Ceritinib Plus Docetaxel in ALK-Negative, EGFR WT Advanced NSCLC

In this phase I/IB clinical trial, participants with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have progressed on prior platinum-based chemotherapy (maximum number of prior distinct regimens = 2) and are anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)-negative/epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) wild-type (WT) will receive a combination of ceritinib and docetaxel. Study rationale is that targeting ALK- and EGFR-negative lung tumors with ceritinib and microtubule inhibitors results in synergistic antitumor effects. Therefore, treatment with ceritinib and docetaxel is a rational combination.
