We are a patient-driven organization that seeks a cure for ALK+ cancer and works to improve patients’ quality of life and life expectancy worldwide.
ALK Positive, Inc. is a patient-founded and patient-driven nonprofit organization committed to transforming the future for everyone affected by ALK-positive cancer. What began in 2015 as a grassroots effort by Merita Carroll, a stage IV patient and oncology nurse seeking connection, has grown into a global movement of more than 3,000 patients and care partners across 55+ countries.
We’re not just here to raise awareness, we’re here to drive research, fund clinical trials, and demand better treatment options . From advocating for the inclusion of ALK in clinical studies to investing in breakthrough science, we act with urgency, because for our community, research means survival.
This is more than an organization. It’s a global force for change, made possible by dedicated volunteers, bold leadership, and a community that refuses to wait.
ALK Positive was created by Merita Carroll in 2015. She wanted a support community where ALK-positive lung cancer patients, like herself, and caregivers could share their personal experience with this condition.
Merita was a vibrant healthy young woman working as a registered nurse when diagnosed Stage IV. She was diagnosed on March 6, 2015 and, sadly, passed away on April 24, 2018.

🔬 Help Advance CAR T-Cell Research for Oncogene-Driven Lung Cancer On October 18, over 200 patients, care partners, and advocates from the ALK-positive, EGFR, HER2, and broader oncogene-driven lung cancer communities joined ALKtALK, in collaboration with EGFR Resisters, to hear Dr. Kyle Concannon from the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus. He shared his work on active-conformation EGFR-specific (ACES) CAR T cells, a new approach designed to find and attack the cancer cells that survive targeted therapy. For many of us, that is the question that matters most. ALK inhibitors have given us more time than ever before, but resistance remains the reality we all live with. CAR T-cell therapy has already changed what is possible for some blood cancers. Dr. Concannon’s research asks whether engineered immune cells could do the same for oncogene-driven lung cancer, and possibly work alongside the targeted therapies we already rely on. The ACES program includes ALK-positive and EGFR arms, and our communities have the chance to help move it forward. Research at this stage is needed to build the evidence for a first clinical trial. This research is still early. That is exactly why patient-funded support matters: early-stage science is often the hardest to fund, and our communities can help shape what gets studied and how quickly. Together, we can help create more possibilities for people living with oncogene-driven lung cancer. Watch the ALKtALK replay to learn more about Dr. Concannon's research and how our communities can help move this work forward. ▶️ https://youtu.be/30skcFExCPA?si=KV6bYX9ZGY0gB63X Stay informed. Become empowered.

What does survivorship mean when you're living with ALK-positive cancer? Survivorship is about more than a diagnosis or treatment. It's about living, adapting, and finding ways to maintain quality of life along the way. In this clip from our Season 7 premiere of ALKtALK, Dr. Eric Singhi, thoracic medical oncologist at MD Anderson Cancer Center, shares his perspective on what cancer survivorship means for the ALK-positive community. In the full conversation, Dr. Singhi also discusses building a multidisciplinary care team, advances in lung cancer research, and practical questions about TKIs, cancer progression, vaccines, and more. Whether you're newly diagnosed or have been living with ALK-positive cancer for years, this conversation offers valuable information and perspective on navigating life after diagnosis. 🎥 Watch the full ALKtALK replay: https://youtu.be/aIVlb1OiWxU #ALKPositive #ALKtALK #CancerSurvivorship #LifeWithALKPositiveCancer

How could we find new cancer treatments faster? ALK Positive is helping fund researchers at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute who are tackling that question—with an approach they’re now applying to lung cancer. The team developed a faster way to identify and test treatments that help immune cells recognise and destroy cancer cells. Their first results are in lymphoma, where an experimental treatment both flags cancer cells for attack and blocks a signal that protects them. Why does this matter to our ALK community? We need more treatment options, and developing them starts with finding new ways to target cancer. This is early laboratory and animal research, not yet a treatment for ALK-positive cancer. But it shows how research supported by our community can help explore possibilities across cancer types.
