EGFR L858R

This retrospective study used a nationwide electronic health record-derived deidentified database to select adult patients with advanced nonsquamous NSCLC, evidence of EGFR exon 19 deletion or L858R mutation, and ECOG performance status of 0-2 who initiated platinum-containing chemotherapy, with or without concomitant immunotherapy, from 1-January-2011 to 30-June-2020 following receipt of any EGFR TKI as first-line therapy or, alternatively, a first- or second-generation EGFR TKI (erlotinib, afatinib, gefitinib, dacomitinib) as first-line therapy followed by the third-generation EGFR TKI osimertinib as second-line therapy. Median OS was 10.3 months (95% CI, 8.1-13.9) from pemetrexed-platinum initiation and 12.4 months (95% CI, 10.2-15.2) from platinum initiation; 12-month survival rates were 48% and 51%, respectively; 260 patients (84%) had died by the end of the study. The suboptimal survival outcomes recorded in this study demonstrate the unmet need to identify more effective subsequent treatment regimens for patients with EGFR-mutated advanced nonsquamous NSCLC after EGFR TKI resistance develops.

Finally, C6 inhibited tumor growth in the H1975-TM xenograft tumor model effectively and safely. This study identifies a novel and potent EGFR PROTAC to overcome Osimertinib resistance mediated by C797S mutation.

After platinum-based chemotherapy, classical TKIs and ICIs are less effective in NSCLC patients with Exon20ins, and amivantamab may be a promising targeted therapy. There is a possibility that the location of Exon20ins has an impact on the efficacy of TKIs.

In this real-world AI-generated dataset, survival post-osimertinib was poor in patients with cEGFR mutations. Patients with ex20ins in this cohort had improved outcomes, possibly due to ex20ins targeting treatment, highlighting the need for more effective treatments for patients with advanced EGFRm NSCLC.

Patients in their 70s and 80s with non-small cell lung cancer were relatively frequently EGFR gene-positive. To avoid missing out on treatment opportunities, EGFR gene testing should also be performed on patients in this age group.

This study also highlights EGFR(L858R) neoantigens in GGO samples, suggesting potential CD8+ T cell activation. Our findings offer valuable insights into lung adenocarcinoma heterogeneity, suggesting avenues for targeted therapies in early-stage disease.

Mechanism studies revealed that 14o was a potent EGFR L858R/T790M/C797S and EGFR Del19/T790M/C797S kinase inhibitor, which could downregulate the protein phosphorylation of EGFR and m-TOR signaling pathways, arrest cell cycle at G2/M phase by affecting the expression of CDC25C, and promote cell apoptosis by regulating the expression of cleaved caspase-3. In summary, 14o could serve as a promising deuterated compound for the development of highly efficient anticancer agents.

The radiomics model based on MRI of lung adenocarcinoma brain metastases could distinguish between EGFR 19Del and 21L858R mutations in the primary lesion.

The median PFS in the dose reduction group was significantly prolonged compared with that in the standard dose group (26.0 months vs. 12.0 months, p = 0.03). Multivariable analysis of 84 patients, excluding a patient with unknown brain metastasis, revealed that EGFR exon 21 L858R mutation, malignant pleural effusion or pleural metastasis, liver metastasis, and dose reduction within 6 months were independent factors affecting PFS. Early dose reduction of osimertinib is an effective therapeutic strategy for prolonging PFS in patients with EGFR-mutated NSCLC.

TSO500 and F1CDx showed robust analytical performance for TMB assessment with TSO500 showing stronger concordance of TMB with high PD-L1 expression. As the paradigm for the management of early-resected NSCLC continues to evolve, understanding TMB and the mutation landscape may help advance clinical outcomes for this subset of patients.

In summary, ramucirumab may have similar effectiveness as bevacizumab in combination with an EGFR-TKI as first line therapy for advanced lung adenocarcinoma harboring susceptible EGFR mutation. Further large-scale registry-based cohort studies may be needed to validate our findings.

