Abstract
ALK Translocated Non-small Cell Lung Cancer
Dr. Jacky Yu-Chung Li, Hong Kong United Oncology Centre
Approximately 3%–5% of patients with NSCLC have oncogenic rearrangements in the anaplastic lymphoma kinase gene (ALK). Crizotinib is effective in ALK-positive (ALK+) NSCLC, but most patients experience disease progression on crizotinib caused by acquired ALK resistance mutations, secondary driver pathways, or poor central nervous system (CNS) drug penetration. After crizotinib, next-line treatment with second-generation ALK inhibitors ceritinib and alectinib, and third-generation inhibitor lorlatinib, is associated with median progression-free survival (PFS) of less than 1 year. Brigatinib is a next-generation oral ALK inhibitor approved in the United States and European Union for the treatment of metastatic ALK+ NSCLC patients with progressive disease on or with intolerance to crizotinib. It demonstrated an PFS of over 16 months and become preferred choice in the post-crizotinib setting.
