Abstract
On April 18, 2024, the Food and Drug Administration approved alectinib as an adjuvant treatment for patients with anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) after tumor resection. This approval was grounded in the outcomes of the ALINA trial, which demonstrated that alectinib significantly enhances disease-free survival compared to traditional platinum-based chemotherapy in the adjuvant setting. The ALINA trial is notable not just for advancing ALK tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) into the adjuvant setting but also for its innovative approach of comparing them to adjuvant chemotherapy, distinguishing it from other landmark trials.
