ObjectivesTo systematically evaluate the effects of second-generation ALK-inhibitors: Ceritinib and Alectinib on ALK+ NSCLC patients.MethodsPubMed, EMbase, The Cochrane Library, WanFang Data, ClinicalTrials.gov and VIP databases were systematically searched for clinical trials containing treatment of two principal second-generation ALK-inhibitors for ALK (+) NSCLC patients from inception to December 31st, 2017. Two reviewers independently screened the literature, extracted data, and assessed the risk of bias included in the studies. Stata 12.0 software was used for meta-analysis.ResultsEleven studies were included. Meta-analysis showed that the ORR of all was 57% (95%CI 0.48 to 0.66, P<0.001). The ORR of patients with Crizotinib-resistance was 51% (95%CI 0.44 to 0.57,P<0.001). The IDCR of patients who had brain metastases was 78% (95%CI 0.71 to 0.86,P<0.001).ConclusionsThe second-generation ALK-inhibitors has effect on ALK (+) NSCLC. Due to limitation of the included studies, more larger sample studies are required to verify above conclusions.
