    TPX-0131: A next generation macrocyclic ALK inhibitor that overcomes ALK resistant mutations refractory to current approved ALK inhibitors (Virtual Meeting II: E-Posters) -  May 16, 2020 - Abstract #AACRII2020AACR-II_3327;    
    Second generation ALK inhibitors alectinib, ceritinib, and brigatinib were able to overcome the majority of ALK resistant mutations (L1196M, G1269A and F1174L) acquired with crizotinib...Lorlatinib, a third generation ALK inhibitor, can overcome G1202R resistance with moderate IC50 values of 40 - 60 nM in cell-based assays...Taken together, TPX-0131 is a next generation ALK inhibitor that can overcome a broad spectrum of acquired resistance mutations, especially the G1202R solvent front mutation and compound mutations (e.g. L1196M/G1202R). The nonclinical pharmacology profile of TPX-0131 warrants further preclinical investigation.

    nCounter for detection of clinically relevant alterations in exosomes of non-small cell lung cancer cells and patients (Virtual Meeting II: E-Posters) -  May 16, 2020 - Abstract #AACRII2020AACR-II_2187;    
    Exosomes from a cell line established from a patient progressing to alectinib were also positive for EML4-ALKv1and showed high MET expression levels, while exosomes from the fusion-negative cell lines A549 and H23 tested negative. nCounter can detect ALK, RET and ROS1 fusion transcripts in exosomes purified from the blood of advanced NSCLC patients

    Journal:  Anaplastic lymphoma kinase regulates internalization of the dopamine D2 receptor. (Pubmed Central) -  May 15, 2020   
    The ALK inhibitor alectinib completely inhibited dopamine-induced D2R internalization...Dopamine activated protein kinase C in an ALK-dependent manner and a PKC inhibitor blocked dopamine D2 receptor internalization. These results indicate that ALK regulates dopamine D2 receptor trafficking, which has implications for psychiatric disorders involving dysregulated dopamine signaling.

    Review, Journal:  Oncogene-Addicted Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer: Treatment Opportunities and Future Perspectives. (Pubmed Central) -  May 14, 2020   
    Currently, osimertinib (which demonstrated to improve efficacy with a better tolerability in comparison with first-generation TKIs) is considered the best treatment option for patients affected by NSCLC harboring a common EGFR mutation...To date, alectinib is considered the best treatment option for these patients, with other newer agents upcoming...In this narrative review, the state of art of scientific literature about targeted therapy options in oncogene-addicted disease is summarized and critically discussed. We also aim to analyze future perspectives to maximize benefits for this subgroup of patients.

    Combination Therapy of GD2-Specific CAR-T Cells with Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors for Neuroblastoma () -  May 9, 2020 - Abstract #ASGCT2020ASGCT_25;    
    Alectinib synergistically enhances the cytotoxic activity of GD2-CAR-T cells by reducing the expression of PD-L1 in tumor cells, and may therefore be a promising therapeutic option for neuroblastoma when used in combination with GD2-CAR-T cells. Trametinib, on the other hand, completely inhibits the activity of GD2-CAR-T cells, which may make it useful as a safeguard for when serious adverse events such as off-target effects occur during CAR-T cell therapy.

    Furthermore, the increased ER and in-patient costs may substantiate the findings of the ALEX trial, notably higher liver toxicity and more nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea for crizotinib. There is not yet sufficient data on the newer ALK inhibitors, brigatinib and lorlatinib in the real-world.

    Journal:  Exploring the optimal use of alectinib. (Pubmed Central) -  Apr 22, 2020   
    Our results align with ALEX, confirming the clinical benefit of 600 mg of alectinib twice per day as a first-line treatment for ALK-positive non-small-cell lung cancer. No abstract available

    Retrospective data, Journal:  Comparative Efficacy of Targeted Therapies in Patients with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer: A Network Meta-Analysis of Clinical Trials. (Pubmed Central) -  Apr 15, 2020   
    Compared with chemotherapy, both ORR and PFS were significantly improved for afatinib, alectinib, and crizotinib, while only PFS was significantly improved for cabozantinib, ceritinib, gefitinib, and osimertinib...Cabozantinib and alectinib showed the highest probability for the first-line treatment ranking in ORR (62.5%) and PFS (87.5%), respectively. The current network meta-analysis showed the comprehensive evidence-based comparative efficacy of different types of targeted therapies, which would help clinicians use targeted therapies in clinical practice.

    Journal:  YAP1 mediates survival of ALK-rearranged lung cancer cells treated with alectinib via pro-apoptotic protein regulation. (Pubmed Central) -  Mar 25, 2020   
    Using patient-derived cell line models, we herein demonstrate that cancer cells survive a treatment with alectinib by activating Yes-associated protein 1 (YAP1), which mediates the expression of the anti-apoptosis factors Mcl-1 and Bcl-xL, and combinatorial inhibition against both YAP1 and ALK provides a longer tumor remission in ALK-rearranged xenografts when compared with alectinib monotherapy. These results suggest that the inhibition of YAP1 is a candidate for combinatorial therapy with ALK inhibitors to achieve complete remission in patients with ALK-rearranged lung cancer.
