However, detecting ALK fusions using liquid biopsy is challenging, Knobil said.

Key Points:

However, detecting ALK fusions using liquid biopsy is challenging, Knobil said.
Most importantly, it was able to demonstrate clinical benefit by guiding patients to positive clinical responses.
Bob Li, MD, PhD, MPH, co-director of the Thoracic Liquid Biopsy Program at MSK, remarked, As a continuation of our multiyear collaboration with Resolution Bioscience, this study provides further evidence for the clinical utility of liquid biopsy, here with a focus on ALK fusion detection, for which there is limited data.
In addition to detecting common EML4-ALK fusions, liquid biopsy was also able to detect resistance mechanisms like MET amplifications and discover novel fusion partners, including a patient with a PON1-ALK fusion.
