    Journal:  ALK testing methods: Is there a winner or loser? (Pubmed Central) -  Mar 20, 2020   
    However, it was revealed that patients with IHC-positivity and FISH-negativity may respond to alectinib, indicating that IHC can be used as a stand-alone method from a clinical standpoint for the identification of patients eligible for treatment with ALK inhibitors. In addition, differences between ALK variants have been reported to affect the prognosis and efficacy of ALK inhibitor-based treatments, and RT-PCR will likely increase in importance as a complementary tool.

    Granulocyte Colony-Stimulating Factor-Producing Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase-Positive Lung Cancer (PENNSYLVANIA CONVENTION CENTER, Hall D-E (200 Level), Area A) -  Mar 15, 2020 - Abstract #ATS2020ATS_8775;    
    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.

    Alectinib Induced Interstitial Pneumonitis / ILD (PENNSYLVANIA CONVENTION CENTER, Hall D-E (200 Level), Area A) -  Mar 15, 2020 - Abstract #ATS2020ATS_6413;    
    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.

    Although, there have been reports of ILD associated with ALK inhibitors, alectinib induced interstitial pneumonitis/ILD is not very common. No abstract available
  • ||||||||||  [VIRTUAL] A PAN-EUROPEAN HTA, A SINGLE US PAYER? () -  Mar 8, 2020 - Abstract #ISPOR2020ISPOR_1468;    
    Despite political pressure at the European level there seems little appetite to harmonize HTA nationally. The lack of historical HTA across the US payer landscape is one less hurdle for proponents of a single payer system in the US.

    Observational data, Retrospective data, Journal:  Real Clinical Practice in ALK-rearranged NSCLC Patients: A Retrospective Observational Study. (Pubmed Central) -  Feb 21, 2020   
    In crizotinib-refractory ALK + NSCLC patients, relative efficacy estimates suggest brigatinib may have prolonged PFS and OS vs ceritinib and prolonged PFS vs alectinib. By arrangement of treatment such as treatment sequence of ALK-TKI and chemotherapy regimen, it might be possible to obtain a treatment outcome almost equivalent to those of clinical trials even in real clinical practice.

    Journal, IO Biomarker:  Overexpression of CD 133 and BCL-2 in non-small cell lung cancer with neuroendocrine differentiation after transformation in ALK rearrangement-positive adenocarcinoma. (Pubmed Central) -  Feb 14, 2020   
    We report a case of transformation of ALK rearrangement-positive adenocarcinoma to NSCLC with neuroendocrine differentiation during alectinib therapy...The immunohistochemical findings of these markers associated with cancer stem-like cells and/or neuroendocrine differentiation suggest that cancer stem cells play a role in the mechanisms of histological transformation and acquired resistance of ALK rearrangement-positive cancer. To our knowledge, this is the first report to suggest an association between cancer stem-like cells and histological transformation in ALK rearrangement-positive lung cancer.

    Clinical, Journal:  Selective RET Kinase Inhibition for Patients with RET-Altered Cancers. (Pubmed Central) -  Dec 25, 2019   
    A second patient with KIF5B-RET fusion-positive lung cancer, acquired resistance to alectinib and symptomatic brain metastases experienced a dramatic response in the brain, and her symptoms resolved. These results provide proof-of-concept of the clinical actionability of RET alterations, and identify selective RET inhibition by LOXO-292 as a promising treatment in heavily pretreated, multikinase inhibitor-experienced patients with diverse RET-altered tumors.

    Some of them were approved after the failure of crizotinib (ceritinib, alectinib, brigatinib and lorlatinib) and in first line setting (ceritinib, alectinib and brigatinib) while others are still under evaluation for TKI-naive patients such as lorlatinib, ensartinib and entrectinib. In this review we will discuss the most recent results of new TKIs in order to describe a fast growing therapeutic landscape in this setting.
