XALKORI (crizotinib)
XALKORI is indicated for the treatment of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer; Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma; Inflammatory Myofibroblastic Tumor.
How XALKORI Works
Crizotinib is an inhibitor of receptor tyrosine kinases, including ALK, ROS1, Hepatocyte Growth Factor Receptor (HGFR, c-Met), and Recepteur d'Origine Nantais (RON). In cancers where the ALK or ROS1 genes are rearranged, oncogenic fusion proteins are expressed that drive constitutive kinase activity. Crizotinib demonstrates concentration-dependent inhibition of the phosphorylation of these kinases, thereby disrupting downstream signaling pathways. This inhibition results in decreased cell proliferation, reduced tumor cell survival, and the induction of apoptosis in tumors expressing these fusion proteins.

What XALKORI Treats
3 indicationsXALKORI is approved for 3 conditions since its original approval in 2011. These indications span multiple therapeutic areas including oncology, immunology, and more.

- Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma
- Inflammatory Myofibroblastic Tumor
XALKORI Target & Pathway
ProTarget
A receptor tyrosine kinase that, when mutated or rearranged, drives cancer cell growth. ALK rearrangements occur in about 5% of non-small cell lung cancers. Inhibiting ALK blocks aberrant signaling that promotes tumor survival and proliferation.

How We Calculate These Metrics
Trial Activity Stage
Measures the current development activity pattern based on trial phases, status, and trends. Important: This measures R&D activity, not commercial lifecycle.
Trial statuses: "Active" means recruiting or ongoing. "Completed" means reached planned endpoint. "Terminated" means stopped early—often due to safety, efficacy, or business reasons.
- Growth: High proportion of early-phase trials (Phase 1/2), active development
- Expansion: Significant Phase 3 activity, approaching or pursuing approvals
- Mature: Substantial Phase 4 post-marketing studies
- Stable: Mixed phase distribution, steady development
- Declining: Low active trial ratio, reduced R&D investment
