Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

-Inclusion criteria for ALK-positive NSCLC patients will be based on prescription data i.e. defines eligible patients as adult patients with at least one filled prescription of ALK-inhibitors identified by the national prescription register. Only prescriptions filled at pharmacies can be captured in prescription registers, as they do not include data on hospital drugs. ALK-inhibitor treatments for patients with NSCLC are given primarily outside of the hospital setting minimizing the selection bias under the inclusion criteria.

Primary outcomes

  1. Overall Survival (OS): Based on Treatment Cohort Groups
