The trial was randomized and actively controlled, with 189 patients assigned to ceritinib and 187 to chemotherapy, but treatment was open-label rather than double-blind. Its clinical primary endpoint, progression-free survival assessed by an independent review committee, was met: median progression-free survival was 16.6 versus 8.1 months, with hazard ratio 0.55 (95% CI 0.42–0.73; p<0.001).
