Iruplinalkib is Qilu Pharmaceutical's second-generation ALK inhibitor, approved in China in 2023 for ALK-positive non-small-cell lung cancer after crizotinib and in 2024 as first-line treatment.
Iruplinalkib (WX-0593) was developed by Qilu Pharmaceutical in Jinan. The NMPA approved it in June 2023 for locally advanced or metastatic ALK-positive non-small-cell lung cancer that had progressed on or was intolerant to crizotinib, and in 2024 extended the approval to first-line use after the INSPIRE phase 3 trial showed longer progression-free survival than crizotinib.
Blocks the ALK fusion kinase that drives about five percent of non-small-cell lung cancers, including resistance mutations that stop first-generation inhibitors. Connects to ALK and ROS1.
