Pfizer’s Lorviqua (lorlatinib), or Lorbrena as it is known in the US, Canada and Japan, has just been awarded conditional marketing approval from the European Commission (EC) for the treatment of anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)-positive advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), according to the company.
Specifically, the drug has been approved as a monotherapy for adult patients whose disease has progressed after alectinib or ceritinib as the first ALK tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy, or crizotinib and at least one other ALK TKI.
