ALK rearrange ALK mut | lung non-small cell carcinoma | sensitive | Ceritinib | Clinical Study - Cohort | Actionable | In a retrospective analysis, patients with ALK-rearrangement positive non-small cell lung cancer who acquired ALK drug resistance mutations following Xalkori (crizotinib) treatment had a median progression-free survival (mPFS) of 5.4 months on Zykadia (ceritinib), which was not significantly different than the mPFS of 6.5 months for patients without ALK mutations (PMID: 25724526). | 25724526 |
ALK mut TP53 wild-type | neuroblastoma | sensitive | Crizotinib + Cyclophosphamide + Topotecan | Preclinical - Pdx & cell culture | Actionable | In a preclinical study, Xalkori (crizotinib) demonstrated synergy with the combination of Topotecan and Cytoxan (cyclophosphamide) in patient-derived neuroblastoma cell lines harboring Alk mutations and functional TP53, resulting in growth inhibition in culture and tumor regression in animal models (PMID: 26438783). | 26438783 |
