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.

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
Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Gene and Protein and Gefitinib Sensitivity in Non–Small-Cell Lung Cancer
Federico Cappuzzo,Fred R. Hirsch,Elisa Rossi,Stefania Bartolini,Giovanni Luca Ceresoli,Lynne T. Bemis,Jerry Haney,Samir E. Witta,Kathleen D. Danenberg,I. Domenichini,Vienna Ludovini,Elisabetta Magrini,Vanesa Gregorc,Claudio Doglioni,Angelo Sidoni,Maurizio Tonato,Wilbur A. Franklin,Lucio Crinò,Paul A. Bunn,Marileila Varella-Garcia +19 more
TL;DR: High EGFR gene copy number identified by FISH may be an effective molecular predictor for gefitinib efficacy in advanced NSCLC and independent of EGFR assessment method, EGFR+/P-Akt+ patients had a statistically significantly better outcome than EGFR-, P- akt-, or EGFR-/Akt- patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Crizotinib in ROS1-Rearranged Non–Small-Cell Lung Cancer
Alice T. Shaw,Sai-Hong Ignatius Ou,Yung-Jue Bang,D. Ross Camidge,Benjamin Solomon,Ravi Salgia,Gregory J. Riely,Marileila Varella-Garcia,Geoffrey I. Shapiro,Daniel B. Costa,Robert C. Doebele,Long P. Le,Zongli Zheng,Zongli Zheng,Weiwei Tan,Patricia Stephenson,S. Martin Shreeve,L. Tye,James G. Christensen,Keith D. Wilner,Jeffrey W. Clark,A. John Iafrate +21 more
TL;DR: Crizotinib showed marked antitumor activity in patients with advanced ROS1-rearranged NSCLC, and ROS1 rearrangement defines a second molecular subgroup of NSCLCs for which crizotin ib is highly active.
Journal ArticleDOI
Epidermal growth factor receptor in non-small-cell lung carcinomas: correlation between gene copy number and protein expression and impact on prognosis.
Fred R. Hirsch,Marileila Varella-Garcia,Paul A. Bunn,Michael V. Di Maria,Robert Veve,Roy M. Bremnes,Anna E. Barón,Chan Zeng,Wilbur A. Franklin +8 more
TL;DR: EGFR overexpression is frequent in NSCLC, is most prominent in SCC, and correlates with increased gene copy number per cell, and high gene copy numbers per cell showed a trend toward poor prognosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The Lung Cancer Mutation Consortium was formed to perform multiplexed assays testing adenocarcinomas of the lung for drivers in 10 genes to enable clinicians to select targeted treatments and enroll patients into clinical trials.
