Ceritinib is a drug for the treatment of lung cancer. It is an ALK inhibitor. It was approved in April 2014 by the Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of ALK-positive metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) following treatment with crizotinib.
Oncology Treatment: Ceritinib powder is primarily used in the treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that harbors a mutation in the anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) gene.
Targeted Therapy: As a targeted therapy, it specifically inhibits the ALK protein, blocking its signaling pathways involved in cancer cell growth and proliferation.
Second-Line or Later Treatment: It is often prescribed as a second-line or subsequent therapy option for patients who have progressed after receiving crizotinib, another ALK inhibitor.
Combination Therapy: Research is ongoing to explore the potential of combining ceritinib with other therapies to enhance treatment outcomes.
Inhibits ALK Kinase Activity: Ceritinib functions by selectively inhibiting the activity of the ALK tyrosine kinase, preventing its abnormal signaling that drives tumor growth and survival.
Tumor Growth Suppression: By disrupting ALK-mediated signaling, ceritinib helps to slow or halt the growth of ALK-positive cancer cells.
Prolongs Survival: In clinical trials, ceritinib has demonstrated the ability to improve progression-free survival and overall survival in patients with ALK-positive NSCLC.
Reduces Tumor Burden: Its targeted mechanism of action contributes to reducing the burden of cancer in the body, potentially improving patients' quality of life.
Minimizes Off-Target Effects: As a relatively selective inhibitor, ceritinib aims to minimize adverse effects on non-cancerous cells, although some side effects may still occur.
