brigatinib Uses, Side Effects, Interactions, Warnings & Dosing

Medically reviewed by Navin Khosla, B.Pharm

Written by Rajive Patel, B.Pharm

What dosages is brigatinib available in?

brigatinib is available as 30 mg, 90 mg, and 180 mg oral tablet.

What is brigatinib used for?

brigatinib is a kinase inhibitor and is used to treat anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)-positive non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to other parts of the body.

How does brigatinib work?

brigatinib is a targeted anticancer medication that blocks a protein called anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) made by the ALK gene. In people with ALK-positive NSCLC, this gene doesn’t work like it should. It ends up making abnormal proteins and causing cancer. By blocking the abnormal ALK protein, brigatinib can help slow or stop the spread of NSCLC cells that are ALK-positive.

How do I take brigatinib?

brigatinib is typically started at 90 mg taken by mouth once daily for a week. After that, your provider will raise your dose to 180 mg once daily. Your dose might be different if you have liver or kidney problems.

Is it safe for me to take brigatinib?

brigatinib is a safe and effective treatment when used for FDA licensed indications. However, like all medications, they may give you unwanted side effects. You should always discuss potential side effects with your physician to ensure the medication is suitable and right for you.
