  • Patients with advanced-stage NSCLC whose tumors harbor an ALK gene rearrangement benefit from treatment with multiple ALK inhibitors (ALKi). Approximately 30% of tumor biopsy samples contain insufficient tissue for successful ALK molecular characterization. This study evaluated the added value of analyzing circulating tumor cells (CTCs) as a surrogate to ALK tissue analysis and as a function of the response to ALKi. We conducted a multicenter, prospective observational study (NCT02372448) of 203 patients with stage IIIB/IV NSCLC across nine French centers, of whom 81 were ALK positive (immunohistochemistry or fluorescence in situ hybridization [FISH]) and 122 ALK negative on paraffin-embedded tissue specimens. Blood samples were collected at baseline and at 6 and 12 weeks after ALKi initiation or at disease progression. ALK gene rearrangement was evaluated with CTCs using immunocytochemistry and FISH analysis after enrichment using a filtration method. At baseline, there was a high concordance between the detection of an ALK rearrangement in the tumor tissue and in CTCs as determined by immunocytochemistry (sensitivity, 94.4%; specificity 89.4%). The performance was lower for the FISH analysis (sensitivity, 35.6%; specificity, 56.9%). No significant association between the baseline levels or the dynamic change of CTCs and overall survival (hazard ratio = 0.59, 95% confidence interval: 0.24–1.5, p = 0.244) or progression-free survival (hazard ratio = 0.84, 95% confidence interval: 0.44–1.6, p = 0.591) was observed in the patients with ALK-positive NSCLC. CTCs can be used as a complementary tool to a tissue biopsy for the detection of ALK rearrangements. Longitudinal analyses of CTCs revealed promise for real-time patient monitoring and improved delivery of molecularly guided therapy in this population.
