1. Histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of stage IIIb or IV
NSCLC that carries an ALK rearrangement as per the FDA-approved Vysis
ALK break-apart FISH test (Abbott Molecular Inc)
2. Age 18 years or older at the time of informed consent.
3. Patients must have NSCLC that has progressed during or after the last chemotherapy received prior to the first dose of LDK378, if chemotherapy was received.
4. Patients must be chemotherapy-naive or have received 1-3 lines of cytotoxic chemotherapy to treat their locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC
5. Patients must have archival tissue sample available, collected either at the time of diagnosis of NSCLC or any time since.
6. Patients must have recovered from all toxicities related to prior anticancer therapies to grade = 2 except for patients with grade 2 nausea/vomiting and/or grade 2 diarrhea despite optimal supportive therapy who will not be allowed to participate in the study

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Main Objective: To demonstrate the antitumor activity of LDK378, as measured by overall response rate (ORR) to LDK378 by investigator assessment;Secondary Objective: To evaluate response related endpoints as assessed by investigator and Blinded Independent Review Committee (BIRC):<br>- Duration of response (DOR)<br>- Disease control rate (DCR)<br>- Time to response (TTR)<br>To assess ORR by BIRC assessment<br>To evaluate the safety profile of LDK378<br>To evaluate progression-free survival (PFS)<br>To evaluate overall survival (OS)<br>To evaluate overall intracranial response rate (OIRR);Primary end point(s): ORR per RECIST v1.1 calculated as the proportion of patients with a best overall response defined as complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) as assessed by investigator;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 6 cycles of 28 days up to 24 weeks
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Secondary end point(s): - DOR, calculated as the time from the date of the first documented CR or PR to the first documented progression or death due to underlying cancer, by investigator and BIRC assessment<br>- DCR, calculated as the proportion of patients with best overall response of CR, PR, or SD, by investigator and BIRC assessment<br>- TTR, calculated as the time from first dose of LDK378 to first documented response (CR+PR), by investigator and BIRC assessment<br>- ORR (CR+PR) per RECIST v1.1 as assessed by BIRC<br>- Adverse events and laboratory abnormalities<br>- PFS, defined as time from first dose of LDK378 to progression or death due to any cause, as assessed by BIRC and investigator assessment<br>- OS, defined as time from first dose of LDK378 to death due to any cause<br>- OIRR, calculated as the ORR (CR+PR) of lesions in the brain for patients who have measurable disease in the brain at baseline;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 6 cycles of 28 days up to 24 weeks for all
