Primary outcomes (1)
- measure
- Progression-Free Survival (PFS) Based on IRR
- timeFrame
- Randomization to objective progression, death or last tumor assessment without progression before any additional anti-cancer therapy (up to 35 months)
- description
- PFS was defined as the time from the date of randomization in study until the date of first documented objective tumor progression (according to RECIST v1.1 as determined by IRR) or death (due to any cause), whichever occurred first. PFS (in months) was calculated as (first event date - randomization date +1)/30.44. Objective progression was defined as a 20 percent (%) increase in the sum of the diameters of target measurable lesions taking as reference the smallest sum on study (this includes the baseline sum if that is the smallest on study), with a minimum absolute increase of 5 millimeter (mm) or clear progression of pre-existing non-target lesions, or the appearance of any new clear lesions.

Inclusion Criteria: * Proven diagnosis of locally advanced not suitable for local treatment, recurrent and metastatic non-squamous cell carcinoma of the lung * Positive for translocation or inversion events involving the ALK gene locus * No prior systemic treatment for locally advanced or metastatic disease; Patients with brain metastases only if treated and neurologically stable with no ongoing requirement for corticosteroids * Evidence of a personally signed and dated informed consent document and willingness and ability to comply with scheduled visits, treatment plans, laboratory tests, and other study procedures including completion of patient reported outcome \[PRO\] measures. * 18 years of age or older with the exception of India which has an upper age limit of 65 years old Exclusion Criteria: * Current treatment on another therapeutic clinical trial. * Prior therapy directly targeting ALK. * Any of the following within the 3 months prior to starting study treatment: myocardial infarction, severe/unstable angina, coronary/peripheral artery bypass graft, congestive heart failure, or cerebrovascular accident including transient ischemic attack. - - Appropriate treatment with anticoagulants is permitted. * Ongoing cardiac dysrhythmias of NCI CTCAE Grade \>=2, uncontrolled atrial fibrillation of any grade, or QTc interval \>470 msec. * Pregnancy or breastfeeding. * Use of drugs or foods that are known potent CYP3A4 inducers/inhibitors Concurrent use of drugs that are CYP3A4 substrates with narrow therapeutic indices. * Known HIV infection * Known interstitial lung disease or interstitial fibrosis * Other severe acute or chronic medical conditions (including severe gastrointestinal conditions such as diarrhea or ulcer) or psychiatric conditions, or laboratory abnormalities that would impart, in the judgment of the investigator and/or sponsor, excess risk associated with study participation or study drug administration, and which would, therefore, make the patient inappropriate for entry into this study
