This single-arm, open-label, phase II clinical study aims to evaluate the progression-Free Survival (PFS) of the combination of Alectinib plus Bevacizumab in untreated and first and second-line chemotherapy failed subjects with stage IIIB/IV or recurrent disease after receiving radiation therapy or surgical resection. The main question to be answered is: Whether the combination of Alectinib plus Bevacizumab will improve PFS in untreated and previously treated subjects with advanced or metastatic non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and positive ALK translocation. Participants will be treated with Alectinib and Bevacizumab every three weeks until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or patient withdrawal of consent.
Dose selection The required dose amount for Alectinib is based on a fixed dose of 600 mg, and the dose for Bevacizumab when preparing the solution is based on the subject's weight in kilograms (kg). Dose Modification The administration of Alectinib/Bevacizumab will be stopped in case of Grade 4 hematological toxicities or Grade 3 non-hematological drug-related toxicities, including severe or life-threatening abnormalities. The test treatment should be discontinued if toxicity does not resolve to grade 0-1 within 12 weeks after the last application. With an adverse laboratory event still graded two, after 12 weeks, they can continue treatment at trial only if the reaction is asymptomatic and controlled. Subjects who experience a recurrence of the same severe or life-threatening event to the same or greater degree with a re-challenge of alectinib/bevacizumab should discontinue the trial treatment.

Change From Baseline in Global Quality of Life (QOL), Functional Scales and Symptoms Scales as Assessed by the European Organization for the Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Core 30 (EORTC-QLQ-C30) During Overall Treatment
The EORTC QLQ C30 consists of 30 questions and includes 5 functional scales (physical, role, cognitive, emotional, and social); a global health status/global quality of life scale; 3 symptom scales (fatigue, pain, nausea, and vomiting); and 6 single items that assess additional symptoms (dyspnea, appetite loss, sleep disturbance, constipation, and diarrhea) and financial impact. All scales and single-item measures range in scores from 0 to 100. Higher scores on the functional scales represent higher levels of functioning. Higher scores on the global health status/quality of life scale represent higher health status/quality of life. Higher scores on symptom scales/items represent a greater presence of symptoms.
Time frame: From Baseline up to Cycle 20 (each cycle is 3 weeks) Day 1.
Change From Baseline in Lung Cancer Symptoms as Assessed by the EORTC Quality of Life Questionnaire-Lung Cancer 13 (QLQ- LC13) During Overall Treatment
The EORTC QLQ LC13 consists of 13 questions and includes 1 multi-item scale and 9 single items assessing symptoms (dyspnea, cough, haemoptysis, and site-specific pain), side effects (sore mouth, dysphagia, peripheral neuropathy, and alopecia), and pain medication use. The scale scores rang from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating higher ("worse") level of symptoms.
Time frame: From Baseline up to Cycle 20 (each cycle is 3 weeks) Day 1.
Time to Deterioration (TTD) in Participant Reported Global Quality of Life, or Cough From QLQ-LC13
The EORTC QLQ C30 consists of 30 questions and includes 5 functional scales (physical, role, cognitive, emotional, and social); a global health status/global quality of life scale; Higher scores on the global health status/quality of life scale represent higher health status/quality of life. TTD in pain in global Quality of Life was defined as the time from randomization to the first time the participant's score showed a 10 point or greater increase after baseline in any of the 3 symptoms. TTD in months was calculated as (date of deterioration or censoring - randomization date +1)/30.4375.
Time frame: From Baseline up to Cycle 20 (each cycle is 3 weeks) Day 1.
