Second- and third-generation ALKi, including alectinib, brigatinib, ensartinib, envonalkib, and lorlatinib, have shown better efficacy than crizotinib. In this indirect comparison using reconstructed patient data, lorlatinib emerged as the most effective ALKi, showed the most favorable HR for PFS compared to the other ALKi, although it did not reach statistical significance versus alectinib and ensartinib. Additionally, lorlatinib showed the highest efficacy in the control of CNS progression.
Eight studies, involving 1,477 Asian patients and seven treatments (crizotinib, alectinib, brigatinib, ensartinib, envonalkib, iruplinalkib, and lorlatinib), were included in the NMA. Next-generation ALK inhibitors had better efficacy than crizotinib in the treatment of Asian patients with ALK inhibitor-naïve advanced ALK-positive NSCLC. Iruplinalkib may have more favorable PFS benefit than other ALK inhibitors for Asians.

Grade ≥3 treatment-related adverse events were observed in 55.73% and 42.86% of participants in the envonalkib and crizotinib groups, respectively. Envonalkib significantly improved PFS and delayed brain metastasis progression in advanced ALK-positive NSCLC.
Conclusions Compared with Cri, Env significantly prolonged PFS in advanced ALK-positive NSCLC pts who had not received a prior ALK inhibitor, and showed greater advantages in controlling BMs. The safety profiles following Env treatment were manageable.
