Ceritinib
A kinase inhibitor targeting anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) and other related kinases, used in the treatment of ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer, particularly after progression on or intolerance to crizotinib. It penetrates the central nervous system and can treat brain metastases. Gastrointestinal side effects are common, and taking it with a low-fat meal helps reduce tolerability issues.
