For example, the clinical utility for the selection of patients for therapy with alectinib using an early version of the Foundation Medicine liquid biopsy assay has also been demonstrated in a prospective clinical study described in the Blood First Assay Screening Trial (BFAST) [31].

ALK positive - Alectinib or Crizotinib?

If we start on Crizotinib, does this mean that we cannot try Alectinib? I only ask because the NICE guidance seems to indicate that Alectinib can only be used for first line treatment. Thanks in advance for your help! :)

New gen medication

Been on Alectinib since. By the early part of January this year, metastisis was confirmed in my liver. Drug went under review, currently on my first cycle of Lorlatinib. Requesting feedback from anyone out there currently taking this medication? Kind regards.

I've been diagnosed back in April with NSCLC (ALK Positive) currently on Alectinib. I wish to find out from other individuals with a similar condition how they are coping with this treatment. Thank you.

ALK Positive on alectinib intro....

I’ve been on alectinib since Nov 17. Currently responding to treatment - long may it continue. I’m only 49 and have never been ill before. Just ran a 10K for charity yesterday. Hoping to go faster next time!

Rejection of Alectinib 1st line

Alectinib as 1st line treatment!!!! Crazy decision as it crosses the BBB whereas Crixotinib rarely does, has fewer adverse side effects allowing people to continue a completely normal life. This drug is for people who are ALK + and tend to be below the age of 50.

ALK+ NSCLC

I currently am taking Alectinib along with an immunotherapy called Atezolizumab. My tumors have been stable since January of 2016. At my last PET scan in June, the only tumor that is still active is one in my liver. I go for a biopsy next week.
