What this trial studies

This observational study aims to assess the clinical outcomes and characteristics of adult patients with resected stage II-IIIB ALK-positive non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who receive Alectinib as adjuvant therapy. Conducted across multiple centers in China, the study will track patients who have undergone complete surgical resection and started Alectinib treatment within 28 days post-surgery. The focus is on understanding the effectiveness and safety of Alectinib in this specific patient population.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are adults with histologically-confirmed stage II-IIIB ALK-positive NSCLC who have undergone complete surgical resection.

Not a fit: Patients who are currently participating in other interventional studies or those who are pregnant, lactating, or breastfeeding may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide valuable insights into the effectiveness of Alectinib as a post-surgical treatment for ALK-positive NSCLC patients, potentially improving patient outcomes.

How similar studies have performed: While this study focuses on a specific patient population and treatment, similar studies evaluating Alectinib in different contexts have shown promising results.
