BACKGROUND: ROS1 fusion-positive (ROS1+) nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients are highly sensitive to tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) treatments. However, acquired TKI resistance remains the major hurdle preventing patients from experiencing prolonged benefits.

METHODS: 107 advanced or metastatic ROS1+ NSCLC patients who progressed on crizotinib and lorlatinib were recruited. Tissue and plasma samples were collected at baseline (N = 50), postcrizotinib (N = 91), and postlorlatinib (N = 21), which were all subject to the 139-gene targeted next-generation DNA sequencing. Molecular dynamics modeling was performed to investigate the effects of ROS1 mutations on binding to different TKIs.

RESULTS: In patients with postcrizotinib and postlorlatinib samples, an accumulation of on- and off-target resistance alterations after multiple TKI treatments was observed. ROS1 G2032R and MET amplification were the most common on-target and off-target alterations, respectively. Patients with CD74-ROS1 and SLC34A2-ROS1 had longer progression-free survival (PFS) (P < 0.001) and higher rates of resistance mutations (on-target, P = 0.001; off-target, P = 0.077) than other ROS1 fusion variants following crizotinib treatment. Ten distinct on-target resistance mutations were detected after TKI therapies, of which 4 were previously unreported (ROS1 L2010M, G1957A, D1988N, L1982V). Molecular dynamics simulations showed that all 4 mutations were refractory to crizotinib, while G1957A, D1988N, and L1982V were potentially sensitive to lorlatinib and entrectinib.

CONCLUSIONS: This study provided a comprehensive portrait of TKI-resistance mechanisms in ROS1+ NSCLC patients. Using in silico simulations of TKI activity, novel secondary mutations that may confer TKI resistance were identified and may support clinical therapeutic decision-making.
