Summary:

      A phase 3 study to demonstrate whether lorlatinib given as monotherapy is superior to
      crizotinib alone in prolonging the progression-free survival in advanced ALK-positive NSCLC
      patients who are treatment naïve and to compare lorlatinib to crizotinib with respect to
      overall survival in the same population

          -  Spinal cord compression unless good pain control attained

          -  Major surgery within 4 weeks prior to randomization.

          -  Radiation therapy within 2 weeks prior to randomization, including stereotactic or
             partial brain irradiation. Whole brain irradiation within 4 weeks prior to
             randomization

          -  Active bacterial, fungal, or viral infection

          -  Clinically significant cardiovascular disease, active or within 3 months prior to
             enrollment. Ongoing cardiac dysrhythmias, uncontrolled atrial fibrillation,
             bradycardia or congenital long QT syndrome

          -  Predisposing characteristics for acute pancreatitis in the last month prior to
             randomization.

          -  History of extensive, disseminated, bilateral or presence of Grade 3 or 4 interstitial
             fibrosis or interstitial lung disease

          -  Active malignancy (other than NSCLC, non melanoma skin cancer, in situ cervical
             cancer, papillary thyroid cancer, LCIS/DCIS of the breast, or localized prostate
             cancer) within the last 3 years prior to randomization.

          -  Concurrent use of any of the following food or drugs within 12 days prior to the first
             dose of lorlatinib or crizotinib.

               1. known strong CYP3A inhibitors .

               2. known strong CYP3A inducers

               3. known P gp substrates with a narrow therapeutic index

          -  Concurrent use of CYP3A substrates with narrow therapeutic indices within 12 days
             prior to the first dose of lorlatinib or crizotinib.

          -  Other severe acute or chronic medical or psychiatric condition, including recent or
             active suicidal ideation or behavior, or laboratory abnormality that may increase the
             risk associated with study participation or interfere with the interpretation of study
             results

          -  Investigational site staff members directly involved in the conduct of the study and
             their family members, or Pfizer employees, including their family members, directly
             involved in the conduct of the study.

          -  Participation in other studies involving investigational drug(s) within 2 weeks prior
             to study entry and/or during study participation.
