Excerpt:
LUX-Lung 8 (NCT01523587) enroled patients...Eligible patients had stage IIIB or IV lung SCC...amongst 132 afatinib-treated patients who underwent TGA, several biomarkers were more commonly observed in patients with long-term disease control than in the overall population. ERBB family mutations were of particular note, observed in five of 10 TGA patients (50%) with long-term benefit, and included EGFR (n = 2; R1052K and unknown)), ERBB2 (n = 2; Q57R, E395K)) and ERBB4 (n = 1; G668V; Fig. 3B).
