About this trial
This is an investigator-initiated, single-center clinical trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of ALK inhibitors in patients with locally advanced or metastatic bone cancer harboring truncated ALK (ALKATI) alterations. Eligible patients must have disease progression after standard therapy or no suitable standard treatment options.
Participants will receive either crizotinib (Xalkori®) or alectinib (Alecensa®), with treatment selection determined by the study investigators. The study aims to assess antitumor activity, safety, and clinical outcomes in this rare molecular subtype of bone cancer.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Age ≥ 20 years.
Patients with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors harboring deficiency or alteration of anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) tyrosine kinase.
Disease progression during or within 6 months after completion of standard therapy, or no appropriate standard treatment available.
At least one measurable lesion according to applicable response evaluation criteria.
Disqualifiers
Known hypersensitivity to crizotinib or alectinib.
Current or prior use of ALK inhibitors.
Current use of tyrosine kinase inhibitors.
Receipt of radiotherapy within 2 weeks prior to study entry. Palliative radiotherapy to non-target lesions is permitted.

Single group
Treatments tested in this trial
Alectinib
DrugPatients will receive oral anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) inhibitor therapy for locally advanced or metastatic bone cancer harboring truncated ALK (ALKATI) alterations. Treatment will include alectinib. The dosing regimen of alectinib, including starting dose and any subsequent adjustments, will be determined by the investigators based on clinical response and tolerability. Each treatment cycle is defined as 4 weeks. Drug selection and dose modifications will be at the discretion of the investigators. Treatment will continue until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or withdrawal from the study.
