    [VIRTUAL] A Case of Alectinib Cutaneous Toxicity and Results of a Desensitization Protocol () -  Aug 19, 2020 - Abstract #AVAHO2020AVAHO_14;    
    His rash worsened resulting in a drug hold, treatment with oral prednisone, and a dose reductionto 300mg daily...Nonetheless, lorlatinib was discontinuedafter 4 weeks due to other intolerable side effects and hypertriglyceridemia.Pembrolizumab has a terminal half-life of 22 days with steady state reached at 16 weeks with every 3-week dosing...If hypersensitivityrecurs, switching to an alternate ALK TKI is warranted. However, if immunotherapy has been previouslyadministered without time for adequate washout, no TKI therapy may be tolerable.

    Although the absorption, distribution, and excretion of anaplastic lymphoma kinase inhibitors are regulated by drug transporters, their transporter-mediated pharmacokinetics have not yet been elucidated in detail in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer. Further research to analyze the contribution of drug transporters to the pharmacokinetics of anaplastic lymphoma kinase inhibitors in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer will be helpful for understanding the mechanisms of the inter-individual differences in the pharmacokinetics of anaplastic lymphoma kinase inhibitors.

    [VIRTUAL] Granulocyte Colony-Stimulating Factor-Producing Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase-Positive Lung Cancer (ATS 2020 Virtual) -  Jul 6, 2020 - Abstract #ATSI2020ATS-I_6124;    
    Gemcitabine/vinorelbine chemotherapy was administered but the lung cancer eventually exacerbated and the patient died 5 months after the first visit...Therefore, a marked increase in the WBC count at initial diagnosis can be indicative of G-CSF-producing lung cancer. Surgical resection should be considered as a first option in case of diagnosed G-CSF-producing lung cancer, because although ALK is positive, the response to medical treatment is expected to be poor.

    [VIRTUAL] Alectinib Induced Interstitial Pneumonitis / ILD (ATS 2020 Virtual) -  Jul 6, 2020 - Abstract #ATSI2020ATS-I_3990;    
    This case highlights the importance of looking for drug-induced lung injury, detecting them early and intervening appropriately to prevent significant lung injury. Although, there have been reports of ILD associated with ALK inhibitors, alectinib induced interstitial pneumonitis/ILD is not very common.
  • ||||||||||  Review, Journal:  Therapeutic strategies in advanced ALK positive non-small cell lung cancer (Pubmed Central) -  Jun 28, 2020   
    The emergence of crizotinib drug resistance has prompted the development of next generation drugs including ceritinb, alectinib, brigatinib and lorlatinib. The ability to quickly develop targeted therapies against specific oncogenic drivers will require close co-operation between pathologists, pulmonologists and oncologists in the future to keep pace with drug discoveries and to define optimal therapeutic strategies.
  • ||||||||||  Journal:  Drug discovery targeting anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK). (Pubmed Central) -  Jun 26, 2020   
    This review provides an overview of the physiological and biological functions of ALK, the discovery and development of ALK drugs by focusing on their chemotypes, inhibitory activity, selectivity and resistance, as well as current status. Additionally, the mechanism of drug resistance and potential therapeutic strategies to overcome drug resistance are also summarized.
