The findings of the ALEX trial presented by Dr. Pérol at the ELCC (European Lung Cancer Congress) 2018 in Geneva, Switzerland, support the use of alectinib as the new standard of care in the frontline treatment of ALK-positive lung cancer. Alectinib was found to provide longer symptom improvement than crizotinib in ALK-positive non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
