Molecular Profile EML4 - ALK
Therapy Afatinib + Alectinib
Indication/Tumor Type lung non-small cell carcinoma
Response Type sensitive

Filtering

  • Case insensitive filtering will display rows if any text in any cell matches the filter term
  • Use simple literal full or partial string matches
  • Separate multiple filter terms with a space. Any order may be used (i. e. a b c and c b a are equivalent )
  • Filtering will only apply to rows that are already loaded on the page. Filtering has no impact on query parameters.
  • Use quotes to match on a longer phrase with spaces (i.e. "mtor c1483f")

Sorting

  • Generally, the default sort order for tables is set to be first column ascending; however, specific tables may set a different default sort order.
  • Click on any column header arrows to sort by that column
  • Hold down the Shift key and click multiple columns to sort by more than one column. Be sure to set ascending or descending order for a given column before moving on to the next column.

EML4 - ALK lung non-small cell carcinoma sensitive Afatinib + Alectinib Preclinical - Cell culture Actionable In a preclinical study, treatment with the combination of Gilotrif (afatinib) and Alecensa (alectinib) increased inhibition of downstream signaling, viability, and residual colony formation in a non-small cell lung cancer cell line harboring EML4-ALK compared to Alecensa (alectinib) treatment alone in culture (PMID: 37748191). 37748191
EML4 - ALK lung non-small cell carcinoma sensitive Afatinib + Alectinib Preclinical - Cell line xenograft Actionable In a preclinical study, combination of Gilotrif (afatinib) and Alecensa (alectinib) restored sensitivity to Alecensa (alectinib) in non-small cell lung cancer cells harboring EML4-ALK fusion that acquired resistance to Alecensa (alectinib) through up-regulating Egfr signaling in culture and inhibited tumor progression in cell line xenograft models (PMID: 26682573). 26682573
