Treatment with lorlatinib might be effective regardless of the presence of central nervous system metastases, according to Misako Nagasaka, MD, PhD.
Most central nervous system events with lorlatinib were grade 1 or 2 in the phase 3 CROWN trial.
Treatment with lorlatinib did not increase cardiovascular events among patients with ALK-positive non–small cell lung cancer in the CROWN trial.
At 5 years, 60% of patients who received lorlatinib in the phase 3 CROWN study achieved progression-free survival.
