About this trial

This study aims to evaluate the activity and safety of the combination of platinum-pemetrexed based chemotherapy plus Lorlatinib in ALK positive Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) with exclusively extracranial disease progression on Lorlatinib. Platinum-pemetrexed based chemotherapy plus Lorlatinib will be administered for an induction phase of four cycles. Subsequently, patients with response or stability of disease at radiological assessment will start the maintenance phase with pemetrexed-Lorlatinib in 21-day cycles until progression, unacceptable toxicity, death, or withdrawal of consent.