Structures show that BI-4020 is likely rendered selective due to interactions with the kinase domain hinge region as well as T790M, akin to Osimertinib. Additionally, BI-4020 is also rendered more potent due to its constrained macrocycle geometry as well as additional H-bonds to conserved K745 and T845 residues in both active and inactive conformations. These findings taken together show how this novel macrocyclic inhibitor is both highly potent and selective for mutant EGFR in a reversible mechanism and motivate structure- inspired approaches to developing targeted therapies in medicinal oncology.

PTEN acts as a double-edged sword that differentially regulates EGFRL858R-induced lung cancer progression in different genomic backgrounds. Understanding the PTEN in lung cancer with different genetic backgrounds will be beneficial for therapy in the future.

This case report is a compelling testimony to the evolving therapeutic landscape of non-small cell lung cancers, providing valuable insight into the potential therapeutic efficacy of epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitors in the realm of rare and complex epidermal growth factor receptor mutations.

Moreover, the digital stepwise melting analysis (dSMA) technique is introduced, enabling high-multiplex profiling of seven major EGFR variants spanning 35 subtypes. This innovative dPCR system presents a cost-effective and versatile alternative, overcoming existing limitations and paving the way for transformative advances in precision diagnostics.

Regrettably, the patient eventually died from heart disease. This report provides the first reported evidence for the use of furmonertinib and intrathecal pemetrexed chemotherapy in NSCLC patients harboring EGFR R776S/C797S/L858R mutations who progressed on previous EGFR-TKIs.

This specific mutation in exon 18 seems to respond to certain EGFR TKIs such as afatinib. However, given the rarity of this mutation, determining the most effective TKI for its treatment remains unclear. We report a 70-year-old woman diagnosed with stage IV-A lung adenocarcinoma harboring EGFR delE709_T710insD mutation treated in first-line with Osimertinib using standard schedule and doses experiencing renal toxicity and disease progression after 9 weeks of treatment.

Median overall survival (95% CI) was 21.30 (15.86-26.75) months. Lower afatinib doses (<40 mg OD) could be equally effective as standard dose in patients with EGFR-mutant advanced NSCLC and may be more suited to Asian patients, minimizing side effects that may occur at higher dosages of afatinib leading to dose interruptions and affecting treatment outcomes.

In first-generation EGFR-TKIs treatment, gefitinib showed favorable efficacy compared to icotinib and erlotinib, particularly in patients with EGFR L858R mutations...In third-line treatments, the combination of osimertinib and anlotinib demonstrated superior efficacy compared to other regimens. Glutamate ionotropic receptor NMDA type subunit 2A (GRIN2A) mutation was an independent risk indicator of shorter OS following third-line treatments. Comprehending the tumor evolution in NSCLC is advantageous for assessing the efficacy and prognosis at each stage of treatment, providing valuable insights to guide personalized treatment decisions for patients.

The EGFR exon 19 deletion mutation was more common in both MIA (50%; n = 6/12) and ADC (41%; n = 149/363), whereas p.L858R was more prevalent in AIS (75%; n = 3/4). In contrast to pulmonary advanced ADC, KRAS driver mutations are less common, whereas mutations in EGFR are more common, in detectable AIS and MIA.

USP24 functional knockout, USP24C1695A, or targeting USP24 by USP24-i-101 inhibited drug resistance and activated autophagy in gefitinib-induced drug-resistant mice with doxycycline-induced EGFRL858R lung cancer, but this effect was abolished after inhibition of autophagy, indicating that targeting USP24-mediated induction of autophagy is required for inhibition of drug resistance. In addition, inhibition of autophagy by bafilomycin-A1 significantly abolished the effect of USP24-i-101 on maintaining genomic integrity, decreasing PD-L1 and inhibiting drug resistance acquired in chemotherapy or targeted therapy. In summary, an increase in the expression of USP24 in cancer cells is beneficial for the induction of drug resistance and targeting USP24 by USP24-i-101 optimized from USP24-i inhibits drug resistance acquired during cancer therapy by increasing PD-L1 protein degradation and genomic stability in an autophagy induction-dependent manner.
