Tepotinib in Cholangiocarcinoma with MET Amplification: A Case Report. (PubMed, Onco Targets Ther)
Systemic therapy, such as chemotherapy using gemcitabine and cisplatin, is the first choice for patients with cholangiocarcinoma who were inoperable. The development of precision medicine has expanded the paradigm of targeted therapies to increasingly favorable options in the second line and beyond, and prolong overall survival. Detecting druggable mutations (mutations potentially amenable to treatment with) for identifying a landscape of therapeutic options is imperative for managing cholangiocarcinoma.

Type I MET inhibitors cooperate with PD-1 blockade to promote rejection of hepatocellular carcinoma. (PubMed, J Immunother Cancer)
In vitro studies of antigen-specific T cell activation reveal significantly less inhibition of effector cytokine production and proliferation by capmatinib versus by type II or type III MET inhibitors. These findings suggest significant potential for clinical HCC combination studies of type I MET inhibitors and PD-1 blockade where prior trials using type II inhibitors have yielded limited benefit.

Repurposing of c-MET Inhibitor Tivantinib Inhibits Pediatric Neuroblastoma Cellular Growth. (PubMed, Pharmaceuticals (Basel))
Overall, our data indicate that c-MET directly regulates NB growth and 3D spheroid growth, and c-MET inhibition by tivantinib may be an effective therapeutic approach for high-risk NB. Further developing c-MET targeted therapeutic approaches and combining them with current therapies may pave the way for effectively translating novel therapies for NB and other c-MET-driven cancers.

Targeting EGFR Exon 20 Insertion Mutations in Non-small-Cell Lung Cancer: Changes in Treatment Strategies are Coming. (PubMed, Cancer Control)
Recently, amivantamab and sunvozertinib have demonstrated notable efficacy as first-line treatments, and several other promising novel targeted drugs are also challenging the status quo of traditional first-line platinum-based chemotherapy regimens. These developments are anticipated to further improve survival outcomes for NSCLC patients with EGFR ex20ins mutations. Hence, this review summarizes the epidemiology, molecular attributes, detection methodologies, and therapeutic advancements for EGFR ex20ins mutations in NSCLC, and briefly discusses the mechanisms of drug resistance.

Functional interaction between receptor tyrosine kinase MET and ETS transcription factors promotes prostate cancer progression. (PubMed, Mol Oncol)
Finally, by performing a comparative transcriptomic analysis, we identify target genes that could play a relevant role in these cellular processes. Thus, our results demonstrate for the first time in prostate cancer models a functional interaction between ETS transcription factors (ETV1 and ERG) and MET signalling that confers more aggressive properties and highlight a molecular signature characteristic of this combined action.

Remarkable pathological response to neoadjuvant tepotinib in lung adenocarcinoma with MET exon 14 skipping mutation: A case report. (PubMed, Thorac Cancer)
After initial treatment with savolitinib was discontinued due to grade 4 transaminitis, the patient was switched to tepotinib, resulting in significant tumor regression. Postoperative tepotinib continued, with no relapse at 6-month follow-up. This case highlights the potential of tepotinib as neoadjuvant therapy for resectable METex14 skipping-mutated NSCLC, warranting further clinical trials.

Efficacy and Safety of Amivantamab in Advanced or Metastatic EGFR-Mutant Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer: A Systematic Review. (PubMed, J Clin Med)
Infusion-related reactions (IRRs) ranged from 42% to 78% among patients that received amivantamab intravenously, while a 13% IRR rate was found in a group of patients that received amivantamab subcutaneously. Current evidence suggests that amivantamab is an effective treatment option for patients with advanced or metastatic NSCLC with EGFR mutations. Amivantamab-based combinations may prolong survival both in the treatment of naïve patients and those who have progressed on chemotherapy or tyrosine kinase inhibitors.
