Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older with untreated, histologically confirmed ALK-positive NSCLC.

Probably not a fit

Patients with active malignancies other than specified low-risk cancers or those with poor ECOG performance status may not benefit from this study.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study evaluates the effectiveness and safety of Lorlatinib in patients with untreated ALK-positive non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) in a real-world setting in France. Participants must be adults with a confirmed diagnosis of locally advanced or metastatic ALK-positive NSCLC and an ECOG performance status of 0, 1, or 2. The study involves a complete radiological evaluation before treatment initiation to ensure proper patient selection. The findings aim to provide insights into the drug's performance outside of controlled clinical trial environments.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide valuable information on the effectiveness of Lorlatinib, potentially leading to improved treatment options for patients with ALK-positive NSCLC.

How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promising results with Lorlatinib in similar patient populations, indicating a potential for success in this approach.

* Patients with histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of locally advanced or metastatic (TNM 8th classification) ALK-positive NSCLC (IHC 3+/FISH positive/transcriptomic method)
* Complete radiological evaluation has to be performed before the start of lorlatinib by contrast enhanced CT-scan of thorax and upper abdomen and brain MRI, as per routine care
* Patients with ECOG performance status grade 0, 1, or 2

Exclusion Criteria: Participants are excluded from the study if any of the following criteria Apply

* Evidence of active malignancy within the last 2 years prior to inclusion (other than NSCLC, non-melanoma skin cancer, cervical in situ cancer, papillary thyroid cancer, lobular carcinoma in situ/ductal carcinoma in situ (LCIS/DCIS) of the breast, or localized prostate cancer).
* Patients who have previously received adjuvant ALK TKI therapy (unless metastatic relapse occurs more than one year after completion of adjuvant therapy).
* Patients who have previously received systemic NSCLC therapy in metastatic condition.
* Patients using any of the following food or drugs within 12 days prior to the first dose of lorlatinib:

  * known strong CYP3A inhibitors
  * known strong CYP3A inducers
  * known P gp substrates with a narrow therapeutic index
* Patients with any medical or psychiatric condition, or that may, in the investigator's judgment, increase the risk of study participation or make the participant inappropriate for the study.
* Positive pregnancy test for females of childbearing potential.
* Breastfeeding and childbearing potential female unwilling/unable to use a highly effective contraception method for the study duration and for at least 35 days after the last dose of lorlatinib
* Fertile male patients unwilling/unable to use a highly effective method of contraception for the duration of the study and for at least 97 days after the last dose of lorlatinib.
* Patients participating in another clinical study, unless it is an observational (non-interventional) clinical study or during the follow-up period of an interventional study.
* Patients deprived of their liberty, under protective custody or guardianship or unable to provide signed consent.
* Patients not affiliated to the French social security system.
* Patients opposed to the collection of their data.
* Patients willing and able to comply with the protocol for the duration of the study including undergoing treatment, scheduled visits and examinations including follow-up.
* Patients judged inapt to respond to the questions required for the study due to linguistical, psychological, social, or geographical reasons.
