Study Type Interventional
Study Design Allocation: Randomized;   Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment;   Masking: None (Open Label);   Primary Purpose: Treatment
Condition Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
Interventions Drug: Ceritinib
Drug: Pemetrexed
Drug: Cisplatin
Drug: Carboplatin
Enrollment 376
Recruitment Details Patients were randomized in a 1:1 ratio to either ceritinib (750 mg once daily fasted) or chemotherapy (platinum-based doublet with pemetrexed followed by pemetrexed maintenance in patients without progressive disease after 4 cycles).
Pre-assignment Details 376 patients completed the screening phase and were randomized to either ceritinib or chemotherapy arm in the treatment phase. 12 patients randomized to the chemotherapy arm were not treated. All patient randomized to ceritinib were treated.
