Alecensa (alectinib)

Alecensa is a highly selective, central nervous system-active, oral medicine used for the treatment of people with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose tumours are identified as anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)-positive. Alecensa is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor that targets ALK fusion proteins, preventing signalling within cancer cells to inhibit their growth and survival.
