|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
• To evaluate the efficacy of alectinib in all enrolled patients receiving alectinib at the pediatric RP2D, in CNS patients and in solid patients. • To evaluate the safety of single-agent alectinib on growth and development • To evaluate potential relationships between drug exposure and the efficacy and safety of alectinib |
