CompletedPhase 1Results postedLast updated 27 January 2023
What this trial tests
Phase 1 trial testing Midazolam in Carcinoma, Advanced ALK+ or ROS1+Non-Small-Cell Lung, Neoplasm, Advanced ALK+ or ROS1+Solid Tumors in 24 participants. Completed in 29 April 2021.
18 and older, any sex, with Carcinoma, Advanced ALK+ or ROS1+Non-Small-Cell Lung, Neoplasm, Advanced ALK+ or ROS1+Solid Tumors. Patients with the condition only — healthy volunteers not accepted.

Per-arm endpoint measurements with 95% confidence intervals where reported. Source: trial results section.
Part A, AUC∞: Area Under the Plasma Concentration-time Curve From Time 0 to Infinity for MidazolamPrimary· Cycle 1, Days 1 (Midazolam alone) and 21 (Midazolam + Brigatinib): pre-dose and at multiple timepoints (up to 24 hours) post-dose (Cycle length is 28 days)
The statistical analysis was calculated via a mixed-effects analysis of variance (ANOVA) fitting terms for treatment (midazolam with or without brigatinib coadministration).

Adverse events — posted to ClinicalTrials.gov
Time frame: Treatment-emergent adverse events were adverse events (AEs) that started from the first dose of the study drug up to 30 days after the last dose of the study drug (up to Cycle 20 Day 30 ) (Cycle length =28 days).
Reporting threshold: 5%.
Adverse-event reports describe events observed during the trial — not all are caused by the drug.
