To conduct an indirect treatment comparison (ITC) of the relative efficacy of brigatinib and alectinib for progression-free survival in people with tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI)-naive -positive non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Final aggregate and patient-level data from the ALTA-1L trial comparing brigatinib to crizotinib and published aggregate data from ALEX (comparing alectinib to crizotinib) were contrasted using Bucher ITC and matching-adjusted indirect comparisons (MAICs). No statistically significant differences were identified between brigatinib and alectinib in reducing the risk of disease progression overall and in patients with baseline central nervous system metastases. Brigatinib appeared similar to alectinib in reducing risk of disease progression for people with TKI-naive -positive NSCLC.

Targeted protein degradation has emerged as a novel therapeutic paradigm in drug discovery. Despite the FDA approval of anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) inhibitors, the pursuit of compounds with enhanced potency and prolonged efficacy remains crucial to mitigate inevitable adverse effects. In this context, we endeavored to develop ALK degraders utilizing FDA-approved ALK inhibitors-crizotinib, ceritinib, brigatinib, and alectinib-as ALK binders, along with 4-methoxyphenylfumarate as a covalent handle to bind to RNF126 E3 ligase.

The anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) gene plays crucial roles in both normal brain development and oncogenesis, particularly in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Metastatic ALK-positive NSCLC is characterized by ALK tyrosine kinase domain rearrangements, prompting the use of ALK tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) to target the mutation. While first-line treatment options include alectinib, brigatinib, and lorlatinib per National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines, therapeutic challenges arise in cases of disease progression.

A 40-year-old male with EML4-ALK (E6:A20) fusion variant 3 and previously unreported PLEKHA7-ALK (P3:A20) fusion in lung adenocarcinoma exhibited resistance to alectinib and chemotherapy. Subsequent next-generation sequencing (NGS) from the plasma specimen revealed the co-existing mutation in the KEAP1 gene, which may represent an intrinsic resistance to ALK-TKI. Furthermore, the presence of double fusion PLEKHA7-ALK (P3:A20) may also have played a critical role in the resistance to alectinib.

Introduction: Patients with anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)-rearranged non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are at increased risk of central nervous system (CNS) metastasis at initial diagnosis and throughout treatment. In a phase 3 trial, lorlatinib, a third-generation ALK tyrosine kinase inhibitor, significantly improved progression-free survival. In further analysis, lorlatinib revealed superior intracranial efficacy and prolonged time to intracranial progression compared with crizotinib.

Background: Most patients with advanced anaplastic lymphoma kinase ()-rearranged (+) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) experience prolonged response to second-generation (2G) ALK-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). Herein, we present a case of metastatic + NSCLC rapidly progressing on first-line treatment due to amplification of the mesenchymal-epithelial transition factor () gene, which is a still elusive and underrecognized mechanism of primary resistance to ALK-TKIs.

Case Description: A 43-year-old, female diagnosed with T4N3M1c NSCLC harboring the echinoderm microtubule-associated protein-like 4 () fusion variant 1 ( v.
