Alectinib induced a dramatic response in this patient demonstrating its clinical activity against T1151K. This case illustrates the importance of performing repeat biopsy to explore mechanism(s) of resistance when patients experience disease progression on an ALK inhibitor. The approach has a direct therapeutic impact particularly when an ALK resistance mutation is identified.
