    Journal:  Attenuated isolated 3' signal: A highly challenging therapy relevant ALK FISH pattern in NSCLC. (Pubmed Central) -  Apr 13, 2021   
    Our results emphasize the importance of extensive exploration of the genetic background of any unexpected FISH finding to avoid false diagnosis. This enables clinicians to indicate the adequate therapy with higher efficiency for patients suffering from NSCLC.

    Clinical, Journal:  A case of primary pulmonary atypical carcinoid with EML4-ALK rearrangement. (Pubmed Central) -  Mar 30, 2021   
    This article reviewed the clinical significance and drug resistance mechanism of ALK rearrangement in lung cancer. We also discussed recent and ongoing researches and applications of ALK-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (ALK-TKIs).

    The I117N resistance mutation in patients with the ALK mutation treated with alectinib is overcome by ceritinib...This therapeutic option blocks the PD-1 receptor on the surface of T or B lymphocytes or PD-L1 located on cancer cells with an applicable antibody. Based on clinical trials, pembrolizumab and all antibodies are included in the treatment of non-small cell lung carcinoma with CNS metastases.

    These factors can result in increased risks for serious adverse events or can lead to reduced therapeutic effects of ALK-TKIs. This review characterizes and summarizes the pharmacokinetic parameters and drug--drug interactions associated with ALK-TKIs to provide specific recommendations for oncologists and clinical pharmacists when prescribing ALK-TKIs.

    Review, Journal:  Novel Multitarget Therapies for Lung Cancer and Respiratory Disease. (Pubmed Central) -  Mar 12, 2021   
    Nintedanib is a multiple tyrosine kinase inhibitor that targets FGFR, PDGFR, and VEGFR. In this review, we summarize the mechanisms of action of multitarget therapies and report the results of the latest clinical trials.

    [VIRTUAL] TPX-0131, a potent inhibitor of wild type ALK and a broad spectrum of both single and compound ALK resistance mutations () -  Mar 11, 2021 - Abstract #AACR2021AACR_395;    
    In contrast, lorlatinib (5 mg/kg BID) caused 31% TGI in the G1202R/L1198F model and did not have statistically significant TGI in the G1202R/L1196M model. Taken together, TPX-0131 is a next generation ALK inhibitor that has preclinical potency against WT ALK as well as a broad spectrum of acquired resistance mutations, especially compound mutations, which currently lack any effective ALK inhibitor therapy.

    Journal:  Metformin reduces HGF-induced resistance to alectinib via the inhibition of Gab1. (Pubmed Central) -  Mar 10, 2021   
    The antidiabetic drug metformin combined with alectinib overcame alectinib resistance triggered by HGF/MET through disrupting the complex between MET and Gab1, thereby inhibiting Gab1 phosphorylation and the activation of downstream signal transduction pathways. These results suggest that metformin combined with alectinib may be useful for overcoming alectinib resistance induced by the activation of the HGF/MET signalling pathway and improving the efficacy of alectinib.

    Journal:  Gilteritinib overcomes lorlatinib resistance in ALK-rearranged cancer. (Pubmed Central) -  Mar 4, 2021   
    However, the relapsed tumor was markedly shrunk after switching to the gilteritinib in vivo model. In addition, gilteritinib was effective against NTRK-rearranged cancers including entrectinib-resistant NTRK1 G667C-mutant and ROS1 fusion-positive cancer.

    Journal:  Binge-Like Ethanol Drinking Activates ALK Signaling and Increases the Expression of STAT3 Target Genes in the Mouse Hippocampus and Prefrontal Cortex. (Pubmed Central) -  Mar 2, 2021   
    We further demonstrated by qPCR that expression of the putative STAT3 genes Nr1h2, Smarcc1, Smarca4, and Gpnmb were increased in either the PFC or HPC after binge-like drinking. Together, these results indicate activation of the ALK-STAT3 signaling pathway in the brain after binge-like ethanol consumption, identify putative novel ethanol-responsive STAT3 target genes, and suggest that STAT3 inhibition may be a potential method to reduce binge drinking in humans.

    [VIRTUAL] Predictors of treatment response in ALK-positive metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (ePoster Display) -  Feb 24, 2021 - Abstract #ELCC2021ELCC_370;    
    Also, we found the cut-off level of ALK positivity ratio in tumor cells for the response was 33% (p = 0.002, AUC:0.740, sensitivity 57.5%, specificity 78.3%).Conclusions In this study, we determined the real-life efficiency of ALK inhibitors in patients with ALK-positive NSCLC. We found that the high ALK positivity ratio, female gender, and having under three metastatic sites were positive predictive factors of ALK inhibitors’ response
