Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase Inhibition in Non–Small-Cell Lung Cancer
Eunice L. Kwak,Yung-Jue Bang,D. Ross Camidge,Alice T. Shaw,Benjamin Solomon,Robert G. Maki,Sai-Hong Ignatius Ou,Bruce J. Dezube,Pasi A. Jänne,Daniel B. Costa,Marileila Varella-Garcia,Woo-Ho Kim,Thomas J. Lynch,Panos Fidias,Hannah Stubbs,Jeffrey A. Engelman,Lecia V. Sequist,Weiwei Tan,Leena Gandhi,Mari Mino-Kenudson,Greg C. Wei,S. Martin Shreeve,Mark J. Ratain,Jeffrey Settleman,James G. Christensen,Daniel A. Haber,Keith D. Wilner,Ravi Salgia,Geoffrey I. Shapiro,Jeffrey W. Clark,A. John Iafrate +30 more
TL;DR: The inhibition of ALK in lung tumors with the ALK rearrangement resulted in tumor shrinkage or stable disease in most patients, and the drug resulted in grade 1 or 2 gastrointestinal side effects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genotypic and Histological Evolution of Lung Cancers Acquiring Resistance to EGFR Inhibitors
Lecia V. Sequist,Belinda A. Waltman,Dora Dias-Santagata,Subba R. Digumarthy,Alexa B. Turke,Panos Fidias,Kristin Bergethon,Alice T. Shaw,Scott N. Gettinger,Arjola K. Cosper,Sara Akhavanfard,Rebecca S. Heist,Jennifer S. Temel,James G. Christensen,John C. Wain,Thomas J. Lynch,Kathy Vernovsky,Eugene J. Mark,Michael Lanuti,A. John Iafrate,Mari Mino-Kenudson,Jeffrey A. Engelman +21 more
TL;DR: Detailed genetic and histological analysis of 37 patients with drug-resistant non–small cell lung cancers carrying EGFR mutations provides new insights into the shifting sands of drug resistance evolution in lung cancers and suggests that serial biopsies may be essential in the quest to reverse or even prevent the development ofdrug resistance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Detection of large-scale variation in the human genome.
A. John Iafrate,Lars Feuk,Miguel Rivera,Miguel Rivera,Marc L. Listewnik,Patricia K. Donahoe,Ying Qi,Stephen W. Scherer,Charles Lee,Charles Lee +9 more
TL;DR: This article identified 255 loci across the human genome that contain genomic imbalances among unrelated individuals, and revealed that half of these regions overlap with genes, and many coincide with segmental duplications or gaps in human genome assembly.
Journal ArticleDOI
GUIDE-seq enables genome-wide profiling of off-target cleavage by CRISPR-Cas nucleases
Shengdar Q. Tsai,Zongli Zheng,Nhu T. Nguyen,Matthew Liebers,Ved V Topkar,Vishal Thapar,Nicolas Wyvekens,Cyd Khayter,A. John Iafrate,Long P. Le,Martin J. Aryee,J. Keith Joung +11 more
TL;DR: The experiments define the most rigorous framework for genome-wide identification of RGN off-target effects to date and provide a method for evaluating the safety of these nucleases before clinical use.
Journal ArticleDOI
Clinical Features and Outcome of Patients With Non–Small-Cell Lung Cancer Who Harbor EML4-ALK
Alice T. Shaw,Beow Y. Yeap,Mari Mino-Kenudson,Subba R. Digumarthy,Daniel B. Costa,Rebecca S. Heist,Benjamin Solomon,Hannah Stubbs,Sonal Admane,Ultan McDermott,Jeffrey Settleman,Susumu Kobayashi,Eugene J. Mark,Scott J. Rodig,Lucian R. Chirieac,Eunice L. Kwak,Thomas J. Lynch,A. John Iafrate +17 more
TL;DR: EML4-ALK defines a molecular subset of NSCLC with distinct clinical characteristics and patients who harbor this mutation do not benefit from EGFR TKIs and should be directed to trials of ALK-targeted agents.
