So, Ceritinib is this thing that’s supposed to help with a type of lung cancer where the ALK gene is acting up. It zeroes in on that ALK pathway to stop cancer cells from growing and spreading out of control. It’s in capsule form and each one has 150 mg of the good stuff.
You’re supposed to take 450 mg of it every day, with your meal to make sure it’s absorbed well. Each bottle’s got 70 capsules of the stuff. It’s like this superhero that stops cells from moving to the next stage of dividing when they shouldn’t be.
Also, it’s been seen to stick super tight to this cancer-causing ALK protein, way tighter than other tests have shown. The clinical tests show it works and is safe, and it’s been cleared for the first step in treating this kind of cancer, thanks to something called the PIVOT trial.
