The recipients of the 2024 ROS1+ Cancer Innovation Awards are:
- Monte Winslow, PhD, Dmitri A. Petrov, PhD and Joel Neal, MD, PhD, Stanford University School of Medicine – Towards precision medicine for oncogenic ROS1 fusion driven lung cancer
This project will create models of each known ROS1 fusion variant and investigate how they influence cancer development and treatment responses. - Jaime Schneider, MD, PhD, Massachusetts General Hospital – Identifying Metabolic Vulnerabilities in ROS1+ Lung Cancer
This project aims to shed light on metabolic pathways that may contribute to acquired resistance to treatments for ROS1+ cancer, with the goal of identifying new targets for treatments that may prevent or treat resistance mechanisms.

About ROS1+ Cancer
- ROS1+ cancer is relatively rare, occurring in just 1-2% of non-small cell lung cancer. The incidence is thought to be similar in other types of cancer.
- Biomarker testing for ROS1 fusions is recommended in guidelines for non-small cell lung cancer, but few other cancers, yet.
- Patients typically have adenocarcinoma NSCLC, a younger age than the average NSCLC patient, and no smoking history (a smoking history should not exclude patients from biomarker testing or targeted therapies).
- Oral targeted therapies are the recommended first-line treatment for metastatic ROS1+ NSCLC and have increased the survival of patients by years. However, these drugs eventually stop working due to acquired resistance. The mechanisms of resistance are not well understood.
