ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how effective and safe a medication called lorlatinib is for patients who have not yet received treatment for ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The study is taking place in France and aims to gather real-world information about how well this drug works for patients with this specific type of lung cancer.

To participate in the trial, individuals need to be at least 18 years old and have a confirmed diagnosis of locally advanced or metastatic ALK-positive NSCLC. They should also be in reasonably good health, as measured by their performance status, which indicates how well they can perform daily activities. Before starting the treatment, participants will undergo some routine medical scans to assess their condition. Throughout the study, participants can expect to take lorlatinib and attend regular follow-up visits to monitor their progress and any side effects. It's important to note that there are several exclusions, such as having other active cancers or previous treatments for NSCLC that could affect eligibility.
