Switch from cetuximab to panitumumab during encorafenib-based therapy in BRAF V600E mutated metastatic colorectal cancer: an international multicenter analysis from the AGEO group. (PubMed, Clin Res Hepatol Gastroenterol)
No new IRRs nor toxic deaths were reported. ENCO-PANI appears to be as safe and effective in pts treated for a BRAFm mCRC unable to continue CET and may represent a valid alternative therapeutic option in this setting.

Oncolytic HSV-1-Mediated JAG1 Blockade Induces Glioma Senescence-Associated Secretory Phenotype to Increase Macrophage Activation and Cetuximab-Mediated Senolysis. (PubMed, Cancer Res)
Clinically, the Notch ligand JAG1 was upregulated in recurrent high-grade glioma patients treated with the oHSV CAN-3110 and correlated with poor prognosis. Heightened EGFR activation in senescent cells was a mechanism to escape cell death, which created a unique opportunity for cetuximab as a senolytic agent. Combination therapy reduced EGFR signaling and induced macrophage-mediated antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity, thereby increasing the anti-tumor therapeutic efficacy of OD-0J1.

YTHDC2 inhibits the resistance of lung cancer to EGFR-TKI through cuproptosis. (PubMed, Oncogene)
Additionally, we found that the copper ionophore disulfiram (DSF) overcame osimertinib resistance by augmenting YTHDC2 expression. Collectively, our findings elucidate a novel YTHDC2-SLC31A1-cuproptosis axis as a key mechanism underlying EGFR-TKI resistance and propose new therapeutic strategies for its reversal.

Targeted degradation of estrogen receptor β to overcome Osimertinib resistance in non-small cell lung carcinoma. (PubMed, Bioorg Chem)
Noteworthily, ERB-2 could promote ROS accumulation, mitochondrial dysfunction, cell apoptosis and restore Osimertinib sensitivity in Osimertinib-resistant NSCLC cells, eventually lead to effective reversal of Osimertinib resistance in vivo. Collectively, this study identifies ERB-2 as a potent first-in-class ERβ degrader capable of overcoming Osimertinib resistance in NSCLC, putting forward potential solution for clinical unmet need in NSCLC treatment.

Comparing the effect of traditional and novel tyrosine kinase inhibitors for epidermal growth factor receptor exon 20 insertions by molecular dynamics simulation. (PubMed, J Int Med Res)
When binding to osimertinib, ASV- and SVD-EGFR still revealed two energy minima on their free energy landscapes, but with considerably less conformational probability distribution at collective variable 2 >1.00 Å. In contrast, mobocertinib eliminated the energy minima at collective variable 2 >1.00 Å while decreasing the K745-E762 salt bridge formation rates.ConclusionsMobocertinib outperforms osimertinib in targeting specific subtypes of EGFR exon 20 insertions, highlighting its ability to restore the inactive state of this protein.

Disruption of epidermal growth factor receptor signaling and cytoskeletal dynamics by mebendazole and gefitinib synergistically impairs paracrine cytokine signaling in non-small cell lung cancer and triple-negative breast cancer Cell lines. (PubMed, PLoS One)
The combination of mebendazole and gefitinib effectively suppresses tumor cell viability and modulates key pathways involved in cancer progression. By targeting cytoskeletal integrity and EGFR signaling, it may disrupt cytokine and tumor-microenvironment interactions, supporting further exploration as a strategy to overcome resistance in lung and breast cancers.
