Third-generation epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitors in T790M-positive non-small cell lung cancer: review on emerged mechanisms of resistance.

ABSTRACT: Osimertinib, third-generation epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI), has been approved in the US and EU for the treatment of EGFR mutant T790M-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients resistant to first- or second-generation EGFR-TKIs, such as gefitinib, erlotinib and afatinib. Although exciting survival data and response rates have been registered in patients treated with this and other third-generation EGFR-TKIs, unfortunately acquired resistance still occurs after approximately 10 months. Mechanisms determining progression of disease are heterogeneous and not fully understood. EGFR-dependent resistance mechanisms (such as new EGFR mutations), bypass pathway activation [as erb-b2 receptor tyrosine kinase 2 (HER2) or MET amplification] and histological transformation [in small cell lung cancer (SCLC)] have been reported, similarly to previous generation TKIs. Here, we review principle mechanisms of innate and acquired resistance described in literature both in clinical and preclinical settings during NSCLC treatment with third-generation EGFR-TKIs.

Project description:BackgroundResistance to third-generation epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) presents a major clinical challenge in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Here, we report resistance mechanisms to abivertinib, a novel third-generation EGFR TKI, from a phase I dose-escalation/expansion study (NCT02330367).MethodsPatients with EGFR T790M-positive advanced NSCLC and progression on prior EGFR TKIs received abivertinib in dose escalation (50-350 mg twice daily [BID]) or expansion (300 mg BID) cohorts. Patients enrolled at Guangdong Lung Cancer Institute who underwent next-generation sequencing (NGS)-based genomic profiling upon abivertinib progression (prior to October 30, 2018) were enrolled in this exploratory analysis.FindingsThirty of 73 patients enrolled were eligible for resistance analysis. Upon abivertinib progression, 27 patients provided plasma samples (six patients also provided paired samples from the progression sites) and three patients only provided tissue samples from the progression sites for NGS. A heterogeneous landscape of resistance to abivertinib was observed: 15% (4/27) experienced EGFR T790M loss and 13% (4/30) developing EGFR tertiary mutations including C797S. EGFR amplification was observed in 11 patients (37%), and considered a putative resistance mechanism in seven (23%) patients. Other EGFR-independent resistance mechanisms involved CDKN2A, MET, PIK3CA, HER2, TP53, Rb1 and small-cell lung cancer transformation.InterpretationOur findings reveal a heterogenous pattern of resistance mechanisms to abivertinib which is distinct from that previously reported with osimertinib. EGFR amplification was the most common resistance mechanism in this cohort.
