Exceptional response to lorlatinib and cabozantinib in ROS1-rearranged NSCLC with acquired F2004V and L2086F resistance

Abstract Patients with ROS1-rearranged NSCLC demonstrate excellent disease control with ROS1-targeted therapy, but acquired resistance is inevitable. Of particular interest is the ROS1 L2086F kinase domain mutation which is refractory to all currently available ROS1 TKIs apart from cabozantinib. We...

Description
Summary:Abstract Patients with ROS1-rearranged NSCLC demonstrate excellent disease control with ROS1-targeted therapy, but acquired resistance is inevitable. Of particular interest is the ROS1 L2086F kinase domain mutation which is refractory to all currently available ROS1 TKIs apart from cabozantinib. We present a case of a patient with metastatic ROS1-rearranged NSCLC with dual ROS1 F2004V and L2086F resistance mutations who radiographically responded to the combination of lorlatinib and cabozantinib in a patient with metastatic NSCLC. Furthermore, the patient experienced exceptional clinical improvement and tolerance with the combined use of lorlatinib and cabozantinib. This case builds the case for cabozantinib as an agent to overcome ROS1 L2086F resistance. It also highlights the efficacy and safety of using combination of ROS1 TKIs to overcome complex resistance patterns.
