Resensitization to Crizotinib by the Lorlatinib Alk Resistance Mutation L1198F.

TL;DR: In a patient who had metastatic anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)-rearranged lung cancer, resistance to crizotinib developed because of a mutation in the ALK kinase domain, and sequencing of the resistant tumor revealed an ALK L1198F mutation in addition to the C1156Y mutation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Small-molecule p21-activated kinase inhibitor PF-3758309 is a potent inhibitor of oncogenic signaling and tumor growth

TL;DR: PAK4-related pathways are defined, additional support for PAK4 as a therapeutic target with a unique combination of functions (apoptotic, cytoskeletal, cell-cycle), and a potent, orally available small-molecule PAK inhibitor with significant promise for the treatment of human cancers is identified.
Journal ArticleDOI

Requirement for PAK4 in the anchorage-independent growth of human cancer cell lines.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that PAK4 is frequently overexpressed in human tumor cell lines of various tissue origins and identified serine (Ser-474) as the likely autophosphorylation site in the kinase domain of PAK 4 in vivo, and suggested thatPAK4 activity is required for Ras-driven, anchorage-independent growth.
