (Maintenance)
