    Journal:  ALK Fusions in a Wide Variety of Tumor Types Respond to Anti-ALK Targeted Therapy. (Pubmed Central) -  Jul 25, 2018   
    Patients whose tumors harbor ALK rearrangements or fusions respond to treatment with crizotinib and alectinib, including tumors not normally associated with ALK mutations, such as non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis or renal cell carcinoma. Comprehensive genomic profiling using next-generation sequencing can detect targetable ALK fusions irrespective of tumor type or fusions partner.

    Clinical, Journal:  Personalized Medicine Tackles Clinical Resistance: Alectinib in ALK-positive NSCLC Progressing on First Generation ALK Inhibitor. (Pubmed Central) -  Jan 21, 2018   
    Over the last 2 years, our therapeutic armamentarium against genomically-defined subgroups of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has extended to patients with acquired resistance to front-line targeted therapy. Alectinib (Alecensa®, CH5424802), a second-generation, orally active, potent and highly selective inhibitor of anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK), is indicated for patients with metastatic, ALK rearrangement-positive NSCLC whose disease has worsened after treatment with crizotinib or who became intolerant of the drug and it received orphan drug designation, breakthrough therapy designation, priority review status, and accelerated approval by the FDA.

    Journal:  Coupling an EML4-ALK-centric interactome with RNA interference identifies sensitizers to ALK inhibitors. (Pubmed Central) -  Nov 30, 2017   
    Among these, knocking down fibroblast growth factor receptor substrate 2 (FRS2) or coiled-coil and C2 domain-containing protein 1A (CC2D1A), both scaffolding proteins, sensitized multiple ALK fusion cell lines to the ALK inhibitors crizotinib and alectinib. Collectively, our data set provides a resource that enhances our understanding of signaling and drug resistance networks consequent to ALK fusions and identifies potential targets to improve the efficacy of ALK inhibitors in patients.

    In parallel, development of more selective, potent RET TKIs is warranted. Initiation date: Jul 2017 --> Jan 2018

    Of those patients, 53 received one or more RET tyrosine kinase inhibitors in sequence: cabozantinib (21 patients), vandetanib (11 patients), sunitinib (10 patients), sorafenib (two patients), alectinib (two patients), lenvatinib (two patients), nintedanib (two patients), ponatinib (two patients), and regorafenib (one patient)...Conclusion Available multikinase inhibitors had limited activity in patients with RET-rearranged NSCLC in this retrospective study. Further investigation of the biology of RET-rearranged lung cancers and identification of new targeted therapeutics will be required to improve outcomes for these patients.

    Review, Journal:  The accelerated path of ceritinib: Translating pre-clinical development into clinical efficacy. (Pubmed Central) -  Aug 10, 2017   
    The discovery of anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)-rearranged non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in 2007 led to the development and subsequent approval of the ALK inhibitor crizotinib in 2011...There is now a next generation of ALK inhibitors, including two that have been approved-ceritinib and alectinib-and others that are in development-brigatinib, lorlatinib and X-396...Selective gastrointestinal toxicity of ceritinib, such as diarrhea, nausea and vomiting is generally manageable with prophylactic medication and prompt dose reduction or interruption. Future progress in treating ALK+ NSCLC will focus on determining the optimal sequencing of therapies and strategies to overcome acquired resistance, an ongoing challenge in treating ALK-mutation-driven tumors.
