Clinical Trial Title
A phase III, open-label, randomized study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of adjuvant alectinib versus adjuvant platinum-based chemotherapy in patients with completely resected stage IB to stage IIIA anaplastic lymphoma kinase-positive NSCLC.Clinical Trial Protocol Description:
This randomized, active-controlled, multi-center, open-label, phase III study is designed to compare the effects, good or bad, of alectinib versus platinum-based chemotherapy for patients with a specific type of lung cancer. Participants in the experimental arm will receive alectinib at 600 mg orally twice daily for 24 months. Participants in the control arm will receive a platinum based chemotherapy regimen for 4 cycles. Following treatment completion, participants will be followed until disease recurrence.

- Are at least 18 yearsof age.

- Have documented ALK-positive disease.
You will be excluded from the study if any of the following criteria apply to you:
