Panelists discuss how the 5-year follow-up data from the CROWN trial support lorlatinib as a frontline treatment for ALK-positive non–small cell lung cancer NSCLC with brain metastasis. For frontline therapy, starting at full dose is preferred, adjusting if needed. Post progression, lorlatinib can be continued or combined with other agents. Biomarker testing for ROS1 is essential, with recent data (TRIDENT-1 trial) favoring lorlatinib for ROS1-positive central nervous system (CNS) involvement. Novel agents like taletrectinib and zidesamtinib from TRUST-I/II and ARROS-1 trials show promise in expanding treatment options for ROS1-positive NSCLC.
