1 Clinical Activity of Alectinib in Advanced RET-Rearranged Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer. alectinib ret proto-oncogene Homo sapiens
2 Alectinib is an anaplastic lymphoma kinase tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) that also has anti-RET activity in vitro. alectinib ret proto-oncogene Homo sapiens
3 The clinical activity of alectinib in patients with RET-rearranged NSCLC has not yet been reported. alectinib ret proto-oncogene Homo sapiens
4 METHODS: We have described four patients with advanced RET-rearranged NSCLC who were treated with alectinib (600 mg twice daily [n = 3] or 900 mg twice daily [n = 1]) as part of single-patient compassionate use protocols or off-label use of the commercially available drug. alectinib ret proto-oncogene Homo sapiens
5 A fourth patient who was RET TKI-naive had primary progression while receiving alectinib. alectinib ret proto-oncogene Homo sapiens
6 CONCLUSIONS: Alectinib demonstrated preliminary antitumor activity in patients with advanced RET-rearranged NSCLC, most of whom had received prior RET inhibitors. alectinib ret proto-oncogene Homo sapiens
7 CONCLUSIONS: Alectinib demonstrated preliminary antitumor activity in patients with advanced RET-rearranged NSCLC, most of whom had received prior RET inhibitors. alectinib ret proto-oncogene Homo sapiens
8 Larger prospective studies with longer follow-up are needed to assess the efficacy of alectinib in RET-rearranged NSCLC and other RET-driven malignancies. alectinib ret proto-oncogene Homo sapiens
