What this trial studies

This observational study aims to estimate the occurrence of adverse events, including serious adverse events, in adult participants with ALK-positive non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) who are starting treatment with brigatinib for the first time. Conducted in a real-world clinical setting, the study will enroll approximately 257 participants and collect data over a 24-month surveillance period. The data will be gathered from routine and emergency visits and recorded in electronic case report forms to assess the safety and effectiveness of brigatinib under approved indications.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are adults with ALK-positive advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung carcinoma who are initiating brigatinib treatment for the first time.

Not a fit: Patients who have previously been treated with brigatinib outside of the approved indications or those for whom brigatinib is contraindicated will not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide valuable insights into the safety profile of brigatinib, helping to optimize treatment for patients with ALK-positive NSCLC.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown success in monitoring the safety of cancer treatments in real-world settings, making this approach both relevant and valuable.
