Description
Two out of 11 patients with an acquired crizotinib resistance showed new ALK copy-number gain (defined as more than 2-fold increase in the mean of the rearranged gene per cell in the posttreatment specimen compared with the pretreatment specimen), both with >4 fold increase. One of them also harbored a resistance mutation (G1269A).
