This randomized active-controlled multicenter Phase III open-label study will evaluate and compare between treatment groups the efficacy of alectinib versus chemotherapy in participants with ALK-positive advanced NSCLC who were previously treated with chemotherapy and crizotinib, as measured by investigator-assessed progression-free survival (PFS) and to evaluate and compare between treatment groups the central nervous system (CNS) objective response rate (C-ORR) in participants with measurable CNS metastases at baseline, as assessed by an Independent Review Committee (IRC).

Progression-Free Survival (PFS) Using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) Version 1.1 as Assessed by Investigator
PFS was defined as the time from randomization to the first documented disease progression, as determined using RECIST v1.1, or death from any cause, whichever occurred first. As per RECIST v1.1, disease progression is a 20% increase in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, an increase in size of measurable lesions by at least 5 millimeter (mm) and the appearance of new lesions.
Time frame: Randomization to first documented disease progression, death from any cause, or study end (up to 33 months)
Percentage of Participants With CNS Objective Response Rate (ORR) With Measurable CNS Metastases at Baseline Using RECIST Version 1.1 as Assessed By IRC
Overall response rate in subjects with confirmed CNS response (C-ORR) was defined as the percentage of subjects who attained Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) for lesions in the CNS. As per RECIST v1.1, CR: Disappearance of all target lesions and any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have reduction in short axis to \< 10 mm, PR: At least a 30% decrease in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum of diameters.
Time frame: Baseline through study end (up to 33 months)
PFS Using RECIST Version 1.1 as Assessed by IRC
PFS was defined as the time from randomization to the first documented disease progression, as determined using RECIST v1.1, or death from any cause, whichever occurred first. As per RECIST v1.1, disease progression is a 20% increase in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, an increase in size of measurable lesions by at least 5 mm and the appearance of new lesions. This outcome measure was assessed as part of the primary analysis and was not repeated during final analysis.
Time frame: Approximately 15 months (Tumor assessments at baseline, every 6 weeks until progressive disease (PD), death or withdrawal from study prior to PD)
Percentage of Participants With Objective Response of CR or PR Using RECIST Version 1.1 as Assessed by Investigator and IRC

Percentage of Participants With Disease Control Using RECIST Version 1.1 as Assessed by Investigator and IRC

The IRC assessment was part of the primary analysis and was not repeated during final analysis.
Time frame: Approximately 15 months (Tumor assessments at baseline, every 6 weeks until progressive disease (PD), death or withdrawal from study prior to PD)
Duration of Response (DOR) Using RECIST Version 1.1 as Assessed by Investigator and IRC
