Drug Detail:Entrectinib (systemic) (monograph) (Rozlytrek)
Drug Class:
Usual Adult Dose for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
600 mg orally once a day until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity
Use: For adult patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose tumors are ROS1-positive
Usual Adult Dose for Solid Tumors
600 mg orally once a day until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity
Uses: For adult patients with solid tumors that have a neurotrophic tyrosine receptor kinase (NTRK) gene fusion without a known acquired resistance mutation; are metastatic or where surgical resection is likely to result in severe morbidity; and have progressed following treatment or have no satisfactory alternative therapy.
Usual Pediatric Dose for Solid Tumors
12 years and older:
- Body surface area (BSA) greater than 1.5 m2: 600 mg orally once a day
- BSA 1.11 to 1.5 m2: 500 mg orally once a day
- BSA 0.91 to 1.1 m2: 400 mg orally once a day
Use: For pediatric patients 12 years and older with solid tumors that have a neurotrophic tyrosine receptor kinase (NTRK) gene fusion without a known acquired resistance mutation; are metastatic or where surgical resection is likely to result in severe morbidity; and have progressed following treatment or have no satisfactory alternative therapy.
Renal Dose Adjustments

Liver Dose Adjustments
- Grade 3 hepatic impairment: Withhold therapy until recovery to less than or equal to Grade 1 or baseline; resume at same dose if resolution occurs within 4 weeks; permanently discontinue if adverse reaction does not resolve within 4 weeks; resume at reduced dose for recurrent Grade 3 events that resolve within 4 weeks.
