Abstract
- Data from a phase I study indicate that the investigational ALK inhibitor lorlatinib is active in patients with ALK- or ROS1-positive non-small cell lung cancer, including those with brain metastases. Objective responses were seen among patients with known ALK resistance mutations who had relapsed following treatment with other tyrosine kinase inhibitors.<br /> (©2016 American Association for Cancer Research.)
