Conclusion: Pivotal trials for ALK inhibitors share many similarities, making an<br />

indirect comparison possible. Naive comparison suggests brigatinib may have<br />

a favorable efficacy profile compared with currently available therapies, while<br />

ceritinib may require dose reduction more frequently to manage AEs. Further<br />

analyses are needed to determine the magnitude and direction of potential<br />

bias.<br />

Keywords: brigatinib, Ceritinib, non–Small-Cell Lung Cancer, Alectinib<br />

Background: Previous retrospective studies suggested that lung cancer<br />

patients with anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) gene rearrangements are<br />

associated with sensitivity to pemetrexed chemotherapy. To determine the<br />

efficacy of pemetrexed based chemotherapy compared with non-pemetrexed<br />

based chemotherapy, we retrospectively evaluated clinical outcome in<br />

ALK positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. Methods: We<br />

identified 126 patients with advanced, ALK-positive NSCLC who received 1st<br />

line cytotoxic chemotherapy from Seoul National University Hospital and<br />

Seoul National University Bundang Hospital. We compared response rate,<br />

progression-free survival, and overall survival according to chemotherapy<br />

regimens. We also analyzed the intra-cranial time to progression and<br />

proportion of ALK-positive cells as a predictive factor of pemetrexed efficacy.<br />

Results: Forty eight patients received pemetrexed based chemotherapy and<br />

Seventy eight patients received non-pemetrexed based chemotherapy as first<br />

line systemic treatment. One hundred eighteen patients received platinum<br />

double combination chemotherapy. The pemetrexed based chemotherapy<br />

group shows superior overall response rate (44.7% versus 14.3%, p
