Potential Therapeutic Strategy for EGFR-Mutant Lung Cancer With Concomitant EML4-ALK Rearrangement-Combination of EGFR Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors and ALK Inhibitors. (PubMed, JTO Clin Res Rep)
PC-9_v3a-gef and PC-9_v3b-gef cells were resistant to gefitinib and ALK inhibitors alone, but ALK inhibitors enhanced gefitinib-induced cytotoxicity. Furthermore, combination treatment with osimertinib and ceritinib caused a decrease in liver tumor size of the patient with liver metastases. Our data suggest that combination treatment with EGFR and ALK inhibitors can be a therapeutic strategy for treating NSCLC with concomitant EGFR mutation and EML4-ALK rearrangement.

Deep RNA sequencing revealed fusion junctional heterogeneity may predict crizotinib treatment efficacy in ALK-rearranged non-small cell lung cancer. (PubMed, J Thorac Oncol)
Intratumoral EML4-ALK isoforms may predict the efficacy of targeted therapy in ALK-rearranged NSCLC. Temporal changes of intratumoral fusion isoforms may result from differential selection pressures that a drug might have on one isoform over another. Larger studies on fusion heterogeneity using RNA sequencing are warranted.
