Figure 1 Tumor responses to alectinib. (A) Maximal percent change in target intracranial lesions from baseline in patients with measurable central nervous system disease. (B) Maximal percent change in target lesions from baseline in patients with measurable overall disease. Patients unevaluable for response or with nonmeasurable disease are not shown. Dotted horizontal line shows the 30% threshold for partial response. Asterisk indicates stable disease. Dot indicates partial response. ALK, ALK receptor tyrosine kinase; TKI, tyrosine kinase inhibitor.

Figure 2 Representative intracranial responses to alectinib in patients. (A) Axial postcontrast T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging of response in a patient (patient 1 [see Supplementary Table 1]) who previously received crizotinib and ceritinib. Brain imaging pursued for headaches revealed new metastatic lesions (the largest measured 4.9 cm, with edema and midline shift). The patient declined neurosurgical intervention. He began taking steroids and alectinib, 600 mg twice daily, resulting in complete resolution of the headaches and a marked radiographic response (a 70% intracranial and 67% extracranial tumor reduction as the best response). Steroid therapy was discontinued within 3 weeks without recurrent headaches. The patient received alectinib for more than 2 years, with a CNS duration of response of 17 months. (B) Axial fluid-attenuated inversion recovery magnetic resonance imaging of the response to alectinib in a previously untreated patient (patient 6 [see Supplementary Table 1]) with symptomatic large brain metastases. This patient started taking steroids and first-line alectinib with clinical and radiographic response (a 75% intracranial tumor reduction and extracranial complete response). Steroids were completely tapered within 2 months of alectinib therapy. At data cutoff, she was continuing to take alectinib beyond 14 months with an ongoing response.

Figure 3 Duration of treatment. Arrows indicate patients continuing on alectinib at data cutoff. Triangles indicate the time points at which a central nervous system (CNS) response was first observed. Circles represent the time points of CNS disease progression. Asterisk indicates a patient whose disease was unevaluable for CNS response. ALK, ALK receptor tyrosine kinase; TKI, tyrosine kinase inhibitor.
