PRIMO 2023 | Choosing the best ALK inhibitor for lung cancer

Jorge Nieva, MD, University of California, San Francisco, CA, gives a summary of current ALK inhibitors for lung cancer. There are multiple ALK inhibitors available such as brigatinib and alectinib, which are both second generation inhibitors. Lorlatinib is a third generation inhibitor, which has shown to be effective in resistant mutants, albeit with a higher toxicity profile. This interview took place at the Practical Recommendations in Immuno and Molecular Oncology (PRIMO) 2023 Congress in Honolulu, HI.
