NCT ID NCT05987956

First seen Apr 06, 2026 · Last updated Jun 14, 2026 · Updated 10 times

Summary

This study looks at how small genetic differences (called SNPs) in lung cancer patients might influence how well the drug alectinib works and what side effects it causes. Researchers will analyze DNA from 600 people with ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer who have been taking alectinib for at least 90 days. The goal is to understand why some patients respond better or have fewer side effects, which could help tailor treatment in the future.
