Popis: The safety and efficacy profiles of alectinib versus crizotinib for patients with previously untreated anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)-positive advanced non-small cell lung cancer still remains to be elucidated. We compared the overall efficacies of alectinib and crizotinib for previously untreated ALK-positive advanced non-small cell lung cancer through a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials. The primary outcome was progression-free survival (PFS). Pooled estimates were calculated as hazard ratios with 95% confidence intervals. Two studies on alectinib met the inclusion criteria for this meta-analysis. The hazard ratio (95% confidence interval) of alectinib for PFS, relative to crizotinib, was 0.41 (0.28-0.60), demonstrating a superior overall efficacy of alectinib over crizotinib, in terms of PFS.
