MFDS ingredient code M264844
Alectinib hydrochloride is an anticancer agent that targets ALK (anaplastic lymphoma kinase) mutations. It is primarily used in the treatment of patients with ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer, playing a role in inhibiting the growth and proliferation of cancer cells.
Alectinib hydrochloride blocks the activity of ALK protein within cancer cells, preventing the signaling that allows cancer cells to proliferate. As a result, the growth of cancer cells is inhibited, and the size of tumors may decrease.

Alectinib hydrochloride has better brain penetration compared to other ALK inhibitors, making it effective for the treatment of patients with brain metastases. Additionally, it retains efficacy even in the presence of resistance, which distinguishes it from some other ALK inhibitors.
