Recurrent Escape from Osimertinib-Induced Senescence Promotes Genomic Instability Associated with Therapeutic Resistance. (PubMed, bioRxiv)
Despite profound genomic instability, targeting DNA repair or replication stress pathways was ineffective, whereas sensitivity to platinum-based chemotherapy was retained across clades. Collectively, these findings indicate that recurrent senescence escape drives osimertinib resistance through widespread genomic instability and is most effectively treated by cytotoxic strategies rather than pathway-targeted approaches.

A MET-Targeted Variable New Antigen Receptor (VNAR) Theranostic for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer. (PubMed, bioRxiv)
Together, these findings establish vMET1-Fc as a theranostic agent for imaging and treating MET-altered NSCLC. A shark-derived antibody selectively targeting MET shows preclinical efficacy as a theranostic agent for MET-altered cancers.

Efficacy and safety of lorlatinib in first-line and subsequent-line treatments for patients with ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer: a single-center real-world study in China. (PubMed, Transl Lung Cancer Res)
Effective management of lorlatinib-related adverse events, through close monitoring and timely intervention, is essential to enhance patient tolerance. Lorlatinib has progressively transformed the therapeutic landscape for patients with ALK + NSCLC.

Targeting Mesenchymal-Epidermal Transition (MET) Aberrations in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer: Current Challenges and Therapeutic Advances. (PubMed, Cancers (Basel))
Encouragingly, several MET TKIs such as capmatinib, tepotinib, and savolitinib have been approved for the treatment of MET exon 14 skipping mutations. On 14 May 2025, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration granted accelerated approval to telisotuzumab vedotin-tllv for adult patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-squamous NSCLC whose tumors exhibit high c-Met protein overexpression and who have already received prior systemic therapy. In this review, we summarize the structure and physiological role of the MET receptor, the molecular mechanisms underlying aberrant MET activation, its contribution to acquired resistance against targeted therapies, and emerging strategies for effectively targeting MET alterations in NSCLC.

Crizotinib in Patients with Tumors with MET Amplification or Exon 14 Deletion: Results from the NCI-MATCH ECOG-ACRIN Trial (EAY131) Subprotocols C1 and C2. (PubMed, Clin Cancer Res)
Crizotinib demonstrated clinical activity across tumors with METamp and METex14.Subprotocol C1, but not C2, met its primary endpoint. In METex14 disease, a read count cutoff >50,000 may help distinguish true pathogenic variants from low-level splice transcripts and enable more accurate classification.

Osimertinib-Induced Lung Injury and Treatment Rechallenge: Clinical Insights From a Case Report With a Comprehensive Literature Review. (PubMed, Clin Lung Cancer)
After resolution with corticosteroids, treatment was switched to afatinib. This study highlights the heterogeneous approaches to OILI and the potential feasibility of rechallenge in selected patients. Given the expanding osimertinib use for early and advanced stage NSCLC, further research is warranted to refine treatment decisions and optimize patient safety.
