The acquired resistance to ALK tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in ALK-rearranged NSCLC is associated with poor survival outcomes and poses distinct clinical challenges. It is essential to develop potential therapeutic strategies for overcoming resistance.
Here, we first report a female lung adenocarcinoma patient with an acquired ALK resistance mutation (ALK 11171N) who was treated with ensartinib. Her symptoms significantly improved after only 20 days, and with a side effect of mild rash. Follow-up images observed no further brain metastases after 3 months.
This treatment may provide a new therapeutic strategy for ALK TKIs resistant patients, especially in position 1171 of ALK exon20.
ALK 酪氨酸激酶抑制剂(TKIs)获得性耐药与 ALK 重排 NSCLC 的不良生存结局相关,并带来了明显的临床挑战。因此,开发克服耐药的潜在治疗策略至关重要。
在此,我们首次报道了一例接受恩沙替尼治疗的获得性 ALK 耐药突变(ALK 11171N)的女性肺腺癌患者。她在仅接受 20 天治疗后症状显著改善,且仅有轻度皮疹的副作用。3 个月后随访图像观察到无进一步脑转移。
这种治疗方法可能为 ALK TKI 耐药患者提供新的治疗策略,特别是在 ALK 外显子 20 的 1171 位置。
