| Primary | Incidence Rate of Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) Occurring During First Cycle of Treatment | A DLT is defined as an adverse event or abnormal laboratory value assessed as unrelated to disease, disease progression, inter-current illness, or concomitant therapies that occurs within the first 21 days of treatment with LDK378 and meets a specified defined criteria. A participant with multiple occurrences of DLTs under one treatment is counted only once in the Adverse Event category for that treatment. A participant with multiple DLTs within a primary system organ class is counted only once in the total row. | up to day 21 after the patient's first dose; cycle = within the first 21 days of patient's first dose | |
| Secondary | Summary of Best Overall Response by Overall Response Rate (ORR) Per Investigator Assessment | ORR is the percentage of participants with a best overall response of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR). ORR was assessed per Investigator as per RECIST 1.1 in participants with neuroblastoma and other solid tumors, and by International Working Group (IWG) criteria in patients with lymphoma. Per RECIST 1.1 (for neuroblastoma & other solid tumors): CR: disappearance of all non-nodal target lesions. In addition, any pathological lymph nodes assigned as target lesions must have a reduction in short axis to < 10 mm. PR: at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameter of all target lesion, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters. Per IWG criteria (for patients with lymphoma): CR: normalization of all index nodal lesions or complete disappearance of all index extranodal lesions. PR: at least 50% decrease from baseline in the sum of diameters of all index lesions. | 30 months | |
| Secondary | Duration of Response (DoR) Per Investigator Assessment | DOR is defined as the time from first documented response (PR or CR) to the date of first documented disease progression (PD) or death due to any cause. DOR was assessed per Investigator as per RECIST 1.1 in participants with neuroblastoma and other solid tumors, and by International Working Group (IWG) criteria in patients with lymphoma. Per RECIST 1.1 (for neuroblastoma & other solid tumors): CR: disappearance of all non-nodal target lesions. In addition, any pathological lymph nodes assigned as target lesions must have a reduction in short axis to < 10 mm. PR: at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameter of all target lesion, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters. Per IWG criteria (for patients with lymphoma): CR: normalization of all index nodal lesions or complete disappearance of all index extranodal lesions. PR: at least 50% decrease from baseline in the sum of diameters of all index lesions. | 30 months | |
| Secondary | Progression Free Survival (PFS) Based on Investigator Assessment | PFS is the time from date of randomization/start of treatment to the date of event defined as the first documented progression or death due to any cause. PFS was assessed per Investigator as per RECIST 1.1 in participants with neuroblastoma and other solid tumors, and by International Working Group (IWG) criteria in patients with lymphoma. Per RECIST 1.1 (for neuroblastoma & other solid tumors): CR: disappearance of all non-nodal target lesions. In addition, any pathological lymph nodes assigned as target lesions must have a reduction in short axis to < 10 mm. PR: at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameter of all target lesion, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters. Per IWG criteria (for patients with lymphoma): CR: normalization of all index nodal lesions or complete disappearance of all index extranodal lesions. PR: at least 50% decrease from baseline in the sum of diameters of all index lesions. | 30 months | |
