Title:

The First-in-class Anti-EGFR Antibody Mixture Sym004 Overcomes Cetuximab Resistance Mediated by EGFR Extracellular Domain Mutations in Colorectal Cancer

Excerpt:
Acquired resistance to cetuximab was associated with the emergence of mutations, which occurred mainly in KRAS, NRAS, and EGFR genes (Table 2). An EGFR G465R mutation (22% of mutant alleles) was detected in a biopsy from a patient which had been previously treated with cetuximab.
