Ineffectiveness of Crizotinib in a Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer with Novel ALK- LIMS1 Fusion: A Case Report.
Article in OncoTargets and therapy, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) rearrangements have been reported in 3-7% of non-small-cell lung cancers (NSCLC). ALK has been reported to be fused with a variety of genes in NSCLC. Significant clinical activity was achieved by ALK inhibitors in patients with NSCLC harbouring ALK translocations. We reported on a 48-year-old male Chinese patient with advanced lung adenocarcinoma harboring a novel ALK-LIMS1 who showed no response to crizotinib. The tissue was assayed by immunohistochemistry (IHC) for ALK and showed diffuse expression of ALK. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) was performed on the peripheral blood and tissue. The previous tumor tissue showed diffuse expression of ALK. Tissue and the later peripheral blood revealed a ALK- LIMS1 fusion. The patient failed to benefit from crizotinib (250 mg, twice a day), with a progression-free survival of two months. We identified a new ALK-LIMS1 fusion from an advanced lung adenocarcinoma which was primary resistant to crizotinib. Our case suggested that the coexistence of mutations and the non-dominant clone, as well as the rearrangement of ALK fusion, did not result in expressed ALK kinase domain that might lead to no response to ALK-TKIs.
