Abstract:
Small cell transformation has been described as a resistance mechanism to targeted therapy treated in patients with EGFR-mutated NSCLC and less often reported with those with other actionable oncogenic alterations, including ALK-rearranged NSCLC. Given lack of standard-of-care treatments for patients with actionable oncogenic alteration NSCLC transformed to SCLC, this remains a challenge and unmet need for treating these patients. Here, we present a case of a patient with ALK-rearranged NSCLC with transformation to SCLC, who has progressed on several lines of therapies and successfully treated with tarlatamab to elicit and maintain clinical benefit, including intracranial response.
Insights
Small cell transformation is a challenge in ALK-rearranged NSCLC. Tarlatamab showed clinical benefit, including intracranial response, in a patient with transformed disease resistant to prior therapies.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Thoracic Cancers
- Molecular Targeted Therapy
Background:
- Small cell transformation is a known resistance mechanism to targeted therapies in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with EGFR mutations.
- This transformation is less commonly reported in ALK-rearranged NSCLC but presents a significant unmet clinical need due to lack of standard treatments.
- Patients with actionable oncogenic alterations progressing to small cell lung cancer (SCLC) face limited therapeutic options.

Introduction to Documentation and Reporting
Nursing documentation records essential information and details regarding a patient's care and treatment in written or electronic form. It is a critical aspect of nursing practice that involves documenting assessments, interventions, outcomes, and other relevant details about a patient's health status.
Documentation maps the patient's health journey by creating a comprehensive...
