Excerpt:
Epithelioid inflammatory myofibroblastic sarcoma (eIMS)...Xenografts were validated by confirmation of RANBP2-ALK rearrangement, perinuclear ALK localisation and CD30 expression. Although brentuximab-vedotin (BV) demonstrated single-agent activity, tumours regrew during BV therapy. BV resistance was associated with reduced CD30 expression and induction of ABCB1.
