Background

Crizotinib, an inhibitor of the anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK), is approved since 2012 in Switzerland for use in ALK-rearranged advanced pretreated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Patients and methods

Here we describe our own experience with crizotinib and ALK testing via fluorescence in-situ hybridization (FISH) in the first 10 ALK-positive patients who were treated in central Switzerland in 2011 on a compassionate use basis.

Results

We have demonstrated that FISH testing for ALK can be performed simultaneously with other diagnostic procedures, providing oncologists with results in a timely manner to make informed decisions about patient treatment. The majority of our patients treated with crizotinib had a clinical benefit, and the drug was tolerated well.

Conclusion

The clinical development of crizotinib has been extremely rapid. Nonetheless, by the time crizotinib was approved, many centers including our own had local testing in place and clinical experience with the drug. This emphasizes the importance of broad clinical studies and compassionate use programs in oncology."xsd:string
