Brief Report: Heterogeneity of Acquired Resistance Mechanisms to Osimertinib and Savolitinib.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

MET amplification is a frequently observed mechanism of resistance to osimertinib, and coinhibition strategy of MET and EGFR revealed promising results in recent clinical trials. Nevertheless, acquired resistance mechanisms to combined EGFR and MET inhibition are poorly understood. In this study, we investigated the mechanisms of acquired resistance to osimertinib and savolitinib by using pretreatment and post-treatment tissue analysis.

Methods

Whole-exome sequencing was performed in EGFR-mutant, MET-amplified patients who received osimertinib and savolitinib using tissues obtained both before and after therapy. All patients achieved partial response or durable stable disease to osimertinib and savolitinib before developing acquired resistance.

Results

After progression on osimertinib and savolitinib, whole-exome analysis revealed MET-dependent mechanisms of resistance, such as acquired MET p.D1246H mutation, MET p.Y1230C mutation, and MET copy number gain. As for MET-independent mechanisms, development of ERBB2 mutation and amplification and copy number gains in amplifications in CCNE, CCND1, CDK6, and EGFR were observed. Patient 2 harbored an acquired PIK3CA p.H1047R mutation in which resistance could be overcome with combination of PI3K inhibitor and osimertinib in the patient-derived xenograft model.

Conclusions

Our study reveals that acquired resistance to savolitinib plus osimertinib can occur from both MET-dependent and MET-independent mechanisms.

Clonal Evolution and Heterogeneity of Osimertinib Acquired Resistance Mechanisms in EGFR Mutant Lung Cancer.

Project description:Clonal evolution of osimertinib-resistance mechanisms in EGFR mutant lung adenocarcinoma is poorly understood. Using multi-region whole-exome and RNA sequencing of prospectively collected pre- and post-osimertinib-resistant tumors, including at rapid autopsies, we identify a likely mechanism driving osimertinib resistance in all patients analyzed. The majority of patients acquire two or more resistance mechanisms either concurrently or in temporal sequence. Focal copy-number amplifications occur subclonally and are spatially and temporally separated from common resistance mutations such as EGFR C797S. MET amplification occurs in 66% (n = 6/9) of first-line osimertinib-treated patients, albeit spatially heterogeneous, often co-occurs with additional acquired focal copy-number amplifications and is associated with early progression. Noteworthy osimertinib-resistance mechanisms discovered include neuroendocrine differentiation without histologic transformation, PD-L1, KRAS amplification, and ESR1-AKAP12, MKRN1-BRAF fusions. The subclonal co-occurrence of acquired genomic alterations upon osimertinib resistance will likely require targeting multiple resistance mechanisms by combination therapies.

Heterogeneity-based, multiple mechanisms in the resistance to osimertinib (AZD9291): A case report.

Project description:Osimertinib is a novel, irreversible, mutant-selective epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor targeting EGFR mutations and the EGFR T790 mutation. Here, we report a woman with EGFR-mutated lung adenocarcinoma who, after 23-month treatment with gefitinib, developed the EGFR T790M mutation, which converted the T790M status from positive to negative before osimertinib treatment and developed MET amplification, leading to rapid progression on osimertinib in two months. Subsequent treatment with crizotinib and c-Met inhibitor plus gefitinib also failed to improve the clinical outcome, suggesting the potential existence of another resistance mechanism. Our findings revealed the underlying multiple and heterogeneous mechanisms in resistance to osimertinib, suggesting combination strategies should be considered post-osimertinib progression.

Brief Report: Combination of Osimertinib and Dacomitinib to Mitigate Primary and Acquired Resistance in EGFR-Mutant Lung Adenocarcinomas.

Project description:PurposePrimary and acquired resistance to osimertinib remain significant challenges for patients with EGFR-mutant lung cancers. Acquired EGFR alterations such as EGFR T790M or C797S mediate resistance to EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) and combination therapy with dual EGFR TKIs may prevent or reverse on-target resistance.Patients and methodsWe conducted two prospective, phase I/II trials assessing combination osimertinib and dacomitinib to address on-target resistance in the primary and acquired resistance settings. In the initial therapy study, patients received dacomitinib and osimertinib in combination as initial therapy. In the acquired resistance trial, dacomitinib with or without osimertinib was administered to patients with EGFR-mutant lung cancers with disease progression on osimertinib alone and evidence of an acquired EGFR second-site mutation.ResultsCutaneous toxicities occurred in 93% (any grade) of patients and diarrhea in 72% (any grade) with the combination. As initial therapy, the overall response to the combination was 73% [95% confidence interval (CI), 50%-88%]. No acquired secondary alterations in EGFR were observed in any patients at progression. In the acquired resistance setting, the overall response was 14% (95% CI, 1%-58%).ConclusionsWe observed no acquired secondary EGFR alterations with dual inhibition of EGFR as up-front treatment, but this regimen was associated with greater toxicity. The combination was not effective in reversing acquired resistance after development of a second-site acquired EGFR alteration. Our study highlights the need to develop better strategies to address on-target resistance in patients with EGFR-mutant lung cancers.

