crizotinib Uses, Side Effects, Interactions, Warnings & Dosing
What dosages is crizotinib available in?
crizotinib is available as 200 mg and 250 mg oral capsules and 20 mg, 50 mg, and 150 mg oral pellets.
What is crizotinib used for?
crizotinib is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor that is used to treat:
- Metastatic non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with an ALK or ROS1 mutation
- Advanced anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) with an ALK mutation
- Advanced inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) with an ALK mutation
How does crizotinib work?
crizotinib works by targeting cells that have genetic changes (mutations) in specific receptors, such as anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) and ROS1. These genetic changes cause cells to become cancer cells. When crizotinib blocks the activity of these receptors, cancer cells can’t grow and spread as well.
How do I take crizotinib?
crizotinib is dosed as follows:
NSCLC
- Adults: The usual dose is 250 mg by mouth twice a day
ALCL
- Children and young adults: Your provider will determine your dose based on body surface area (BSA), which is a measurement of body size that takes into account weight and height. The usual dose ranges from 200 mg to 500 mg twice a day, depending on body size
IMT
- Adults: The usual dose is 250 mg by mouth twice a day
- Children: Your child’s provider will determine your child’s dose based on their body size, taking into account their weight and height. The usual dose ranges from 200 mg to 500 mg twice a day, depending on body size
