XALKORI Target & Pathway

Pro

Target

ALK (Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase) Receptor Tyrosine Kinase

A receptor tyrosine kinase that, when mutated or rearranged, drives cancer cell growth. ALK rearrangements occur in about 5% of non-small cell lung cancers. Inhibiting ALK blocks aberrant signaling that promotes tumor survival and proliferation.

Drug = Competitor name Company = Manufacturer N indic. = FDA-approved indications → Date = Patent/exclusivity expiry

Competitors share the same molecular target (ALK). Earlier expiry dates signal biosimilar/generic opportunities.
