Neoadjuvant ceritinib treatment in ALK-rearranged locally advanced adenosquamous carcinoma: A case report.
Article in Thoracic cancer, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 7 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Here, we first report a case of neoadjuvant ceritinib for locally advanced lung adenosquamous carcinoma. In this study, a locally advanced adenosquamous carcinoma (ASC) patient with EML4-ALK fusion who achieved a partial response with neoadjuvant ceritinib treatment after a cycle of neoadjuvant chemotherapy did not show significant efficacy. A complete surgical resection was performed with mild adhesions and a small amount of bleeding intraoperatively. The EML4-ALK fusion was detected by targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS) in both pretreatment biopsy and the postoperative tissue specimens with a dramatic decrease in the allele frequency (26.2% [pre]-2.3% [post]). Pathological examination of the postoperative specimens indicated a diagnosis of ASC but the proportions of adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma cells in the primary lung tumor and metastatic lymph node site were different, suggesting the various responses to ceritinib. Thus, with the case presented here, we provide the clinical evidence for ALK-positive locally advanced ASC patients benefiting from neoadjuvant ceritinib treatment with a tolerable safety profile, whereas further cohort studies of the efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant ceritinib in such patients are needed.
