Phase II basket study of brigatinib for ALK fusion-positive solid tumors: WJOG15221M/ALLBREAK (a decentralized clinical trial design). (PubMed, Future Oncol)
Due to rapid enrollment, the target sample size was expanded to 28 patients. The primary endpoint is objective response rate confirmed by central assessment; secondary endpoints include duration of response, progression-free survival, overall survival, and safety.Clinical trial registration: jRCT2041210148 (https://jrct.mhlw.go.jp).

Short-term response to alectinib and rapid progression in a lung squamous cell carcinoma patient harboring an EML4-ALK fusion: a case report. (PubMed, Transl Cancer Res)
The patient received two cycles of nab-paclitaxel and carboplatin, and repeated CT scan showed disease progression. Her treatment was subsequently changed to glumetinib plus iruplinalkib and she died less than one month later...Co-amplification of the multiple genes may be involved in aggressive disease and drug resistance, which should be considered in future clinical trials and clinical management. Early broad-panel next-generation sequencing testing in LUSCC patients who are never-smokers may help guide management for patients who have complex mutational profiles.

NGS-Based Mutation Profiling and PD-L1 Expression in NSCLC Patients: A Single-Centre Prospective Analysis. (PubMed, Turk Patoloji Derg)
The study underscores the importance of integrating NGS-based molecular testing with PD-L1 evaluation for personalised management of NSCLC. Distinct patterns of PD-L1 expression across molecular subtypes, particularly lower in EGFR-mutated tumours and higher in KRAS-mutated tumours, underscore the need for tailored therapeutic strategies and informed sequencing of targeted therapies and immunotherapies.

Immunohistochemistry-Based Screening for Targetable Kinase Alterations in Non-Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis with Juvenile Xanthogranuloma morphology. (PubMed, Virchows Arch)
These findings demonstrate that IHC-based screening followed by confirmatory FISH provides a rapid and cost-effective strategy for identifying cases of non-LCH with JXG morphology harboring actionable kinase alterations. Integration of IHC, FISH, and NGS represents a practical and complementary diagnostic strategy to guide precision therapy in this clinically diverse histiocytic disorder.
