Inclusion Criteria

Patients must meet all of the following inclusion criteria to be eligible for
enrollment into the trial:
1. Histologically or cytologically proven diagnosis of NSCLC that is locally advanced or metastatic.
2. Positive for translocation or inversion events involving the ALK gene locus (eg, resulting in EML4-ALK fusion) as determined by an ALK break apart FISH assay and defined by an increase in the distance of 5' and 3' ALK probes or the loss of the 5' probe. Once Amendment #10 is approved at an individual site's IRB/IEC, positive ALK results from other methods such as Immunohistochemistry (IHC) or Reverse Transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PC) testing may also be acceptable after discussion and approval by the Sponsor.
3. Meets one of the following criteria:
Randomized to Arm B (pemetrexed or docetaxel) of Study A8081007 and was discontinued from treatment due to RECIST version 1.1-defined progression of disease as determined by independent radiology review.
Once the primary endpoint of Study A8081007 has been analyzed and the results made available, patients randomized to Arm B of Study A8081007 will be offered treatment with PF-02341066 and allowed to enroll in Study A8081005 without RECIST version 1.1-defined progression of disease as determined by independent radiology review.
However, upon IRB/IEC approval of Amendment 14, patients will not be allowed to cross over from the chemotherapy arm of Study A8081007 without RECIST version 1.1-defined progression of disease by independent radiology review.
Ineligibility for A8081007 due to (1) prior treatment for advanced
disease with more than one chemotherapy regimen, (2) prior treatment with only one chemotherapy regimen for advanced disease and that regimen was not platinum-based, (3) prior treatment with pemetrexed as part of their platinum-based chemotherapy and did not meet the docetaxel eligibility requirements from Protocol A8081007, (4) treated
with docetaxel as part of their platinum-based prior chemotherapy but have NSCLC that is predominantly squamous cell carcinoma and thus, not eligible to be dosed with pemetrexed, or (5) ECOG performance status 3 or the laboratory or RECIST eligibility criteria (but must meet all eligibility criteria of this protocol).
Once A8081007 enrollment is closed, patients with only one previous treatment including single agent EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor, such as erlotinib or gefitinib, for locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC can be enrolled.

4. Patients with brain metastases are eligible if asymptomatic or if
treated must be neurologically stable for at least 2 weeks and are not taking any medications contraindicated in Exclusion Criteria #11-13.
5. Any prior treatment (chemotherapy, radiation [except for palliative] or surgery)must have been completed at least 2 weeks prior to initiation of study medication.
Palliative radiation (= 10 fractions) must have been completed 48 hours prior to the start of study treatment. Any acute toxicity must have been recovered to = Grade 1 (except alopecia).
6. Tumors must have measurable disease as per RECIST (version 1.1); see Appendix 6. Once Amendment #10 is approved by an individual's IRB/IEC, this criterion will no longer be required.
7. Female or male, 18 years of age or older (for patients enrolled in
Japan: consent from a legally acceptable representative is required for all patients who are under 20 years old).
8. ECOG performance status 0-3.
9. Adequate organ function as defined by the fol

Exclusion Criteria

1. Eligibility for Protocol A8081007 until enrollment is closed.
2. No prior systemic treatment, chemotherapy or EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor for advanced NSCLC.
3. Current treatment on another therapeutic clinical trial.
4. Prior therapy specifically directed against ALK.
5. Spinal cord compression unless treated with the patient attaining good pain control and stable or recovered neurologic function, carcinomatous meningitis, or leptomeningeal disease.
6. Any of the following within the 3 months prior to starting study
treatment: myocardial infarction, severe/unstable angina,
coronary/peripheral artery bypass graft, congestive heart failure, or
cerebrovascular accident including transient ischemic attack.
7. Ongoing cardiac dysrhythmias of NCI CTCAE Grade =2, uncontrolled atrial fibrillation of any grade, or QTc interval >470 msec.
8. Previous treatment with PF-02341066.
9. [Deleted per Amendment #7].
10. Pregnancy or breastfeeding.
11. Use of drugs or foods that are known potent CYP3A4 inhibitors, including but not limited to atazanavir, clarithromycin, indinavir, itraconazole, ketoconazole, nefazodone, nelfinavir, ritonavir, saquinavir, telithromycin, troleandomycin, voriconazole, and grapefruit or grapefruit juice.
12. Use of drugs that are known potent CYP3A4 inducers, including but not limited to carbamazepine, phenobarbital, phenytoin, rifabutin,, rifampin, and St. John's wort.
13. Use of drugs that are CYP3A4 substrates with narrow therapeutic indices, including but not limited to dihydroergotamine, ergotamine, pimozide, astemizole*, cisapride*, and terfenadine* (* withdrawn fromU.S. market).
14. Prior malignancy (other than current NSCLC): patients will not be eligible if they have evidence of active malignancy (other than nonmelanoma skin cancer or localized cervical cancer, or localized and presumed cured prostate cancer) within the last 3 years.
15. For Japan only: patients who have following complications or
symptoms:
• Serious wound such as chronic wound, or Grade =3 gastrointestinal ulcer.
• Serious gastrointestinal symptoms such as Grade =3 diarrhea.
16. Other severe acute or chronic medical or psychiatric conditions, or laboratory abnormalities that would impart, in the judgment of the investigator and/or sponsor, excess risk associated with study participation or study drug administration, and which would, therefore, make the patient inappropriate for entry into this study.
17. Patients with known interstitial fibrosis or interstitial lung disease.
