Extension of indication
High clinical benefit for the treatment of ALK + non-small cell lung cancer and minor clinical added value compared to platinum salt-based chemotherapy
- XALKORI has been granted a marketing authorisation for the first-line treatment of adults with advanced ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
A study has demonstrated a gain in progression-free survival but with no impact on overall survival with XALKORI compared to platinum salt-based chemotherapy.
It is difficult to transfer the findings of the study conducted to real-life conditions of use due to different treatment schedules between the two groups.
This is a first-line treatment for advanced ALK+ NSCLC.
