Abstract:
:Anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) inhibitors such as crizotinib and alectinib have been shown to have significant activity in ALK-rearranged non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLC). There are no data for alectinib's safety or efficacy in younger patients, though it is superior to crizotinib in adult trials. We present a 14-year old girl diagnosed with stage IV-B ALK-positive adenocarcinoma of the lung after presenting with cough and fever. She was commenced on alectinib at adult dose and has had sustained complete metabolic remission for 9 months. She is the youngest patient with lung adenocarcinoma to be treated with alectinib.
