Tumour assessment of ROR1 levels in various adult leukaemia and lymphoma types.

ABSTRACT: Receptor tyrosine kinase-like orphan receptor 1 (ROR1) is a tumour target currently used for the development of novel therapeutic modalities, such as antibody-drug conjugates, chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapies, and others. Success of these new drugs depends on the selection of relevant indications based on ROR1 tumour prevalence, staining heterogeneity, and subcellular localization, among other parameters. We investigated ROR1 immunophenotype using validated antibody clones for immunohistochemistry (IHC) and flow cytometry (FC), analyzing 292 tumour specimens from 7 haematological malignancies and triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) as a reference solid tumour indication. ROR1 prevalence varied significantly across distinct tumour types, showing 100% of ROR1 positivity in all chr
