Prolonged response to entrectinib in an adult patient with recurrent glioblastoma harboring a GOPC::ROS1 fusion

Abstract

Introductory paragraph Data on the use of targeted therapies in glioma are still limited and the identification of useful targetable mutations is still under investigation. Among all the relevant alterations identified through next generation sequencing (NGS) tests, ROS1 alterations can rarely be found in gliomas, and the most common of them is GOPC::ROS1 fusion. Targeted therapies, such as entrectinib, are available for such alterations. Hereby, the case of a patient affected by GOPC::ROS1 fused glioblastoma and treated with entrectinib is presented; this patient achieved a complete and prolonged response with no relevant toxicities from the treatment.
