Summary

This study looked at how well the drug lorlatinib works for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has a specific gene change (ALK). All 73 participants had already tried other treatments and their cancer was no longer controlled. The study found that lorlatinib helped shrink tumors and control the cancer for a period of time, but it is not a cure. Common side effects included high cholesterol, high blood sugar, rash, and swelling.
