1. Patient has a histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that is anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) positive as assessed by FDA approved Vysis ALK Break Apart FISH Probe Kit (Abbott Molecular Inc) test and scoring algorithm (including positivity criteria). If documentation of ALK rearrangement is not available, the test to confirm ALK rearrangement must be performed according to the above
criterion, using a new tumor biopsy obtained prior to the first dose of study treatment (LDK378 or chemotherapy) or archival tumor obtained at or since the time of diagnosis prior to study entry. The test will be performed at a Novartis designated central laboratory.
2. Patient has stage IIIB or IV diagnosis and must have received previous treatment with crizotinib and one regimen of platinum doublet, cytotoxic chemotherapy for the treatment of locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC.
3. Patient has at least one measurable lesion as defined by RECIST 1.1. A previously irradiated site lesion may only be counted as a target lesion if there is clear sign of progression since the irradiation
