CD74-NRG1 fusions are oncogenic in vivo and induce therapeutically tractable ERBB2:ERBB3 heterodimerization. (PubMed, Mol Cancer Ther)

Thus, NRG1 gene fusions are recurrent driver oncogenes that cause oncogene dependency. Consistent with these findings, patients with NRG1 fusion-positive cancers respond to therapy targeting the ERBB2:ERBB3 receptors.

The anti-HER3 monoclonal antibody seribantumab effectively inhibits growth of patient-derived and isogenic cell line and xenograft models with oncogenic NRG1 fusions. (PubMed, Clin Cancer Res)

Seribantumab treatment blocked activation of the four ERBB family members and of downstream signaling, leading to inhibition of NRG1 fusion-dependent tumorigenesis in vitro and in vivo in breast, lung and ovarian patient-derived cancer models.

Comprehensive analysis of the clinicopathological features, targetable profile, and prognosis of mucinous adenocarcinoma of the lung. (PubMed, J Cancer Res Clin Oncol)

Mucinous adenocarcinoma had a low frequency of targetable genetic variants and PD-L1 immunoreactivity; however, KRAS mutations were frequent. Pneumonic appearance on CT imaging and KRAS mutations were clinicopathological features associated with a worse prognosis.

[VIRTUAL] Landscape of targetable alterations discovered by next generation sequencing demonstrates the role a community hospital can play in precision-guided oncology: Experience from Lenox Hill Hospital. (ASCO 2020)

Four samples harbored crizotinib-sensitive mutations (2 MET amplifications and 2 MET exon 14 skipping mutations)... We identified 92/511 samples (18%) with clinically actionable mutations; distributed in 32% early stage and 18% advanced stage disease, indicating that actionable mutations are present at an increased frequency in early stage solid malignancies in our data set and trials to investigate targeted therapy in such settings should be considered. Furthermore, we show that a community-based hospital can be a site for future clinical trials of small molecule inhibitors and bring precision-guided medicine to additional patients.
