Study Summary

This study will consist of a Phase 1b and Phase 2 portion. The Phase 1b portion will enroll first followed by the Phase 2 portion. Each cycle of treatment = 28 days. Subjects will receive alectinib twice daily. Those in the Phase 1b portion will receive alectinib alone. Those in Phase 2 Arm A will receive alectinib alone. Those in Phase 2, Arm B will receive SRS + alectinib. A maximum of 25 cycles (2 years) of alectinib may be administered on study.

Primary Outcome

Neurological status will be measured by a composite endpoint of: -Inntracranial progression(icPD) by RANO-BM criteria or death during the first 12 months. OR -Symptomatic radiation necrosis during the first 12 months. Symptomatic radiation necrosis is defined as requiring initiation of or increased dose of steroids or resulting in seizures or requirement of AEDs or requirement of hospitalization or surgery. OR -Cognitive decline, defined as 1 standard deviation decline from baseline cogniti
