If a hormonal method of contraception is unavoidable, then a condom must be used in combination with the hormonal method. • Male patients with female partners of childbearing potential must use effective contraception, including a condom, and male patients with pregnant partners must use condoms, during the study treatment period and for at least 14 weeks after the last dose of lorlatinib. • Female subjects who are breast feeding should discontinue nursing prior to the first dose of study treatment and until 7 days after the last dose of lorlatinib • Patient is willing and able to comply with the protocol for the duration of the study including undergoing treatment and scheduled visits and examinations including follow up • Before patient registration, written informed consent must be given according to ICH/GCP, and national/local regulations
Patient selection criteria for the optional prospective sub-study: In the optional prospective sub-study, the patient could be enrolled during the ongoing response to second-generation ALK inhibitor if the following conditions are fulfilled: • Age ≥ 18 years old • The patient has received at least 6 months of second generation ALK-TKI therapy (if crizotinib-pretreated) OR • The patient has received at least 12 months of second generation ALK-TKI therapy (if crizotinib-naïve) • Patient is willing and able to comply with the sub-study requirements including scheduled visits and examinations • Before patient registration, written informed consent must be given according to ICH/GCP, and national/local regulations. If the patient enrolled in the prospective sub-study presents a PD by RECIST V1.1 while the recruitment in ALKALINE study is still ongoing and all the inclusion/exclusion criteria for the participation in the ALKALINE study are fulfilled, then the patient can be enrolled in the ALKALINE phase II study. |
