CLINICAL CHARACTERISTICS AND PRELIMINARY RESULTS OF TREATMENT ALK MUTATION NON-SMALL LUNG CANCER WITH TKIs – CERITINIB
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objectives: The aims of our study were to access clinical characteristics and investigate response rate and related factors of tyrosine kinase in ALK mutation NSCLC. Patients and Methods: Observational study from January 2019 to June 2022, we enrolled 69 patients have ALK mutation . All patients were treated with ceritinib. Tumor response rate, other related factors were determined. Results: Mean age 52.6 ± 11.5; female 52.2%, non-smokers 59.4%. 63.8 % was unpretreated patient. Poor personal status was 11,5%. 3 or more organ metastasis accounts for a high rate of 49.3%. Brain metastasis had a high rate of 36.2%. Adenocarcinoma was found in 89.9%. NGS test identified mutations in ALK gene accounting for 55.1%; RT-PCR accounted for 27.5%, HMMD staining 13.0% and FISH 4.3%. 97.1% were performed on tissue samples. Response rate: Complete response 10.1%. Partial response rate was 66.8%. Disease control rate was 87.0%. CNS response rate was very impressive 72.0%. Age, gender, smoking status, pretreated chemotherapy, personal status and brain metastasis are not related to response rate respectively. Conclusion: Stage IV non-small cell lung cancer patients has ALK gene mutation are common in younger, female, non-smokers, and have high rate of brain metastasis. Ceritinib has a high response rate, especially with CNS metastases.Response rate is not related to the clinical characteristics.
