Title:

Mixed responses to first-line alectinib in non-small cell lung cancer patients with rare ALK gene fusions: A case series and literature review

Published date:

Excerpt:
Herein, two advanced NSCLC patients….Molecular profiling using next-generation sequencing (NGS) further revealed a striatin (STRN)-ALK fusion in the first patient accompanied by MET amplification, and a LIM domain only protein 7 (LMO7)-ALK fusion in another patient without any other known oncogenic alterations. Both patients demonstrated improved survival after they switched to second-line crizotinib (PFS: 11 months) and ensartinib (PFS: 18 months), respectively, up till the last follow-up assessment.
