Objective: This article describes a study protocol for evaluating adherence to oral chemotherapy (OCT) in patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in Spain.
Methods: This multicenter, observational, prospective study will be conducted by six hospital pharmacists from six Spanish hospitals. The study will include men and women aged 18 years or older with a diagnosis of locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC who are being treated or have been prescribed OCT.
The use of anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), such as lorlatinib, for the treatment of patients with ALK gene rearrangement (or ALK-positive) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has been shown to improve the overall survival and quality of life of these patients. However, lorlatinib is not exempt from potential adverse events. Adequate monitoring and management of these adverse events are critical for increasing patient adherence to lorlatinib, thereby maximizing the benefits of treatment and minimizing the risks associated with treatment discontinuation.

Objective: We aimed to develop of a risk stratification model for the pharmaceutical care (PC) of patients with solid or hematologic neoplasms who required antineoplastic agents or supportive treatments.
Method: The risk stratification model was collaboratively developed by oncology pharmacists from the Spanish Society of Hospital Pharmacy (SEFH). It underwent refinement through three workshops and a pilot study.
