Figures & data

Figure 1. Mechanisms of ALK inhibitor resistance and therapeutic strategies. (Top) Pie charts indicating frequencies of mechanisms of resistance to 1st (crizotinib) and 2nd generation (ceritinib or alectinib) ALK TKIs, modified from reference [7]. (Bottom) Flow chart of currently approved ALK TKIs, mechanisms of resistance, sequence of therapeutic targeting and possible avenues for clinical development of novel strategies.
