NCT ID NCT06862869
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Sep 09, 2026 · Updated 7 times
Summary
This study follows 800 Chinese patients with early-stage ALK-positive non-small-cell lung cancer who took alectinib after surgery to see how long they stay cancer-free. Researchers will collect real-world data on disease-free survival and patient characteristics. The goal is to understand how well alectinib works in everyday clinical practice.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Alectinib
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could confirm that alectinib helps prevent lung cancer from returning after surgery in ALK-positive patients, supporting its use in routine care.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a controlled trial, so results may be influenced by patient differences. It only includes Chinese patients, so findings may not apply globally.
