Primary Outcome(s)

Main Objective: The objective of the study is to compare the efficacy and safety of brigatinib to that of crizotinib in ALK+ locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC patients naive to ALK inhibitors, as evidenced by PFS.

Primary end point(s): Progression-free survival (PFS) as assessed by a blinded Independent Review Committee (bIRC)

Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: At least up to 36 months

Secondary Objective: 1. To compare the efficacy of brigatinib to that of crizotinib, as evidenced by confirmed ORR, time to/duration of response, disease control rate (DCR), and Overall Survival (OS)
2. To compare the efficacy in the CNS of brigatinib to that of crizotinib, as evidenced by intracranial response and intracranial PFS in those patients with intracranial CNS metastases at baseline
3. To assess the safety and tolerability of brigatinib in comparison with crizotinib
4. To determine pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters of brigatinib through population PK modeling
5. To assess patient-reported symptoms and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) with the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Quality of Life Questionnaire (QLQ)-C30 (v3.0) and its lung cancer module, QLQ-LC13 (v3.0) in patients treated with brigatinib compared to those treated with crizotinib

Secondary Outcome(s)

Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 1-8. At least upto 36 months

9. Until 30 days after the last dose of study treatment.

Secondary end point(s): 1. ORR
2. Intracranial ORR
3. Intracranial PFS
4. OS
5. Duration of response
6. Time to response
7. DCR
8. Safety and tolerability
9. Change from baseline scores in global health status/quality of life (QOL) assessed with the EORTC QLQ-C30 (v3.0) , and time-to-deterioration in dyspnea assessed with the EORTC QLQ-LC13 (v3.0)
