US population-level model of clinical impact of lorlatinib treatment on ALK+ metastatic non-small cell lung cancer outcomes
Aim: Lorlatinib and alectinib are next-generation anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) approved for the treatment of ALK-positive (ALK+) advanced/metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) after demonstrating superior efficacy over crizotinib (first-generation ALK TKI) in the CROWN and ALEX trials, respectively. This analysis estimated the US population-level clinical impact of first-line (1L) lorlatinib versus alectinib treatment for ALK+ advanced/metastatic NSCLC. Materials & meth …
