As of 2026-09-13

EML4-ALK shows approved-linked disease relevance led by non-small cell lung carcinoma. 5 more disease programs remain visible in the same review block. 5 linked drugs keep the current disease frame grounded. Protein identity stays anchored to UniProt Q9UM73. Start with non-small cell lung carcinoma, then reuse UniProt Q9UM73 as the stable protein anchor across project notes and exports.

non-small cell lung carcinoma

EML4-ALK shows approved-linked disease relevance led by non-small cell lung carcinoma. 5 more disease programs remain visible in the same review block. 5 linked drugs remain visible in the same block.

Start review with non-small cell lung carcinoma because it currently carries approved-linked support. Linked drugs include ALECTINIB HYDROCHLORIDE, CERITINIB, CRIZOTINIB, LORLATINIB. This disease block keeps the Open Targets-ready contract explicit while current evidence comes from ChEMBL mechanism and indication mappings.
