First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study offers continued access to the drug lorlatinib for people with a specific type of lung cancer (ALK-positive or ROS1-positive non-small cell lung cancer) who are already benefiting from it in earlier Pfizer studies. The main goal is to track long-term safety and side effects. About 76 participants will take the drug and be monitored over time.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Lorlatinib

What this could lead to

If successful, this study will confirm that long-term lorlatinib use is safe and continues to control ALK/ROS1-positive non-small cell lung cancer.

What could go wrong

This is a small, single-arm continuation study, not a new treatment test. It cannot prove lorlatinib works better than other options, and side effects may still occur.
