The ALINA trial1 demonstrated that 2 years of adjuvant alectinib achieved statistically significantly improved 2-year overall and central nervous system (CNS) disease-free survival over platinum-doublet chemotherapy in resected early-stage (IB ≥ 4cm to IIIA) ALK+ non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Identifying early-stage ALK+ NSCLC patients (60% were never-smokers in the ALINA trial) may require low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) lung cancer screening in never-smokers.
