    Journal Article

    In an interim analysis of a trial involving 296 patients with ALK -positive non–small-cell lung cancer, lorlatinib, an anaplastic lymphoma kinase inhibitor, was superior to crizotinib in response (in 76% vs. 58%), 12-month progression-free survival (78% vs. 39%), and intracranial disease response (82% vs. 23%). Altered lipid levels were the major toxic effect associated with lorlatinib.
