Alunbrig (brigatinib; Takeda) is a dual anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitor.

Key Points: 
  • Alunbrig (brigatinib; Takeda) is a dual anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitor.
  • In preclinical studies, Alunbrig showed potent activity against secondary ALK mutations responsible for resistance to first-generation ALK inhibitor Xalkori (crizotinib; Pfizer/Merck KGaA), including the L1196M gatekeeper mutation.
  • While Alunbrig also showed activity against mutated EGFR and its analogous secondary gatekeeper mutation, T790M, the drug is primarily being developed for ALK-positive NSCLC non-small cell lung cancer.
  • Takeda is also currently conducting a Phase III trial of the drug in the first-line setting in an effort to increase Alunbrig's peak market share.
