ROZLYTREK, Entrectinib Form
Entrectinib (Rozlytrek®) is a kinase inhibitor.
FDA Approved Indication(s)
Rozlytrek is indicated for the treatment of:
• Adult patients with ROS1-positive metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) as
detected by an FDA-approved test.
• Adult and pediatric patients older than 1 month of age with solid tumors that:
o have a neurotrophic tyrosine receptor kinase (NTRK) gene fusion as detected by an FDA-
approved test without a known acquired resistance mutation,
o are metastatic or where surgical resection is likely to result in severe morbidity, and
o have either progressed following treatment or have no satisfactory alternative therapy.
This indication is approved under accelerated approval based on tumor response rate and durability of
response. Continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical
benefit in the confirmatory trials.

information) supporting that member has met all approval criteria.
