    Crizotinib, sold under the brand name Xalkori among others, is a medication used to treat non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC).[1] Specifically it is used for advanced disease that is ALK-positive or ROS1-positive.[1] It is taken by mouth.[1]

    Common side effects include vision problems, nausea, diarrhea, swelling, liver problems, dizziness, nerve pain, and tiredness.[1] Other side effects may include pneumonitis, low white blood cells, and QT prolongation.[1] Use in pregnancy may harm the baby.[2] It is a receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) inhibitor.[1]

    Crizotinib was approved for medical use in the United States in 2011 and Europe in 2012.[2][1] In the United Kingdom a month of medication costs the NHS about £4,700 as of 2021.[3] This amount in the United States is about 19,400 USD.[4]

    Medical uses

    Crizotinib is indicated for the treatment of metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) or relapsed or refractory, systemic anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) that is ALK-positive.[2][1]

    Dosage

    It is typically taken at a dose of 250 mg twice per day.[1] A dose of 200 mg twice per day or 250 mg once per day may be used if certain side effects occur.[1]

    Side effects

    Severe ulcerations of the esophagus.

    In terms of the adverse effects of the medication Crizotinib we find the following: swelling of the face, arms, body aches or pain, chest pain, chills, constipation, cough, diarrhea, double vision, headache, irregular heartbeat, loss of appetite, night blindness, pain in the back of throat when swallowing, pale skin, recurrent fainting, sneezing, sores or ulcers inside the mouth, tunnel vision (this list is by no means complete.[5]
    Side effects that are not as common include [5]

    • Confusion
    • Dry mouth
    • Increased appetite
    • Repeated urination
    • Itching

    Mechanism of action

    Human anaplastic lymphoma kinase in complex with crizotinib. PDB 2xp2[6]

    Crizotinib has an aminopyridine structure, and functions as a protein kinase inhibitor by competitive binding within the ATP-binding pocket of target kinases. About 4% of patients with non-small cell lung carcinoma have a chromosomal rearrangement that generates a fusion gene between EML4 ('echinoderm microtubule-associated protein-like 4') and ALK ('anaplastic lymphoma kinase'), which results in constitutive kinase activity that contributes to carcinogenesis and seems to drive the malignant phenotype.[7] The kinase activity of the fusion protein is inhibited by crizotinib.[7] Patients with this gene fusion are typically younger non-smokers who do not have mutations in either the epidermal growth factor receptor gene (EGFR) or in the K-Ras gene.[7][8] The number of new cases of ALK-fusion NSLC is about 9,000 per year in the U.S. and about 45,000 worldwide.[9][10]

    It is an anti-cancer medication acting as an ALK (anaplastic lymphoma kinase) and ROS1 (c-ros oncogene 1) inhibitor.[11][12][13]

    ALK mutations are thought to be important in driving the malignant phenotype in about 15% of cases of neuroblastoma, a rare form of peripheral nervous system cancer that occurs almost exclusively in very young children.[14]

    Crizotinib inhibits the c-Met/Hepatocyte growth factor receptor (HGFR) tyrosine kinase, which is involved in the oncogenesis of a number of other histological forms of malignant neoplasms.[15]

    Crizotinib is currently thought to exert its effects through modulation of the growth, migration, and invasion of malignant cells.[15][16] Other studies suggest that crizotinib might also act via inhibition of angiogenesis in malignant tumors.[17]

    History

    On August 24, 2011, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved crizotinib to treat certain late-stage (locally advanced or metastatic) non-small cell lung cancers that express the abnormal anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) gene.[18] Approval required a companion molecular test for the EML4-ALK fusion. In March 2016, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved crizotinib in ROS1-positive non-small cell lung cancer.[19]

    In October 2012, the European Medicines Agency (EMA) approved the use of crizotinib to treat non-small cell lung cancers that express the abnormal anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) gene.[1][20]

    Research

    Lung cancer

    Crizotinib caused tumors to shrink or stabilize in 90% of 82 patients carrying the ALK fusion gene.[8][9] Tumors shrank at least 30% in 57% of people treated.[9] [21] Most had adenocarcinoma, and had never smoked or were former smokers.[8] They had undergone treatment with an average of three other drugs prior to receiving crizotinib, and only 10% were expected to respond to standard therapy.[8][22] They were given 250 mg crizotinib twice daily for a median duration of six months.[8] Approximately 50% of these patients suffered at least one side effect, such as nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea.[22] Some responses to crizotinib have lasted up to 15 months.[22]

    A Phase III trial, PROFILE 1007,[23] compares crizotinib to standard second line chemotherapy (pemetrexed or taxotere) in the treatment of ALK-positive NSCLC.[24][10][25] Additionally, a phase 2 trial, PROFILE 1005, studies patients meeting similar criteria who have received more than one line of prior chemotherapy.[10]

    In February 2016, the J-ALEX phase III study comparing alectinib with crizotinib ALK-positive metastatic NSCLC was terminated early because an interim analysis showed that progression-free survival was longer with alectinib.[26] These results were confirmed in a 2017 analysis.[27]

    Lymphomas

    In people affected by relapsed or refractory ALK+ anaplastic large cell lymphoma, crizotinib produced objective response rates ranging from 65% to 90% and 3 year progression free survival rates of 60-75%. No relapse of the lymphoma was ever observed after the initial 100 days of treatment. Treatment must be continued indefinitely at present.[28][29][30]

    Other cancers

    Crizotinib is also being tested in clinical trials of advanced disseminated neuroblastoma.[31]
