a

Lorlatinib initially given at 50 mg and then escalated to 75 mg after 2 weeks for patient 3, lorlatinib reduced to 25 mg for neurocognitive toxicity for patient 5, alectinib escalated to 900 mg BID for patient 9 for brain progression, at which time capmatinib reduced to 300 mg BID, capmatinib reduced to 200 and 300 mg BID from 400 mg BID for patient 10 for pyrexia.

b

Treatment stopped for toxicity despite ongoing partial response.

c

Patient underwent resection and molecular analysis of two separate enlarging brain metastases.
