[Lorlatinib primary hospital patient health management expert consensus (2025 edition)]
Abstract:
Lorlatinib is a novel third-generation anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) used for the treatment of patients with ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. This drug exhibits high affinity, effectively overcoming various resistance mutations, and can penetrate the blood-brain barrier, demonstrating significant efficacy against brain metastases. Lorlatinib exhibits generally manageable safety profiles. To improve patients' adherence and maximize patients survival outcome, physicians need pay attention to lorlatinib related adverse events such as hyperlipidemia, edema, and hypertension, necessitating dose adjustments and symptom management based on individual patient conditions. The Beijing Cancer Prevention and Treatment Research Association has organized relevant experts to formulate the "Lorlatinib primary hospital patient health management expert consensus (2025 edition)". This expert consensus provides standardized guidance on the use of lorlatinib for primary hospitals, including pharmacological characteristics, indications, dosage, high-level evidence-based medical research, adverse event management strategy and individualized treatment options. The consensus emphasizes the periodically monitor, identification, assessment, and management of adverse reactions, as well as the importance of long-term follow-up, aiming to maximize the clinical benefits of lorlatinib, ensure the therapeutic effectiveness, improve patients' quality of life and achieve long-term survival.
Insights
Lorlatinib is a third-generation anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) inhibitor for ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This consensus provides guidance for managing its side effects to improve patient outcomes and survival.
