Alunbrig is a type of lung cancer drug used to treat non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). It is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) that works by blocking certain proteins that help cancer cells grow and divide. Alunbrig is used in combination with other drugs to treat NSCLC that has spread to other parts of the body or that has not responded to other treatments. It is also used to treat NSCLC that has a certain genetic mutation. Alunbrig is a relatively new drug, having been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2018. It is the first TKI approved for the treatment of NSCLC with a certain genetic mutation. Since its approval, Alunbrig has become an important part of the lung cancer drug market.
