    Cost of Managing Brain Metastases in Patients with ALK+ aNSCLC with First-Line Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors (TKIs) in the UK (Exhibit Hall) -  Jul 25, 2023 - Abstract #IASLCWCLC2023IASLC_WCLC_2309;    
    This study demonstrates the direct relationship between the lower cumulative incidence of progression of BM and lower cost burden in patients with ALK+ NSCLC receiving 1L TKIs in the UK. Where data are available in patients without baseline BM, due to the lower 12-month and 24-month cumulative incidence of progression of BM with lorlatinib, its management cost PPY is lower than that of alectinib.

    Patients with advanced ALK-positive NSCLC have prolonged survival after the introduction of ALK TKIs with a median OS that exceeds 5 years when ALK TKIs are used in the first-line setting. Re-biopsies during treatment are needed to enhance our understanding of resistance mechanisms and the tumor dynamics that develop during ALK TKI therapy and to increase individualized management of this disease within precision medicine.

    Liquid Biopsy-based Umbrella Trial for Advanced NSCLC: Results of Phase 2 Plasma ALK-positive Cohort (A-Liquid) (Exhibit Hall) -  Jul 25, 2023 - Abstract #IASLCWCLC2023IASLC_WCLC_2306;    
    Although precision medicine based on liquid NGS remains challenging due to the low PPA for fusion genes, alectinib is active in highly selected NSCLC populations with ALK rearrangement detected by both tissue-based assays and liquid NGS. Additional analysis on resistance mechanisms using paired blood samples will be presented.

    Neoadjuvant Targeted Therapy for Resectable ALK-fusion Locally Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (Exhibit Hall) -  Jul 25, 2023 - Abstract #IASLCWCLC2023IASLC_WCLC_2187;    
    We enrolled 11patients from January 2019 to December 2022 at the Department of Thoracic Surgery II, Peking University Cancer Hospital & Institute with stage IIB-IIIB ALK-positive NSCLC who received Crizotinib or Alectinib as inductive treatment strategy before surgery. Targeted therapy is a feasible and well tolerated therapy, and it may be an optimal induction strategy for resectable ALK-rearranged locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer

    Sequencing Patterns and Treatment Effectiveness in ALK-positive aNSCLC Following First-Line Alectinib or Brigatinib (Exhibit Hall) -  Jul 25, 2023 - Abstract #IASLCWCLC2023IASLC_WCLC_1771;    
    Approximately one-third of patients did not receive a second-line treatment, mostly due to death. Coupled with the observation that treatment duration was shorter in second-line than first-line and median total time on sequential ALKi therapy was less than 3 years, the most efficacious treatment in ALK-positive aNSCLC should be used upfront.

    Comparative Efficacy and Safety of Lorlatinib vs Alectinib and Brigatinib Using Matching Adjusted Indirect Comparisons (MAIC) (Exhibit Hall) -  Jul 25, 2023 - Abstract #IASLCWCLC2023IASLC_WCLC_1766;    
    While the risk of grade 3+ AEs was higher with lorlatinib compared to alectinib (ALEX, ALESIA), there were no differences in other safety endpoints or compared to brigatinib. Overall, this study bolsters the totality of evidence on the comparative efficacy and safety of lorlatinib as a first-line treatment for ALK+ aNSCLC.

    PD-L1 Expression Status Was Not Associated with Efficacy of Alectinib in Patients with ALK-positive Lung Cancer (Exhibit Hall) -  Jul 25, 2023 - Abstract #IASLCWCLC2023IASLC_WCLC_1765;    
    Our study revealed that PD-L1 expression could not predict the efficacy of front-line alectinib therapy in ALK-positive NSCLC patients. Meanwhile, we also observed that patients with PD-L1 high expression had a trend of longer PFS, suggesting the PD-L1 expression is not a universal inferior biomarker for ALK-TKIs.

