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

Summary

This study looks at how patients with ALK-positive advanced non-small cell lung cancer respond to the drug lorlatinib when used as their first treatment in real-world settings. Researchers will analyze data from 200 patients in a U.S. database to see how long they stay on the drug, any dose changes, and their overall health status. The goal is to understand how well the medicine works outside of strict clinical trial conditions.
