ALK rearrange | lung non-small cell carcinoma | sensitive | Alectinib | Case Reports/Case Series | Actionable | In a clinical case study, Alecensa (alectinib) treatment resulted in disease stability in an HIV-positive pregnant patient with non-small cell lung cancer harboring an ALK translocation, with normal fetal development observed (PMID: 36644155). | 36644155 |
ALK rearrange | lung non-small cell carcinoma | sensitive | Alectinib | FDA approved - On Companion Diagnostic | Actionable | In a Phase III trial supporting FDA approval (ALEX), Alecensa (alectinib) treatment resulted in improved rate of progression-free survival compared to Xalkori (crizotinib) (68.4% vs 48.7%, HR=0.47), and median progression-free survival (25.7 vs 10.4 months) in non-small cell lung cancer patients harboring ALK rearrangement (PMID: 28586279; NCT02075840). | 28586279 detail... detail... |
ALK rearrange | lung non-small cell carcinoma | sensitive | Alectinib | Guideline | Actionable | Alecensa (alectinib) is included in guidelines as preferred first-line therapy and as subsequent therapy for patients with ALK-rearranged advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NCCN.org). | detail... |
ALK rearrange | lung non-small cell carcinoma | sensitive | Alectinib | Guideline | Actionable | Alecensa (alectinib) is included in the Pan-Asian Guidelines Adaptation (PAGA) as first-line therapy for non-small cell lung cancer patients with ALK rearrangements, including patients with CNS involvement, and as subsequent therapy for patients that progress on Xalkori (crizotinib) (PMID: 30596843; ESMO.org). | 30596843 detail... |
ALK rearrange | lung non-small cell carcinoma | sensitive | Alectinib | FDA approved - On Companion Diagnostic | Actionable | In a Phase III trial supporting FDA approval (ALINA), adjuvant Alecensa (alectinib) treatment improved 2-year disease-free survival rate (93.8% vs 63.0%, HR 0.24, p<0.001) compared to chemotherapy in patients with resected non-small cell lung cancer harboring ALK rearrangement, and was associated with CNS disease-free survival benefit (HR 0.22) (PMID: 38598794; NCT03456076). | 38598794 detail... detail... |
ALK rearrange | lung non-small cell carcinoma | sensitive | Alectinib | Phase II | Actionable | In a Phase II trial, Alecensa (alectinib) treatment was effective in treating non-small cell lung cancer patients with ALK rearrangement, resulting in a 50% (61/122) objective response rate (ORR) in all patients, a 45% (43/96) ORR in Crizotinib-refractory patients, and an 83% (70/84) CNS disease control rate (PMID: 26598747). | 26598747 |
ALK rearrange | lung non-small cell carcinoma | sensitive | Alectinib | Guideline | Actionable | Alecensa (alectinib) is included in guidelines for patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer harboring an ALK rearrangement (PMID: 30285222; ESMO.org). | 30285222 detail... |
ALK rearrange | lung non-small cell carcinoma | sensitive | Alectinib | Clinical Study - Cohort | Actionable | In a retrospective analysis, non-small cell lung cancer patients with brain metastases harboring an ALK rearrangement demonstrated prolonged survival following treatment with the combination of an ALK-targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor, including Alecensa (alectinib), and radiotherapy (PMID: 26438117). | 26438117 |
