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.}, pages = {309--315}, title = {Alectinib Versus Crizotinib for Previously Untreated Alk-positive Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer : A Meta-Analysis}, volume = {30}, year = {} }
