Summary
This study tests the safety of combining the targeted drug alectinib with chemotherapy in people who have had surgery for a specific type of lung cancer (ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer). The 11 participants received up to four cycles of the drug combo after their tumor was completely removed. The goal is to see if this approach can help control the disease without causing too many side effects.
