What this trial studies

This observational study aims to gather data on the safety and efficacy of crizotinib (Xalkori) in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have not previously been treated with this medication. The study will focus on identifying any unexpected adverse drug reactions and the overall incidence of adverse effects associated with the drug. Additionally, it will explore factors that may influence the drug's safety and effectiveness in this patient population.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are patients with unresectable progressive or recurrent NSCLC who are naive to Xalkori and have a positive ROS1 gene status.

Not a fit: Patients with a history of hypersensitivity to any ingredients of Xalkori will not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide valuable insights into the safety profile of Xalkori, potentially leading to improved treatment strategies for patients with ROS1-positive NSCLC.

How similar studies have performed: While this study is observational and focuses on safety, similar studies evaluating crizotinib have shown promising results in treating ROS1-positive NSCLC.
