Abstract Text Anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) tyrosine kinase inhibitors are the preferred initial treatment for ALK rearranged non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). While initial responses to next-generation inhibitors are robust, acquired resistance is expected for nearly all patients. Resistance is often mediated by point mutations along the solvent front. Use of the acquired mutational profile to guide therapy is still investigational and largely based on preclinical data demonstrating sensitivity of resistant cell lines to available kinase inhibitors. Here, we describe outcomes after development of an ALK L1196Q mutation. We present a patient with stage IV ALK rearranged lung cancer received who received first line crizotinib at 250 mg twice daily, then at progression, second line alectinib at 600 mg twice daily. When radiographic evidence of progression was noted, a biopsy was performed. Next generation sequencing (NGS) identified an acquired ALK L1196Q mutation. The patient was treated with third line brigatinib, at 90 mg daily and escalating to 180 mg daily, and achieved a partial response that is still ongoing, one year later. We highlight false-negative ALK mutation results when only plasma is used, particularly in early metastatic disease. We also discuss how the use of specific ALK resistance mutations to guide therapy is clinically relevant is being investigated.

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.

ALK L1196Q missense unknown ALK L1196Q lies within the protein kinase domain of the Alk protein (UniProt.org). L1196Q has been demonstrated to confer resistance to Alk inhibitors in the context of ALK rearrangements (PMID: 25749034, PMID: 33209633, PMID: 38290249), but has not been biochemically characterized and therefore, its effect on Alk protein function is unknown (PubMed, Apr 2025).
