1. What is Rozlytrek and what is it used for

What is Rozlytrek

Rozlytrek is a cancer medicine that contains the active substance entrectinib.

What is Rozlytrek used for

Rozlytrek is used to treat:

  • adults, adolescents, and children over 1 month of age with solid tumors (cancer) in various parts of the body, which are caused by a change in the gene called neurotrophic tyrosine receptor kinase (NTRK)
  • adults with a type of lung cancer called "non-small cell lung cancer" (NSCLC), which is caused by a change in the ROS1gene.

This medicine is used for solid tumors when:

  • a test has shown that your cancer cells have a change in the NTRKgenes (see "How Rozlytrek works" below), and
  • your cancer has spread within the affected organ or to other organs in your body, or if surgery to remove the cancer is likely to cause serious complications, and
  • you have not received previous treatment with NTRKinhibitor medicines
  • other treatments have not been effective or are not suitable for you.

This medicine is used for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC):

  • it is ROS1-positive: this means that your cancer cells have a change in a gene called ROS1(see "How Rozlytrek works" below),
  • it is advanced - for example, it has spread to other parts of your body (i.e., it is metastatic), and
  • you have not received previous treatment with ROS1inhibitor medicines.

How Rozlytrek works

Rozlytrek works by blocking the action of faulty proteins. These faulty proteins are caused by a change in the genes that produce them, called NTRKor ROS1. These faulty proteins stimulate the growth of cancer cells.

Rozlytrek may slow down or stop the growth of the cancer. It may also help to reduce it.
