Patient need for novel therapies in ROS1 fusion-positive non-small cell lung cancer

ROS1+ NSCLC patients have benefited from existing therapies like crizotinib. However, there are unmet needs for novel therapies to address drug resistance, brain metastasis, neurologic and cognitive side effects, and short duration of response. Several investigational new therapies may provide solutions.

Join our webinar to learn about:

The current treatment landscape for patients with ROS1+ NSCLC
Differences between the different ROS1 inhibitors either already approved or in development
How to improve outcomes for all ROS1+ cancers

A live Q&A session will follow the discussion.
