Gene Variant Descriptions ALK mutant indicates an unspecified mutation in the ALK gene.
Associated Drug Resistance
Category Variants Paths

Filtering

  • Case insensitive filtering will display rows if any text in any cell matches the filter term
  • Use simple literal full or partial string matches
  • Separate multiple filter terms with a space. Any order may be used (i. e. a b c and c b a are equivalent )
  • Filtering will only apply to rows that are already loaded on the page. Filtering has no impact on query parameters.
  • Use quotes to match on a longer phrase with spaces (i.e. "mtor c1483f")

Sorting

  • Generally, the default sort order for tables is set to be first column ascending; however, specific tables may set a different default sort order.
  • Click on any column header arrows to sort by that column
  • Hold down the Shift key and click multiple columns to sort by more than one column. Be sure to set ascending or descending order for a given column before moving on to the next column.

Molecular Profile Indication/Tumor Type Response Type Therapy Name Approval Status Evidence Type Efficacy Evidence References
ALK mut TP53 wild-type neuroblastoma sensitive Crizotinib + Cyclophosphamide + Topotecan Preclinical - Pdx & cell culture Actionable In a preclinical study, Xalkori (crizotinib) demonstrated synergy with the combination of Topotecan and Cytoxan (cyclophosphamide) in patient-derived neuroblastoma cell lines harboring Alk mutations and functional TP53, resulting in growth inhibition in culture and tumor regression in animal models (PMID: 26438783). 26438783
ALK rearrange ALK mut lung non-small cell carcinoma sensitive Ceritinib Clinical Study - Cohort Actionable In a retrospective analysis, patients with ALK-rearrangement positive non-small cell lung cancer who acquired ALK drug resistance mutations following Xalkori (crizotinib) treatment had a median progression-free survival (mPFS) of 5.4 months on Zykadia (ceritinib), which was not significantly different than the mPFS of 6.5 months for patients without ALK mutations (PMID: 25724526). 25724526
