| Summary: | ROS1 tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) were found to provide a substantial clinical benefit for patients with advanced ROS1-positive (ROS1+) NSCLC. Nevertheless, TKI resistance inevitably develops with different mechanisms, preventing prolonged responses. For this reason, next-generation compounds are under clinical development. ROS1 F2004 substitutions have been previously detected on circulating tumor DNA of patients progressing to entrectinib. Hereby, we report the case of a patient with ROS1+ NSCLC in which F2004V-acquired mutation was detected on a site of disease progression, after entrectinib and crizotinib failure. A subsequent treatment with next-generation TKI repotrectinib led to disease response, providing the first clinical evidence of activity of repotrectinib against F2004V resistance mutation.
