Description
In a panel of 602 cancer cell lines, 3/134 NSCLC cell lines showed <0.5% cell viability following treatment with the ALK inhibitor TAE684. Of these, NCI-H2228 harbored EML4-ALK variant 3a/b (EML4 exon 6 and ALK exon 20). TAE684 inhibited Akt and Erk1/2 phosphorylation in H2228 cells and appeared to induce a cytostatic response.
