Sex and common germline variants impact the toxicity profile and pharmacokinetics of alectinib: a nation-wide cohort study in patients with ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer Alectinib, a small-molecule kinase inhibitor, is used as first-line treatment for anaplastic lymphoma kinaseโ€“positive (ALK+) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Albeit generally well-tolerated, a considerable subset of patients requires dose adjustments due to drug-related toxicity. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in genes related to the metabolism of alectinib may upfront identify patients at risk for toxicity.

Can gender & genetics impact alectinib tox? @jtoonline.bsky.social

- women had โฌ†๏ธg3+ tox (f v m: 56% v 34% p=0.001), 35% had โฌ†๏ธtrough levels p<0.001
