Abstract Text Acquired secondary mutations in the anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) gene have been identified in ALK-rearranged non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients who are resistant to treatment with the ALK inhibitor crizotinib. We sought to uncover novel mutations that contribute to resistance in these patients.Following clinical diagnosis and development of crizotinib treatment resistance, tissue and ctDNA samples were obtained from the 60-year-old patient and subjected to next-generation sequencing for identification of mutations contributing to drug resistance.We identified a novel acquired NSCLC ALK G1128A mutation in the ALK + NSCLC patient who progressed on crizotinib after a short partial response to the drug. This mutation, ALK G1128A, is located at the glycine loop (the P-loop) of the ALK tyrosine kinase domain. As a gain-of-function mutation, ALK G1128A increases kinase activity and transformation ability, perhaps conferring resistance to crizotinib.This case further illustrates the importance of comprehensive genomic profiling of resistant tumors for tailoring treatment decisions after disease progression on crizotinib in ALK + NSCLC in the era of rapidly developing new-generation ALK inhibitors and other therapeutic strategies.

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.
