Secondary Mutations at I1171 in the ALK Gene Confer Resistance to Both Crizotinib and Alectinib
Excerpt:
In addition to the novel finding of mutations at I1171 in ALK-rearranged patients, it is intriguing that mutations at I1171 confer resistance to both crizotinib and alectinib, which is a representative second-generation ALK inhibitor.
I1171 missense mutation (particularly I1171N) is a common resistance mutation in ALK-positive NSCLC patients who have progressive disease while on alectinib and is sensitive to ceritinib
Excerpt:
This is the fifth patient case to date demonstrating that ALK I1171 mutation confers resistance to alectinib and the second reported case of ALK I1171 mutation being sensitivity to ceritinib.
