Alecensa Approved in Japan for the Additional Indication of Adjuvant Treatment for People with ALK-Positive Early-Stage NSCLC
“We are very pleased that Alecensa, a Chugai originated medicine, received approval in Japan following the U.S. and Europe for the additional indication of adjuvant therapy for ALK-positive NSCLC. In early-stage NSCLC, approximately half of patients who received tumor resection surgery may experience recurrence. With this additional indication, we are confident in not only reducing the risk of post-operative recurrence but also being able to expect complete cure and long-term survival in patients with ALK-positive NSCLC in Japan. We believe this greatly improves the quality of life for patients and their families. We will continue working to promptly provide proper use information,” said Chugai’s President and CEO, Dr. Osamu Okuda.
