Introduction Approximately 3-7% of advanced non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLC) are driven by an anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) rearrangement. Crizotinib, ceritinib, alectinib, and brigatinib are activeALKinhibitors (ALKi) used to treat this oncogene-driven subset of NSCLC. Resistance occurs with time to ALKi and new therapeutics are being developed. Lorlatinib is an efficacious third-generation ALKi with an ability to overcome resistance mutations that develop with first- or second-generation ALKi. Areas covered Herein, the authors review the mechanism of action, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, clinical efficacy, and safety of lorlatinib and provide their future perspectives on this drug. Expert commentary Lorlatinib is a potentALKandROS-1inhibitor that also has activity against many acquiredALKresistance mutations. Clinical trials show the robust systemic and intracranial anti-tumor activity of lorlatinib inALKrearranged advanced NSCLC. Adverse events of lorlatinib are unique and manageable. These include hypocholesteremia, hypertriglyceridemia, edema, cognitive effects, weight gain, and diarrhea. Loratinib will play an increasing role in the management ofALK-rearranged NSCLC with the optimal sequencing of ALKi undergoing further research.
