A Compound L1196M/G1202R ALK Mutation in a Patient with ALK-Positive Lung Cancer with Acquired Resistance to Brigatinib Also Confers Primary Resistance to Lorlatinib

We report here the case of a 70-year-old patient with ALK-positive NSCLC treated with crizotinib as part of the ALTA-1L trial.4 The patient relapsed after a partial response. After crizotinib failure, the patient was crossed over to brigatinib, which led to a second partial response lasting 9 months. After progression, the patient was shifted to lorlatinib but the clinical conditions worsened and the patient died. READ ARTICLE
