    Clinical, Journal:  Intracranial remission with brigatinib rechallenge as fifth-line ALK inhibition therapy in a lung cancer patient. (Pubmed Central) -  Sep 19, 2020   
    In 2012, ALK-directed targeted therapy became available, and crizotinib was administered...Brigatinib induced partial remission and was followed by lorlatinib and, later on, alectinib, when new metastases arose in the spinal cord and brain...All of the central nervous system relapses were symptomatic, with symptoms resolved rapidly during treatment. This case of a patient with EML4-ALK-rearranged non-small-cell lung cancer shows that sequential treatment with next-generation ALK tyrosine kinase inhibitors, including rechallenge, can induce profound remission even in heavily pretreated patients, especially if the central nervous system is the site of progression.

    Journal:  Treatment with Next-Generation ALK Inhibitors Fuels Plasma ALK Mutation Diversity. (Pubmed Central) -  Sep 13, 2020   
    ALK resistance mutations increase with each successive generation of ALK TKI and may be underestimated by tumor genotyping. Sequential treatment with increasingly potent ALK TKIs may promote acquisition of ALK resistance mutations leading to treatment-refractory compound ALK mutations.

    Several more expensive and time-consuming methods are also available nowadays which have the advantage to detect even rarer uncommon ALK fusion variants and mutations in tumour or blood samples. A review of the evolving testing-treatment landscape is needed to highlight the importance of properly diagnosing and treating this group of patients.
