FDA Approves Repotrectinib for ROS1-positive NSCLC

On November 15, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved repotrectinib for locally advanced or metastatic ROS1-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This is the first FDA approval that includes patients with ROS1-positive NSCLC who have previously received a ROS1 tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), in addition to patients who are TKI naïve.
