Authors' recommendations:
The evidence found supporting the use of ceritinib in patients with metastatic ALK+ lung cancer is limited and of low methodological quality. No randomized controlled clinical trials were found assessing the efficacy and safety of ceritinib. Lack of information on its impact on survival and quality of life in good quality controlled studies, limits its recommendation as a treatment of choice. Few international societies and US private health sponsors consider it as a therapeutic alternative for patients with disease progression or intolerance to the use of crizotinib.
