Abstract Text | The purposes of this study are to clarify the details of the ALK tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) resistance mechanism in rebiopsy cases and to predict novel resistance gene alterations using molecular dynamics simulation.A total of 21 patients with ALK-positive NSCLC who underwent a rebiopsy after ALK TKI failure were included in this analysis. ALK fluorescence in situ hybridization and reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction were performed with paired initial and rebiopsy tumor specimens.Nine patients had no known ALK resistance mechanisms. Four had ALK amplification. L1196M, I1171N, and G1269A, mutations that are known to indicate resistance to ALK TKIs, were detected in one patient each. Small cell carcinoma and sarcomatoid transition were found in one case each. L1196Q, P1094H, and exon 24 76-base pair insertion were detected after the second-generation ALK TKIs.The combination of a genetic analysis and a computational simulation model may make a prediction of resistance mechanisms for overcoming ALK TKI resistance, and the construction of a genomic and simulation fused database is important for the development of personalized medicine in this field. |
