(b) an XRPD pattern as depicted in FIG. 1 ;

(c) a solid-state 13C NMR spectrum with signals at 170.4, 152.0, 141.3, 119.0 and 74.1 ppm±0.2 ppm;

(d) a solid state 13C NMR spectrum having the following chemical shift absolute differences from a peak at 23.6 ppm±2 ppm of 146.8, 128.4, 117.7, 95.4 and 50.5 ppm±0.1 ppm;

(e) a solid-state 13C NMR spectrum as depicted in FIG. 3 or 4 or 5 ; or

(f) combinations of these data.

4. A crystalline product according to claim 1 , designated Form A, characterized by an XRPD pattern having peaks at 8.0, 11.6, 13.5, 17.1 and 18.2 degrees 2-theta±0.2 degrees 2-theta, and also having one, two, three, four or five additional peaks selected from 13.1, 14.4, 15.7, 19.6 and 24.1 degrees two theta±0.2 degrees two theta.

5. A crystalline product according to claim 1 , designated Form A, characterized by an XRPD pattern having peaks at 8.0, 11.6, 13.1, 13.5, 14.4, 15.7, 17.1 18.2, 19.6 and 24.1 degrees 2-theta±0.2 degrees 2-theta.

6. A crystalline product according to claim 1 containing not more than about 1% (w/w) or not more than about 0.5% (w/w) of water or organic solvent.

7. A crystalline product according to claim 1 , which contains: no more than about 20% (w/w) of any other crystalline forms of Lorlatinib:Fumaric acid.

8. A crystalline product according to claim 1 , which contains no more than about 20% (w/w) of amorphous Lorlatinib:Fumaric acid.

9. A medicament comprising the crystalline product according to claim 1 .

10. A pharmaceutical composition comprising a crystalline product according to claim 1 , and at least one pharmaceutically acceptable excipient.

11. A process for preparing a pharmaceutical composition, comprising combining a crystalline product according to claim 1 with at least one pharmaceutically acceptable excipient.

12. A process for the preparation of a crystalline product according to claim 1 comprising:

(a) preparing a mixture comprising Lorlatinib and fumaric acid in water;

(b) optionally stirring;

(c) optionally cooling;

(d) optionally isolating crystalline Lorlatinib:Fumaric acid from the mixture;

(e) optionally washing and drying; and

(f) obtaining a crystalline product according to claim 1 .

13. A process according to claim 12 , wherein step (a) comprises providing a mixture containing Lorlatinib Form 2 and fumaric acid in water, under heating.

14. A process according to claim 13 , wherein the mixture in step (a) has a mol ratio of Lorlatinib to fumaric acid of: 1:1.4 to about 1:0.5.

15. A process according to claim 12 , wherein the crystalline product obtained is crystalline Lorlatinib:Fumaric acid Form A and the process further comprises a step of combining the crystalline Lorlatinib:Fumaric acid Form A with at least one pharmaceutically acceptable excipient to form a pharmaceutical composition.

16. A method of treating cancer comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of a crystalline product according to claim 1 , to a subject in need of the treatment.
