Journal: The targetable kinase PIM1 drives ALK inhibitor resistance in high-risk neuroblastoma independent of MYCN status. (Pubmed Central) - Mar 3, 2020 Knockdown of PIM1 sensitizes cells of differing MYCN status to ALK inhibitors, and in patient-derived xenografts of high-risk NB harboring ALK mutations, the combination of the ALK inhibitor ceritinib and PIM1 inhibitor AZD1208 shows significantly enhanced anti-tumor efficacy relative to single agents. These data confirm that PIM1 overexpression decreases sensitivity to ALK inhibitors in NB, and suggests that combined front-line inhibition of ALK and PIM1 is a viable strategy for the treatment of ALK-positive NB independent of MYCN status.

Biomarker, Journal: IRS2 Amplification as a Predictive Biomarker in Response to Ceritinib in Small Cell Lung Cancer. (Pubmed Central) - Feb 27, 2020 In this study, we present that IRS2 amplification and/or expression serve as preclinical implications for a novel therapeutic target in SCLC progression. Furthermore, we suggest that insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) receptor inhibitor-based therapy could be used for treating SCLC with IRS2 amplification.

(Pubmed Central) - Feb 7, 2020 This invasive approach, besides documenting for the first time a sarcoid-like reaction to ALK inhibitors, allowed to revert the radiological diagnosis and maintain lorlatinib, for the best patient outcome. The pragmatic relevance of these findings suggests a careful attitude towards the interpretation of radiologic patterns of disease progression in patients under TKI.

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.

Ceritinib was able to abrogate the proliferation of PhKh1 cells and blocked the phosphorylation of IGF1R and AKT. (4) IGF1R is as an attractive target for the development of new therapy protocols for HGNET-BCOR patients, which may include ceritinib and vinblastine.
