A Novel Linc00308/D21S2088E Intergenic Region ALK Fusion and Its Enduring Clinical Responses to Crizotinib

... Herein we report a novel ALK fusion partner, the Linc00308/D21S2088E intergenic region, that conferred responsiveness to crizotinib in a patient with lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD)... Thus, we have provided proof that patients with advanced NSCLC harboring a Linc00308/D21S2088E intergenic region ALK may benefit from crizotinib, expanding the spectrum of ALK fusion variants to optimize treated strategy.
