Abstract
The emergence of oral targeted therapy in the management of non-small cell lung cancer with targetable oncogenes has led to significant improvements in progression-free survival, toxicity profile, and quality of life compared to intravenous chemotherapy. However, patients unable to swallow or with exclusive enteral feeding are left without alternative formulations for these targeted therapies given their availability only in tablet or capsule formulations. We report a case of a woman with metastatic anaplastic lymphoma kinase-positive non-small cell lung cancer who was unable to swallow and was successfully treated with an oil-based alectinib liquid suspension.
