摘要: An anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) translocation giving rise to activated ALK tyrosine is present in approximately 5% of non-small-cell lung cancers (NSCLCs). Crizotinib an oral inhibitor targeting ALK, met proto-oncogene, and c-ros oncogene 1 (ROS1). It was recently approved several countries for the treatment patients with advanced, ALK-rearranged NSCLC. In 2012, results from first phase III trial showing superiority crizotinib compared standard chemotherapy second-line ALK-positive NSCLC were presented. Furthermore, shown be active ROS1-rearranged Here, we give overview molecular pathogenesis NSCLC, pharmacokinetic pharmacodynamic properties crizotinib, clinical trials
