About this trial

This project was designed To explore the pathological complete response (pCR) of lorlatinib as neoadjuvant treatment. Twenty-five patients will be involved in this study.

These patients will receive lorlatinib neoadjuvant therapy for 6-8 weeks (determined by clinicians' decision based on clinical practice) and then underwent surgery.

Previous small-sample clinical studies on ALK inhibitors as neoadjuvant therapy in resectable NSCLC have shown promising outcomes including MPR and pCR, supporting the potential of ALK TKIs in this setting.
