It’s this ALK inhibitor called brigatinib. It’s used for treating adults who have a type of lung cancer called non-small cell lung cancer, which has spread, and it’s caused by changes in the ALK gene. The main part of the drug does its job by stopping the ALK signaling.
You can get brigatinib as a pill with either a 30mg, 90mg, or 180mg dose. You start with 90mg a day for the first week, then switch to 180mg a day after that. Each bottle has 30 pills, which makes it easy for patients to take their medicine.
Like any drug, brigatinib has its share of warnings and cautionary stuff to look out for. It’s super important to follow exactly what your doc tells you about how to take it, so you stay safe and it works right.
