BEBT-109, a pan-mutant-selective EGFR inhibitor with potent antitumor activity in EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer.

ABSTRACT: EGFR mutation-positive NSCLC tumors are highly heterogeneous, therefore, exploring an agent simultaneously targeting multiple EGFR mutations may be valuable for clinical practice. Compared with osimertinib, BEBT-109 shows more sensitive and extensive antitumor activity in EGFR mutant NSCLC, while sparing wild-type EGFR cell lines. Meanwhile, unlike the metabolite of osimertinib AZ5104, the main metabolites of BEBT-109 are found lacking in activity against wild-type EGFR cell lines. Preclinical and clinical studies demonstrate a unique pharmacokinetic profiles of BEBT-109 with rapid absorption and quick in vivo clearance without accumulation, which are conducive to minimizing the off-target toxicity of the covalent irreversible EGFR inhibitor. Oral administration of BEBT-109 induces tumor regression in EGFR exon 20 insertion xenografts, and even tumor disappearance in PC-9, HCC827 and H1975 xenograft models. Furthermore, in clinical trials, the objective responses were observed in NSCLC patients with EGFR T790M mutation in the first and second dosing cohorts. These findings demonstrate that BEBT-109, a potent pan-mutant-selective EGFR inhibitor with improved pharmacokinetic properties, might offer a promising new option for the treatment of multiple mutant-EGFR-driven NSCLC.

Project description:Small molecule inhibitors of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase activity, such as erlotinib and gefitinib, revolutionized therapy for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients whose tumors harbor activating EGFR mutations. However, mechanisms to overcome the invariable development of acquired resistance to such agents, as well as realizing their full clinical potential within the context of wild-type EGFR (WT-EGFR) disease, remain to be established. Here, the antitumor efficacy of targeted EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) and the HSP90 inhibitor ganetespib, alone and in combination, were evaluated in NSCLC. Ganetespib potentiated the efficacy of erlotinib in TKI-sensitive, mutant EGFR-driven NCI-HCC827 xenograft tumors, with combination treatment causing significant tumor regressions. In erlotinib-resistant NCI-H1975 xenografts, concurrent administration of ganetespib overcame erlotinib resistance to significantly improve tumor growth inhibition. Ganetespib co-treatment also significantly enhanced antitumor responses to afatinib in the same model. In WT-EGFR cell lines, ganetespib potently reduced cell viability. In NCI-H1666 cells, ganetespib-induced loss of client protein expression, perturbation of oncogenic signaling pathways, and induction of apoptosis translated to robust single-agent activity in vivo. Dual ganetespib/erlotinib therapy induced regressions in NCI-H322 xenograft tumors, indicating that the sensitizing properties of ganetespib for erlotinib were conserved within the WT-EGFR setting. Mechanistically, combined ganetespib/erlotinib exposure stabilized EGFR protein levels in an inactive state and completely abrogated extracellular-signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and AKT signaling activity. Thus, selective HSP90 blockade by ganetespib represents a potentially important complementary strategy to targeted TKI inhibition alone for inducing substantial antitumor responses and overcoming resistance, in both the mutant and WT-EGFR settings.
