Effect of furmonertinib on the pharmacokinetics of rivaroxaban or apixaban in vivo. (PubMed, J Chromatogr B Analyt Technol Biomed Life Sci)
Furthermore, furmonertinib caused similar changes in apixaban pharmacokinetics. The pharmacokinetic results suggest that it is essential to alert the effect of furmonertinib on the pharmacokinetics of rivaroxaban or apixaban in clinical practice.

Acquired multiple EGFR mutations‑mediated resistance to a third‑generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor in a patient with lung adenocarcinoma who responded to afatinib: A case report and literature review. (PubMed, Oncol Lett)
Third-generation TKIs, such as osimertinib, almonertinib and furmonertinib, are effective for the treatment of NSCLC that is EGFR-sensitizing mutation-positive and T790M-positive. To the best of our knowledge, the present report describes the first case of a patient with lung adenocarcinoma who had multiple co-existing EGFR resistance mutations, including EGFR L718Q, EGFR C797S, EGFR C797G, EGFR L792H, EGFR V802F and EGFR V689L. These mutations conferred resistance to almonertinib, whilst maintaining sensitivity to afatinib.

Risk of treatment-related toxicity from EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors: a systematic review and network meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials in EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer. (PubMed, J Thorac Dis)
This review included 23 randomized clinical trials incorporating 7,006 patients and 11 treatments: erlotinib, gefitinib, icotinib, afatinib, dacomitinib, osimertinib, furmonertinib, aumolertinib, pemetrexed-free chemotherapy (PfCT), pemetrexed-based chemotherapy (PbCT) and placebo. Difference in safety between the third-generation EGFR-TKIs was also first investigated comprehensively. Furthermore, this review elaborated the varied predominate spectrum and ranked the toxicity of EGFR-TKIs for providing toxicity rationale for treatment decisions.

Determination of furmonertinib in human plasma and cerebrospinal fluid by UPLC-MS/MS: Application in lung cancer patients with and without brain metastasis. (PubMed, J Chromatogr B Analyt Technol Biomed Life Sci)
Quantitative ion pairs were m/z 569.3 → 72.2 for furmonertinib and m/z 526.5 → 72.2 for aumolertinib, which was used as the internal standard (IS). The established analytical methods showed great sensitivity, simplicity, accuracy and reliability for the analysis of furmonertinib in human plasma and CSF. This assay would be helpful to predict the effectiveness and toxicities of furmonertinib in the pursuit of precision medicine for lung cancer patients.

Response to furmonertinib in a patient with non-small cell lung cancer harboring HER2 exon 21 insertion mutation: a case report. (PubMed, Front Oncol)
Firstly, we describe the patient's treatment history, including failed third-line combination treatments of systemic chemotherapy with bevacizumab or carrelizumab or anlotinib, primary lung tumor recurrence, bilateral lung metastases progression, and new brain metastatic lesion detection. Next, we detail the patient's fourth-line treatment with radiotherapy for brain metastases and two cycles of bevacizumab plus Abraxane and cisplatin, however, the disease progressed and relapsed...However, the patient died due to hypoproteinemia combined with severe pneumonia in December 2023. Furmonertinib may be effective for NSCLC patients with HER2 T8962A and L869R mutations and further studies are needed to confirm these results in prospective clinical trials.

Utidelone plus pembrolizumab as the fourth-line combination treatment in non-small cell lung cancer with EGFR mutation: a case report. (PubMed, Anticancer Drugs)
The patient had progressed after targeted therapy with oxitinib, ametinib, and vometinib. Although peripheral neurotoxicity occurred during treatment, it improved after symptomatic treatment. The treatment of EGFR mutant stage IV NSCLC with utidelone combined with pabolizumab has good effect and mild adverse reactions.

High-dose Furmonertinib in patients with EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer and leptomeningeal metastases: A prospective real-world study. (PubMed, J Thorac Oncol)
In the real world, the high-dose furmonertinib-based treatment may potentially have clinical efficacy and tolerable safety in patients of EGFR-mutated NSCLC with LM, even in patients previously treated with other third-generation EGFR-TKIs. Methylation and CNB analysis of cfDNA in CSF may be considered objective indicators for the diagnosis of LM and evaluation of treatment response.

Case report: A case of Savolitinib in the treatment of MET amplification mutation advanced lung adenocarcinoma with rare bilateral breast metastasis. (PubMed, Front Oncol)
Despite maintaining a prolonged progression-free survival (PFS) with first-generation EGFR-TKI Afatinib, disease progression occurred in 2022 without detectable resistance mutations. Transition to second-generation TKI Furmonertinib resulted in poor control, with rapid progression including unusual bilateral breast metastases that exhibited inflammatory breast cancer-like peau d'orange changes...This case underscores the importance of continuous genetic profiling and tailored treatment approaches in managing advanced lung adenocarcinoma, particularly when presenting with rare metastatic sites and complex genetic landscapes. The successful application of Savolitinib following the identification of a MET amplification mutation highlights its potential in overcoming resistance mechanisms in NSCLC, providing a significant therapeutic option for similarly challenging cases.

Potential Utility of a 4th-Generation EGFR-TKI and Exploration of Resistance Mechanisms-An In Vitro Study. (PubMed, Biomedicines)
Ba/F3 cells with an osimertinib-resistant secondary mutation were refractory to all 3G TKIs tested (alflutinib, lazertinib, rezivertinib, almonertinib, and befotertinib)...HCC827BIR cells had MET gene amplification and were sensitive to a combination of capmatinib (MET-TKI) and BI4020...This study suggests that erlotinib may be more suitable than 4G TKIs to overcome secondary mutations after front-line osimertinib. We found that off-target mechanisms that cause resistance to earlier-generation TKIs will also cause resistance to 4G TKIs.

The Impact of On-Target Resistance Mediated by EGFR-T790M or EGFR-C797S on EGFR Exon 20 Insertion Mutation Active Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors. (PubMed, JTO Clin Res Rep)
EGFR-C797S in cis to all EGFR mutations evaluated generated dependent cells that were resistant to the covalent EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors mobocertinib, zipalertinib, furmonertinib, sunvozertinib, poziotinib, and osimertinib. This report highlights that poziotinib and mobocertinib are susceptible to on-target resistance mediated by EGFR-T790M or -C797S in the background of the most prevalent EGFR exon 20 insertion mutations. Furmonertinib, sunvozertinib, and to a less extent zipalertinib can overcome EGFR-T790M compound mutants, whereas EGFR-C797S leads to covalent inhibitor cross-resistance-robust data that support the limitations of mobocertinib and should further spawn the development of next-generation covalent and reversible EGFR exon 20 insertion mutation active inhibitors with favorable therapeutic windows that are less vulnerable to on-target resistance.
