Brigatinib in Japanese patients with anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC): First results from the J-ALTA

Background: Brigatinib is a next-generation ALK inhibitor with demonstrated activity against ALK mutations. We report primary analysis results with brigatinib in Japanese patients with ALK-positive NSCLC who have not previously been treated with an ALK TKI in the phase 2 J-ALTA study (NCT03410108). Conclusions: In the J-ALTA TKI-naive cohort, brigatinib demonstrated substantial efficacy and manageable safety in the Japanese patient population. Brigatinib remains one of the treatment options in Japanese patients. Clinical trial information: NCT03410108. READ ARTICLE
