Molecular and clinical features of second-generation anaplastic lymphoma kinase inhibitors: ceritinib.
Future Oncology 2017 December
The discovery of ALK rearrangement in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) triggered rapid clinical development of a family of specific drugs targeting this alteration, called ALK inhibitors. Despite high rate of responses, the vast majority of patients treated with first-generation ALK inhibitor crizotinib will ultimately develop disease progression. The second-generation ALK inhibitor, ceritinib, is an oral, small-molecule that inhibits the ALK kinase activity with a potency 20-fold greater than crizotinib, being able to tackle some of the principal mechanisms of resistance to crizotinib. Evidences from five large prospective clinical trials have so far showed impressive activity of ceritinib in ALK inhibitor pretreated and naive NSCLC patients. This review will focus on the preclinical and clinical data available regarding ceritinib pharmacology, clinical efficacy and safety profile.
