Abstinence is only acceptable if it is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the subject. Periodic abstinence (e.g., calendar, ovulation, symptothermal or postovulation methods) and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception. Examples of contraceptive methods with a failure rate of \< 1% per year include tubal ligation, male sterilization, hormonal implants, established, proper use of combined oral or injected hormonal contraceptives, and certain intrauterine devices.~ * For men: agreement to remain abstinent or use a contraceptive method that results in a failure rate of \< 1% per year during the treatment period and for at least 3 months after the last dose of study drug. Abstinence is only acceptable if it is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the subject. Periodic abstinence (e.g., calendar, ovulation, symptothermal or postovulation methods) and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception.~ * Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document.~Exclusion Criteria:~* Cytotoxic chemotherapy or immunotherapy within 3 weeks of study entry.~* Oral targeted therapy within 5 half-lives (if known) or 3 weeks (if half-life is unknown) of study entry.~* Phase 1: subjects who have received prior alectinib therapy.~* For enrollment to the phase 1 portion of the trial: Administration of any cytochrome P450 (CYP)3A inhibitors or inducers within 14 days prior to the first dose of alectinib and from Cycle 1 Day 1 - Cycle 2 Day 8 of the phase 1 portion of the trial. Following completion of this period, strong/potent cytochrome P450 (CYP)3A inhibitors or inducers are prohibited while on study. Please see APPENDIX C.~* Radiation therapy (except palliative to relieve bone pain) within 2 weeks of study entry. Palliative radiation (≤10 fractions) must have been completed at least 48 hours prior to study entry. Stereotactic or small field brain irradiation must have completed at least 2 weeks prior to study entry. Whole brain radiation must have completed at least 4 weeks prior to study entry.~* Major surgery within 4 weeks of study entry. Minor surgical procedures (e.g., port insertion) are not excluded, but sufficient time should have passed for wound healing (as determined by the treating investigator).~* Subjects who are receiving any other investigational agents.~* Liver disease characterized by:~  -- ALT or AST \> 3 × institutional ULN (≥ 5 × ULN for subjects with concurrent liver metastasis) confirmed on two consecutive measurements~  --- OR-~* Absolute impaired excretory function (e.g., hyperbilirubinemia) or synthetic function or other conditions of decompensated liver disease such as coagulopathy, hepatic encephalopathy, hypoalbuminemia, ascites, and bleeding from esophageal varices~  --- OR-~* Impaired excretory function (e.g., hyperbilirubinemia) or synthetic function or other conditions of decompensated liver disease such as coagulopathy, hepatic encephalopathy, hypoalbuminemia, ascites, and bleeding from esophageal varices~  ---OR-~* Acute viral or active autoimmune, alcoholic, or other types of acute hepatitis~* Subjects with symptomatic CNS metastases who are neurologically unstable and/or require an increased dose of steroid to manage CNS symptoms within 1 week prior to the first day of treatment are excluded.~  * Subjects with brain or leptomeningeal metastases that do not meet the above criteria are allowed.~ * Symptomatic disease is allowed as long as symptoms are controlled and stable.~* History of hypersensitivity to any of the additives in the alectinib drug formulation.~* Subjects with symptomatic bradycardia.~* Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements.~* Pregnant or breastfeeding women.~* Any GI disorder that may affect absorption of oral medications in the opinion of the treating investigator, such as malabsorption syndrome or major bowel or stomach resection.~* Subjects who are unable to swallow pills.~* Subjects with a history of a second primary malignancy.

Study Arms:
- Phase 1 RP2D of alectinib (Type: EXPERIMENTAL): The investigators are looking for the highest dose of the study drug that can be administered safely without severe or unmanageable side effects in participants that have NSCLC, not everyone who participates in this research study will receive the same dose of the study drug. The dosage will depend on the number of participants who have been enrolled in the study and how well the dosage has been tolerated.~* Alectinib~* Oral, BID~* A 7-day lead-in dosing period will be administered at the start of each dose level. Each treatment cycle will be defined as 28 consecutive days.
- Cohort A (Type: EXPERIMENTAL): Participants with RET-rearranged NSCLC with no previous history of RET-TKI therapy.~* Alectinib~* Oral, BID, participants will receive the RP2D identified during Phase 1.~* Each treatment cycle will be defined as 28 consecutive days.
- Cohort B (Type: EXPERIMENTAL): Participants with RET-rearranged NSCLC with previous history of RET-TKI therapy.~* Alectinib~* Oral, BID, participants will receive the RP2D identified during Phase 1.~* Each treatment cycle will be defined as 28 consecutive days.
