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 LCSS patient scale used a 24-hour recall period and contained nine items: six measuring major symptoms for lung cancer (appetite loss, fatigue, cough, dyspnea, hemoptysis, pain), and three summary items related to total symptom distress, normal activity status, and overall quality of life. The LCSS used a 100mm visual analog scale (VAS) to measure the intensity of patient responses, with zero corresponding to the lowest rating (best status) and 100 representing the highest rating (worst status). Time to definitive 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 LCSS scores related to pain in the chest, cough, or dyspnea (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)
