Real-World check: does lorlatinib work for ALK lung cancer?
NCT ID NCT06487078
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at how effective and safe the drug lorlatinib is for people with a specific type of lung cancer (ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer) who have not had treatment before. Researchers will follow 90 patients in French clinics to see how long they live without the cancer getting worse and track any side effects. The goal is to understand how well the drug works in real-world settings, not just in controlled trials.
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 could confirm that lorlatinib is effective and safe for untreated ALK-positive lung cancer patients in everyday medical practice.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a controlled trial, so results may be less reliable. It is also small (90 patients) and only in France, so findings may not apply to everyone.
This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.

Inclusion Criteria: Participants are eligible to be included in the study only if all the following criteria apply: * Patients (male or female) 18 years of age or older at age inclusion * Patients with histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of locally advanced or metastatic (TNM 8th classification) ALK-positive NSCLC (IHC 3+/FISH positive/transcriptomic method) * Complete radiological evaluation has to be performed before the start of lorlatinib by contrast enhanced CT-scan of thorax and upper abdomen and brain MRI, as per routine care * Patients with ECOG performance status grade 0, 1, or 2 Exclusion Criteria: Participants are excluded from the study if any of the following criteria Apply * Evidence of active malignancy within the last 2 years prior to inclusion (other than NSCLC, non-melanoma skin cancer, cervical in situ cancer, papillary thyroid cancer, lobular carcinoma in situ/ductal carcinoma in situ (LCIS/DCIS) of the breast, or localized prostate cancer). * Patients who have previously received adjuvant ALK TKI therapy (unless metastatic relapse occurs more than one year after completion of adjuvant therapy). * Patients who have previously received systemic NSCLC therapy in metastatic condition. * Patients using any of the following food or drugs within 12 days prior to the first dose of lorlatinib: * known strong CYP3A inhibitors * known strong CYP3A inducers * known P gp substrates with a narrow therapeutic index * Patients with any medical or psychiatric condition, or that may, in the investigator's judgment, increase the risk of study participation or make the participant inappropriate for the study. * Positive pregnancy test for females of childbearing potential. * Breastfeeding and childbearing potential female unwilling/unable to use a highly effective contraception method for the study duration and for at least 35 days after the last dose of lorlatinib * Fertile male patients unwilling/unable to use a highly effective method of contraception for the duration of the study and for at least 97 days after the last dose of lorlatinib. * Patients participating in another clinical study, unless it is an observational (non-interventional) clinical study or during the follow-up period of an interventional study. * Patients deprived of their liberty, under protective custody or guardianship or unable to provide signed consent. * Patients not affiliated to the French social security system. * Patients opposed to the collection of their data. * Patients willing and able to comply with the protocol for the duration of the study including undergoing treatment, scheduled visits and examinations including follow-up. * Patients judged inapt to respond to the questions required for the study due to linguistical, psychological, social, or geographical reasons. * Investigator site staff directly involved in the conduct of the study and their family members, site staff otherwise supervised by the investigator, and sponsor and sponsor delegate employees directly involved in the conduct of the study and their family members.
