Lorlatinib, a 3rd-generation ALK inhibitor, significantly prolonged progression-free survival (PFS) vs crizotinib in the CROWN trial in patients with untreated ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We report data from the Asian subgroup of CROWN. In the Asian subgroup, a consistent and clinically meaningful improvement in PFS was observed for lorlatinib vs crizotinib. The efficacy and safety of lorlatinib vs crizotinib in the Asian subgroup of CROWN was consistent with the overall population. READ ARTICLE
