Abstract Summary

A lung cancer patient with ALK fusion, high PD-L1, and BIM deletion rapidly progressed on two ALK inhibitors (alectinib, lorlatinib). Switching to ivonescimab plus chemotherapy achieved favorable responseโ€”the first reported case of this approach. This offers new treatment insights for ALK-positive lung cancer resistant to standard targeted therapies.

Why Brain? ๐Ÿง 

Novel immunotherapy-chemotherapy combination overcomes resistance in ALK-positive lung cancer after multiple targeted therapy failures, offering new treatment option for difficult-to-treat cases.
