Trial Design

1Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Patients with ALK+ NSCLC and brain metastasesExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Including patients with brain metastases from ALK (anaplastic lymphoma kinase) positive NSCLC (non-small cell lung cancer), who are either neurologically asymptomatic or who have only mild neurologic symptoms (RTOG [Radiation therapy Oncology Group] acute neurologic morbidity score 0-2) from their brain metastases, who are TKI (tyrosine kinase inhibitor) naïve or who have had prior exposure to crizotinib, but who are naïve to brigatinib and other ALK TKIs including alectinib, lorlatinib, and ceritinib.
