Navigating resistance to ALK inhibitors in the Lorlatinib Era: a comprehensive perspective on NSCLC.
Expert Review of Anticancer Therapy 2024 April 18
INTRODUCTION: The emergence of anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) rearrangements in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has revolutionized targeted therapy. This dynamic landscape, featuring novel ALK inhibitors and combination therapies, necessitates a profound understanding of resistance mechanisms for effective treatment strategies. Recognizing two primary categories - on-target and off-target resistance - underscores the need for comprehensive assessment.
AREAS COVERED: This review delves into the intricacies of resistance to ALK inhibitors, exploring complexities in identification and management. Molecular testing, pivotal for early detection and accurate diagnosis, forms the foundation for patient stratification and resistance management. The literature search methodology involved comprehensive exploration of Pubmed and Embase. The multifaceted perspective encompasses new therapeutic horizons, ongoing clinical trials, and their clinical implications post the recent approval of lorlatinib.
EXPERT OPINION: Our expert opinion encapsulates the critical importance of understanding resistance mechanisms in the context of ALK inhibitors for shaping successful treatment approaches. With a focus on molecular testing and comprehensive assessment, this review contributes valuable insights to the evolving landscape of NSCLC therapy.
