What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Percentage of Participants With Confirmed Overall Objective Response (OR) as Per Independent Central Review (ICR) as Assessed by RECIST v1.1
Confirmed OR based on ICR assessment was defined as complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) according to response evaluation criteria in solid tumor (RECIST) version(v)1.1 from date of first dose until documented progressive disease (PD) or start of new anti-cancer therapy without regard to discontinuation from treatment. Both CR and PR must be confirmed by repeat assessments performed no less than 4 weeks after criteria for response are first met. CR: disappearance of all target and non-target lesions. PR: at least 30 % decrease in sum of diameters of target, taking as reference baseline sum diameters. PD: at least 20% increase in sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference smallest sum on study. In addition to relative increase of 20%, sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 millimeter (mm). Appearance of one or more new lesions was also considered sign of progression. For non-target PD: unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions.
Measured: From date of first dose until documented PD or start of new anti-cancer therapy, whichever occurred earlier (maximum treatment exposure up to 42.78 months)

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
The purpose of this clinical trial is to learn whether the study medicine (called lorlatinib) is safe and effective for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer that is caused by an abnormal anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) gene.
This study is seeking participants whose lung cancer has progressed after receiving either alectinib or ceritinib as their first treatment.
Participants will take part in this study for up to approximately 4 years, depending on when the study is completed and how their cancer responds to the study treatment. They will take lorlatinib orally (by mouth) once daily.
Participants will visit the study site about every six weeks to meet with the study team. During these visits, the study team will monitor the safety and effects of lorlatinib.

Key inclusion criteria (10 listed)
- Participants must have evidence of histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of metastatic NSCLC (Stage IV, American Joint Committee on Cancer [AJCC] v7.0) that carries an ALK rearrangement.
- Disease Status Requirements: disease progression after alectinib or ceritinib as first line therapy (the study will limit enrollment of participants with best response of progression or indeterminate on prior alectinib to 8 participants). Participants may have had prior chemotherapy, but only if before starting treatment with alectinib or ceritinib.
- Tumor Requirements: All Participants must have at least one measurable target extracranial lesion according to RECIST v1.1. Participants with asymptomatic CNS metastases (including participants controlled with stable or decreasing steroid use within the last 2 weeks prior to study entry) will be eligible. Participants who have leptomeningeal disease (LM) or carcinomatous meningitis (CM) will be eligible if the LM/CM is visualized on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or if documented baseline cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) positive cytology is available.
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status (PS) 0 or 1.
- Adequate bone marrow functioning, pancreatic function, renal function and liver function
Key exclusion criteria (16 listed)
- Prior ALK TKI treatment or anti-cancer treatment other than first line alectinib or ceritinib.
- Spinal cord compression unless the participant has good pain control attained through therapy, and there is stabilization or recovery of neurological function for the 4 weeks prior to randomization.
- Gastrointestinal abnormalities, including inability to take oral medication; requirement for intravenous alimentation; prior surgical procedures affecting absorption including total gastric resection or lap band; active inflammatory gastrointestinal disease, chronic diarrhea, symptomatic diverticular disease; treatment for active peptic ulcer disease in the past 6 months; malabsorption syndromes.
- Active and clinically significant bacterial, fungal, or viral infection including hepatitis B virus (HBV) or hepatitis C virus (HCV), known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), or acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) related illness.
- Clinically significant vascular (both arterial and venous) and non-vascular cardiac conditions, (active or within 3 months prior to enrollment)
Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening; this overview does not establish that a patient qualifies. Full inclusion and exclusion criteria.

Primary outcome
Percentage of Participants With Confirmed Overall Objective Response (OR) as Per Independent Central Review (ICR) as Assessed by RECIST v1.1
Time frame: From date of first dose until documented PD or start of new anti-cancer therapy, whichever occurred earlier (maximum treatment exposure up to 42.78 months)
Confirmed OR based on ICR assessment was defined as complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) according to response evaluation criteria in solid tumor (RECIST) version(v)1.1 from date of first dose until documented progressive disease (PD) or start of new anti-cancer therapy without regard to discontinuation from treatment. Both CR and PR must be confirmed by repeat assessments performed no less than 4 weeks after criteria for response are first met. CR: disappearance of all target and non-target lesions. PR: at least 30 % decrease in sum of diameters of target, taking as reference baseline sum diameters. PD: at least 20% increase in sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference smallest sum on study. In addition to relative increase of 20%, sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 millimeter (mm). Appearance of one or more new lesions was also considered sign of progression. For non-target PD: unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions.
