WHAT ALUNBRIG IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Alunbrig contains the active substance brigatinib, a type of cancer
medicine called a kinase inhibitor.
Alunbrig is used to treat adults with advanced stages of a
LUNG CANCER
called non-small cell lung
cancer. It is given to patients whose lung cancer is related to an
abnormal form of a gene called
anaplastic lymphoma kinase (
_ALK_
).
HOW ALUNBRIG WORKS
The abnormal gene produces a protein known as a kinase that stimulates
the growth of the cancer
cells. Alunbrig blocks the action of this protein and thus slows down
the growth and spread of the
cancer.
