Rhea-AI Summary

Roche has received FDA approval for the VENTANA ALK (D5F3) CDx Assay, a companion diagnostic that identifies ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients eligible for treatment with LORBRENA® (lorlatinib). This assay is unique as the only FDA-approved immunohistochemistry test for LORBRENA. Previous studies showed ALK-positive patients treated with ALK inhibitors can achieve nearly three years of progression-free survival, compared to seven to eight months with chemotherapy. The assay also identifies more patients suitable for anti-ALK therapy than traditional FISH testing.