    Treatment Patterns and Economic Burden of Brain Metastases (BM) in Patients with ALK+ mNSCLC Receiving ALK TKIs (Exhibit Hall) -  Jul 25, 2023 - Abstract #IASLCWCLC2023IASLC_WCLC_1762;    
    BM diagnosis was associated with a high cost burden, with increases in PPPM total medical costs pre- vs post-BM. These results underscore the need for therapeutic strategies in 1L setting to delay or prevent BM occurrence and to lessen its burden among patients with ALK+ NSCLC.

    The progression rate was lower in alectinib than the crizotinib patients, although there were more patients with multiple metastases and brain metastases in the alectinib arm. The TGI-OS model based on unselected or PD-L1 selected NSCLC patients included in atezolizumab trials is externally validated to predict treatment effect (HR) in a biomarker-selected (ALK-positive) population included in alectinib ALEX trial suggesting that TGI-OS models may be treatment independent.

    We found that ALK TKIs were highly tolerable, and alectinib was associated with favorable survival outcomes with longer time to adverse events (AE) requiring medical interventions, disease progression, and death, in the context of real-world use. Proactive monitoring for adverse events such as rash, bradycardia, and hepatotoxicity may help further promote the safe and optimal use of ALK TKIs in the treatment of patients with aNSCLC.

    Journal:  ALESIA 5-Year Update: Alectinib at 600 mg Twice Daily Gives Lorlatinib a Run for Its Money in Asia. (Pubmed Central) -  Jul 13, 2023   
    Alectinib, a next-generation anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), has demonstrated superior progression-free survival over crizotinib with both 300 mg twice daily (J-ALEX) or 600 mg twice daily (ALEX, ALESIA) dosing in three pivotal clinical trials...Importantly, lorlatinib, another next generation ALK TKI, also achieved an impressive hazard ratio with a still immature PFS in all patients, including Asian patients, in a recent subgroup analysis after a median follow-up time of 36.7 months. We await the final mature PFS of lorlatinib overall and for Asian patients in the CROWN trial to see if lorlatinib will set a new standard.

    The therapeutic use of this class of medications still carries some risk because there are currently no pertinent guidelines or consensus recommendations for managing ADRs caused by ALK-TKIs in China. In order to improve the clinical management of ADRs with ALK-TKIs, the Chinese Society of Clinical Oncology (CSCO) Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Professional Committee led the discussion and summary of the incidence, diagnosis and grading standards, and prevention and treatment of ADRs caused by ALK-TKIs.

    Further research is warranted to examine the value of the opportunity cost threshold, capture the public's views on unfair differences in health, and estimate robust distributional weights incorporating the public's preferences. Finally, guidance from health technology assessment organisations, such as NICE, is needed regarding methods for DCEA construction and how they would interpret and incorporate those results in their decision making.

    Journal:  Alectinib rescue therapy in advanced ALK rearranged lung adenocarcinoma: a case report. (Pubmed Central) -  Jun 8, 2023   
    Alectinib is a highly selective tyrosine kinase inhibitor of anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) that is approved as first-line treatment in adult patients with ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and as second-line in patients previously treated with crizotinib, and has been shown in the literature to significantly prolong progression-free survival compared to chemotherapy in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer. The authors describe a clinical case of a 24-year-old woman with malignant massive pleural effusion caused by ALK rearranged pulmonary adenocarcinoma with pleural and pericardial metastasis, in which, despite a dramatic clinical debut, the correct and timely management of the diagnostic and therapeutic path allowed for extraordinary therapeutic success.

    Journal, Real-world evidence, Real-world:  Real-world therapeutic effectiveness of lorlatinib after alectinib in Japanese patients with ALK-positive NSCLC. (Pubmed Central) -  Jun 5, 2023   
    mDOTs of 147?days (95% CI, 113-242) and 244?days (95% CI, 109 to not reached) were reported with second-line and third- or later-line treatment, respectively. Consistent with clinical trial data, this real-world observational study supports data suggesting the effectiveness of lorlatinib after alectinib failure in Japanese patients.
