Inclusion criteria
. Diagnosis:
. Study Population: Patients with histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of locally advanced \[(Stage IIIB/C not amenable for multimodality treatment) or metastatic (Stage IV) by American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) v 7.0\] ALK-positive NSCLC where ALK status is determined by the Ventana ALK (D5F3) Companion Diagnostic (CDx) IHC test performed on the Ventana ULTRA or XT Platforms, FISH, PCR, or next generation sequencing (NGS), or circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA).
. Tumor Requirements: At least 1 extracranial measurable target lesion per RECIST v. 1.1 that has not been previously irradiated. CNS metastases are allowed if asymptomatic and:
. Either untreated and not currently requiring corticosteroid treatment, or on a stable or decreasing dose of ≤10 mg QD prednisone or equivalent; or
. Local treatment has been completed with full recovery from the acute effects of radiation therapy or surgery prior to randomization, and if corticosteroid treatment for these metastases has been withdrawn for at least 4 weeks with neurological stability; or
. In case of leptomeningeal disease (LMD) or carcinomatous meningitis (CM) if visualized on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or if baseline CSF positive cytology is available.
. Tissue Requirements: All patients must have an archival formalin fixed, paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissue specimen available and collected prior to randomization. If archived tissue is unavailable, then a mandatory de novo biopsy must be performed.
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
What they're measuring
1
PFS
Timeframe: From date of first dosing to first documented progression or death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 3 years.
2
Resistance mechanism of lorlatinib
Timeframe: From date of first dosing to first documented progression or death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 3 years.
. No prior systemic NSCLC treatment for advanced (Stage IIIB/C not amenable for multimodality treatment) or metastatic (Stage IV) disease, including molecularly targeted agents (e.g., ALK TKIs), angiogenesis inhibitors, immunotherapy, or chemotherapy. Prior treatment for earlier Stages of the NSCLC only allowed if completed more than 12 months prior to randomization.
Exclusion criteria
. Spinal cord compression unless the patient has good pain control attained through therapy, and there is stabilization or recovery of neurological function for the 4 weeks prior to randomization.
. Major surgery within 4 weeks prior to randomization. Minor surgical procedures (e.g., port insertion) are not excluded, but sufficient time should have passed for adequate wound healing.
. Radiation therapy within 2 weeks prior to randomization, including stereotactic or partial brain irradiation. Patients who complete whole brain irradiation within 4 weeks prior to randomization or palliative radiation therapy outside of the CNS within 48 hours prior to randomization will also not be included in the study.
. Gastrointestinal abnormalities, including inability to take oral medication; requirement for intravenous alimentation; prior surgical procedures affecting absorption including total gastric resection or lap band; active inflammatory gastrointestinal disease, chronic diarrhea, symptomatic diverticular disease; treatment for active peptic ulcer disease in the past 6 months; malabsorption syndromes.
. Known prior or suspected severe hypersensitivity to study drugs or any component in their formulations.
. Active and clinically significant bacterial, fungal, or viral infection including hepatitis B virus (HBV) or hepatitis C virus (HCV) (e.g., in case of known HBsAg or HCV antibody positivity), known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), or acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)-related illness.
. Clinically significant vascular (both arterial and venous) and non-vascular cardiac conditions, (active or within 3 months prior to enrollment), which may include, but are not limited to:
. Arterial disease such as cerebral vascular accident/stroke (including Transient Ischemic Attack -TIA), myocardial infarction, unstable angina;
