Lorbrena Information:

Buy Lorbrena

Lorbrena (Lorlatinib) is a medication used to treat certain types of non-small cell lung (NSCLC) that is caused by an abnormal anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) gene, and that has spread to other parts of the body and their NSCLC is no longer responding to alectinib or crizotinib and at least one other ALK inhibitor medicine. Lorbrena is used only if your cancer has a specific genetic marker (an abnormal “ALK” gene). Your doctor will test you for this gene. Lorbrena is only given after other cancer treatments have not worked or have stopped working. Lorbrena belongs to a class of medications called multikinase inhibitors, and works by inhibiting the ALK protein, which prevents tumours with ALK proteins from growing and spreading.
