Overview

Alunbrig is a cancer medicine that is used to treat adults with a type of lung cancer called non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). It is used in patients who have not been treated before with a medicine of the ALK inhibitor class or who have been treated before with the ALK-inhibitor crizotinib.

Alunbrig is only used if the NSCLC is ‘ALK-positive’, which means that the cancer cells have certain changes affecting the gene that makes a protein called ALK (anaplastic lymphoma kinase).

Alunbrig contains the active substance brigatinib.
