Abstract

ALK gene rearrangement accounts for approximately 5%-7% in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and usually demonstrate a response to ALK tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). However, a recent study showed that the presence of nonreciprocal/reciprocal ALK translocation was predictive for shorter PFS and greater risk of brain metastases (BM) in patients with ALK-rearranged NSCLC. Herein, we report that, for the first time, one NSCLC patient with the coexistence of a novel NBAS-ALK, EML4-ALK double-fusion responds to ensartinib after disease progression on sequential crizotinib, alectinib, ceritinib, and then chemotherapy.
