The information on this website is based on data from adult patients with ALK-positive advanced NSCLC (anaplastic lymphoma kinase positive advanced non small cell lung cancer) treated with LORVIQUA▼(lorlatinib), produced in line with the LORVIQUA (lorlatinib) Summary of Product Characteristics.
LORVIQUA (lorlatinib) Prescribing Information click here.
▼LORVIQUA is subject to additional monitoring. This will allow quick identification of new safety information. Healthcare professionals are asked to report any suspected adverse reactions. See section 4.8 for how to report adverse reactions. Adverse event reporting information can also be found at the bottom of the page.

Generally manageable safety profile with largely mild-to-moderate adverse reactions^1,2

Data described here are reflective of the 476 patients treated with LORVIQUA in the Phase 1/2 study of previously treated patients and the Phase 3 CROWN study of previously untreated patients.^1,2

The most common adverse reactions are reported below.

ARs (any grade) occurring in ≥20% of patients treated with LORVIQUA (N=476)¹

Adverse reaction	All grades	Grades 3 and 4
Hypercholesterolaemia^a	81.1%	18.3%
Hypertriglyceridaemia^b	67.2%	19.3%
Oedema^c	55.7%	2.7%
Peripheral neuropathy^d	43.7%	2.7%
Weight increased	30.9%	10.1%
Cognitive effects^e	27.7%	2.9%
Fatigue^f	27.3%	1.3%
Arthralgia	23.5%	0.8%
Diarrhoea	22.9%	1.5%
Mood effects^g	21.0%	1.5%

In the CROWN study, permanent discontinuations and dose reductions associated with adverse reactions occurred in 7.0% and 21.0% of patients with LORVIQUA and 9.0% and 15.0% with crizotinib, respectively^3,h
35.0% of patients receiving LORVIQUA in the CROWN study reported CNS adverse events, but by the time of analysis 56.0% had resolved and most required no intervention (33.0% resolved without intervention, 17.0% with dose modification)^4,h,
Adverse reactions can be effectively managed with dose modifications and/or standard supportive medical therapy, without affecting the efficacy of LORVIQUA^4,5
