General information

Class/mechanism: Tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI); inhibits multiple kinases including anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK), ROS1, insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor (IGF-1R), FLT-3, and EGFR deletion and point mutations. Brigatinib inhibited growth of cells with EML4-ALK and NPM-ALK fusion proteins. Brigatinib prevents autophosphorylation of ALK and, subsequently, downstream signaling through STAT3, AKT, ERK1/2, and S6. Brigatinib inhibited cells expressing EML4-ALK, as well as mutant forms of EML4-ALK, such as as G1202R and L1196M. Brigatinib was able to inhibit some mutant forms which are associated with resistance to ALK inhibitors including crizotinib, as well as EGFR-Del (E746-A750), ROS1-L2026M, FLT3-F691L, and FLT3-D835Y.

For conciseness and simplicity, HemOnc.org currently will focus on treatment regimens and not list information such as: renal/hepatic dose adjustments, metabolism (including CYP450), excretion, monitoring parameters (although this will be considered for checklists), or manufacturer. Instead, for the most current information, please refer to your preferred pharmacopeias such as Micromedex, Lexicomp, UpToDate (courtesy of Lexicomp), or the prescribing information.[1]
