Trial Summary

What is the purpose of this trial?This trial investigates how genetic differences in patients with non-small cell lung cancer affect their response to ALECENSA treatment. By studying these genetic variations, researchers aim to improve the effectiveness and safety of the medication.

Eligibility Criteria

Adults over 22 with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who can undergo a lung tissue biopsy and have not used other anti-cancer therapies. They must be in good health otherwise, able to sign consent, and not pregnant or breastfeeding. Those with serious allergies, bleeding tendencies, multiple cancers, or severe illnesses cannot join.

Inclusion Criteria

My organs are working well.
I am physically active and can care for myself.

Exclusion Criteria

I have had a surgery to remove one of my lungs.
Treatment with other anti-cancer therapies and cannot be stopped currently
Pregnancy

Participant Groups

The study is looking at how genetic differences affect the way Alectinib works for NSCLC treatment. It involves precise gene sequencing to understand this relationship better and will compare usual Alectinib use against a study-specific approach.
