While it shows a 44% reduction in progression or death compared to Pfizer's Xalkori, it faces stiff competition from established ALK inhibitors like Roche's Alecensa, which has demonstrated superior efficacy in previous studies. Despite its potential, Ensacove's market entry comes amid a landscape dominated by major pharmaceutical players.
