Product Information

Crizocent (Crizotinib) 250mg is a selective ALK, ROS1, and MET tyrosine kinase inhibitor used to treat metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose tumours are ALK-positive or ROS1-positive, as well as certain ALK-positive inflammatory myofibroblastic tumours (IMT) and ALK-positive anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL). It works by blocking abnormal ALK, ROS1, and MET signalling that drives the growth and survival of tumour cells carrying these gene rearrangements.

How Crizocent (Crizotinib) Works

Crizocent contains Crizotinib, an inhibitor of receptor tyrosine kinases including ALK (anaplastic lymphoma kinase), ROS1, MET (c-Met/HGFR), and RON. In certain cancers, chromosomal translocations create abnormal fusion genes such as EML4-ALK, producing oncogenic fusion proteins that drive continuous, unregulated tumour cell growth and survival signalling.

Crizotinib works by binding to the ATP-binding pocket of these kinases, blocking their enzymatic activity and interrupting the downstream signalling cascades that these fusion proteins rely on for tumour proliferation. This targeted mechanism allows Crizocent to selectively act on cancer cells driven by ALK or ROS1 rearrangements while sparing normal tissue that does not depend on these pathways.

Crizocent is an oral capsule taken twice daily, offering a convenient, biomarker-guided treatment option for patients whose tumours have been confirmed as ALK-positive or ROS1-positive by an approved diagnostic test.

Indications for Crizocent (Crizotinib)

Crizocent (Crizotinib) is indicated for the following conditions:

ALK-Positive Metastatic NSCLC

For adult patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer whose tumours are ALK-positive, as detected by an approved diagnostic test, as a first-line or subsequent treatment option.

ROS1-Positive Metastatic NSCLC

For adult patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer whose tumours are ROS1-positive, a distinct molecular subset for which Crizotinib was among the first approved targeted therapies.

ALK-Positive Inflammatory Myofibroblastic Tumour

For adult and paediatric patients 1 year and older with unresectable, recurrent, or refractory ALK-positive IMT, a rare soft-tissue tumour.

ALK-Positive Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma

For paediatric patients 1 year and older and young adults with relapsed or refractory, systemic ALK-positive ALCL.

How to Take Crizocent (Crizotinib)

Route: Oral, taken by mouth

Standard dose: 250mg (one capsule) taken orally twice daily, approximately 12 hours apart, continued until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

With food: Can be taken with or without food. Avoid grapefruit, grapefruit juice, and Seville oranges during treatment.

Missed or vomited dose: If a dose is missed, take it as soon as remembered unless the next scheduled dose is due within a few hours, in which case skip the missed dose. If vomiting occurs after a dose, do not take an extra dose; simply take the next dose at the regular scheduled time.

Hepatic impairment: No adjustment needed for mild impairment. Moderate impairment (total bilirubin greater than 1.5 to 3 times ULN): 200mg twice daily. Severe impairment (total bilirubin greater than 3 times ULN): 250mg once daily.

Renal impairment: No adjustment needed for mild or moderate impairment. Severe impairment (creatinine clearance below 30 mL per minute) not requiring dialysis: starting dose of 250mg once daily, which may be increased to 200mg twice daily after at least 4 weeks based on tolerability.

Swallowing: Swallow capsules whole with a glass of water. Do not open, break, or chew the capsules.

Paediatric use: Established for ALK-positive IMT and ALK-positive ALCL in patients 1 year and older, using body-surface-area-based dosing. Not established for NSCLC in children.

Prescription Medication. Crizocent should only be initiated and monitored by an oncologist or specialist physician after confirmed ALK or ROS1 positivity by an approved test. Baseline and periodic liver function tests, ECG for QT interval, and eye examinations are required. Always follow your prescribing physician’s exact instructions.

Monitoring and Dosage Adjustments

Regular monitoring is essential during Crizocent treatment. Your healthcare provider will monitor liver function tests for hepatotoxicity, an ECG for QT interval prolongation, heart rate for bradycardia, and renal function given reported decreases in eGFR with Crizotinib. Monitoring also includes assessment for vision changes, respiratory symptoms that could indicate interstitial lung disease or pneumonitis, and abdominal pain that could indicate gastrointestinal perforation. Report any new visual disturbances, shortness of breath, palpitations, or severe abdominal pain to your doctor immediately.

Drug Interactions and Important Information

Crizotinib is metabolised primarily by CYP3A. Avoid concomitant use of strong CYP3A inhibitors such as ketoconazole, itraconazole, clarithromycin, and ritonavir, as these can significantly increase Crizotinib plasma levels. Avoid strong CYP3A inducers such as rifampin, carbamazepine, phenytoin, and St. John’s Wort, as these can reduce Crizotinib efficacy.

Crizotinib itself is a moderate CYP3A inhibitor and may increase the levels of other CYP3A-metabolised medications with a narrow therapeutic range, such as certain immunosuppressants, ergot derivatives, and antiarrhythmics. Avoid co-administration with other QT-prolonging medications. Always inform your physician of all medications, supplements, and herbal products you are currently taking before starting Crizocent.
