Abstract Text | The emergence of acquired anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) resistant mutations is a common molecular mechanism underpinning disease progression during crizotinib treatment of ALK-positive (ALK+) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. Identifying acquired resistance mutations in ALK is paramount for tailoring future therapy with second generation ALK inhibitors and beyond. Comprehensive genomic profiling using hybrid-capture next generation sequencing has been successful in identifying acquired ALK resistance mutations. Here we described the emergence of an ALK F1245C mutation in an advanced ALK+ NSCLC patient (EML4-ALK variant 3a/b) who developed slow disease progression after a durable response to crizotinib. The patient was eventually switched to ceritinib with on-going clinical response. This is the first patient report that ALK F1245C is an acquired resistance mutation to crizotinib that can be overcome by ceritinib. |

EML4 - ALK ALK F1245C | lung non-small cell carcinoma | sensitive | Ceritinib | Case Reports/Case Series | Actionable | In a clinical case study, a non-small cell lung cancer patient harboring EML4-ALK variant 3 that demonstrated resistance to treatment with Xalkori (crizotinib) after acquisition of ALK F1245C, achieved a complete radiographic response with no evidence of progression at 6 months following treatment with Zykadia (ceritinib) (PMID: 26775591). | 26775591 |
EML4 - ALK ALK F1245C | lung non-small cell carcinoma | predicted - resistant | Crizotinib | Case Reports/Case Series | Actionable | In a clinical case study, a non-small cell lung cancer patient harboring EML4-ALK variant 3 demonstrated an initial response to treatment with Xalkori (crizotinib), but progressed after 27 months and was found to have acquired ALK F1245C (PMID: 26775591). | 26775591 |