Mechanisms of Acquired Resistance to Savolitinib, a Selective MET Inhibitor in MET-Amplified Gastric Cancer.

Project description:PURPOSE:Some gastric cancers harbor MET gene amplifications that can be targeted by selective MET inhibitors to achieve tumor responses, but resistance eventually develops. Savolitinib, a selective MET inhibitor, is beneficial for treating patients with MET-driven gastric cancer. Understanding the resistance mechanisms is important for optimizing postfailure treatment options. PATIENTS AND METHODS:Here, we identified the mechanisms of acquired resistance to savolitinib in 3 patients with gastric cancer and MET-amplified tumors who showed a clinical response and then cancer progression. Longitudinal circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) is useful for monitoring resistance during treatment and progression when rebiopsy cannot be performed. RESULTS:Using a next-generation sequencing 100-gene panel, we identified the target mechanisms of resistance MET D1228V/N/H and Y1230C mutations or high copy number MET gene amplifications that emerge when resistance to savolitinib develops in patients with MET-amplified gastric cancer. CONCLUSION:We demonstrated the utility of ctDNA in gastric cancer and confirmed this approach using baseline tumor tissue or rebiopsy.

Osimertinib + Savolitinib to Overcome Acquired MET-Mediated Resistance in Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor-Mutated, MET-Amplified Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer: TATTON.

Project description:MET-inhibitor and EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI) combination therapy could overcome acquired MET-mediated osimertinib resistance. We present the final phase Ib TATTON (NCT02143466) analysis (Part B, n = 138/Part D, n = 42) assessing oral savolitinib 600 mg/300 mg once daily (q.d.) + osimertinib 80 mg q.d. in patients with MET-amplified, EGFR-mutated (EGFRm) advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and progression on prior EGFR-TKI. An acceptable safety profile was observed. In Parts B and D, respectively, objective response rates were 33% to 67% and 62%, and median progression-free survival (PFS) was 5.5 to 11.1 months and 9.0 months. Increased antitumor activity may occur with MET copy number ≥10. EGFRm circulating tumor DNA clearance on treatment predicted longer PFS in patients with detectable baseline ctDNA, while acquired resistance mechanisms to osimertinib + savolitinib were mediated by MET, EGFR, or KRAS alterations.SignificanceThe savolitinib + osimertinib combination represents a promising therapy in patients with MET-amplified/overexpressed, EGFRm advanced NSCLC with disease progression on a prior EGFR-TKI. Acquired resistance mechanisms to this combination include those via MET, EGFR, and KRAS. On-treatment ctDNA dynamics can predict clinical outcomes and may provide an opportunity to inform earlier decision-making. This article is highlighted in the In This Issue feature, p. 1.

Mechanisms of resistance to osimertinib.

Project description:The introduction of epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) has significantly improved the prognosis of advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with EGFR mutations. The most common mechanism of acquired resistance to first- and second-generation EGFR TKIs is represented by the secondary T790M mutation. Osimertinib, a third-generation TKI designed to target both EGFR sensitizing mutations and T790M, was first approved for the treatment of EGFR T790M mutation-positive NSCLC patients in progression after EGFR TKI therapy. The FLAURA study demonstrated that first-line treatment of EGFR mutant patients with osimertinib significantly improved progression free survival (PFS) over first-generation EGFR-TKIs, thus leading to its approval also in this setting. Moreover, osimertinib has shown significant central nervous system (CNS) activity and a favorable safety profile. The current review focuses on the clinical development of osimertinib, the mechanisms of acquired resistance identified in patients receiving osimertinib and the strategies currently under evaluation to overcome resistance.

Brief Report: Severe Pneumonitis After Combined Thoracic Radiotherapy and Osimertinib.

Project description:IntroductionOsimertinib is an effective treatment for metastatic NSCLC. Occasionally, thoracic radiation therapy (TRT) is delivered to patients receiving osimertinib to treat residual or progressing pulmonary tumors. Anecdotal reports suggest that the delivery of TRT in combination with osimertinib may be associated with a high risk of severe pneumonitis.MethodsA retrospective study was performed at a single academic medical center in the United States to investigate the incidence of severe pneumonitis among patients treated with combined TRT and osimertinib between June 2016 and December 2021. Baseline patient characteristics, tumor size and location, and dosimetric parameters were evaluated. The highest grade of radiation pneumonitis that developed within 6 months of treatment was scored in accordance with the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5.0.ResultsA total of 16 patients were identified who were treated with combined TRT and osimertinib. All had a diagnosis of metastatic NSCLC. Treatment-related grade greater than or equal to 2 pneumonitis developed in 56%, grade greater than or equal to 3 in 37.5%, and grade 4 in 6.3%; no patient developed grade 5 pneumonitis. Median time to any-grade pneumonitis was 29 days (1-84 d); all patients had symptom resolution with expectant management or oral steroid therapies. All patients discovered to have grade greater than or equal to 3 pneumonitis (n = 6) received TRT to tumors located within 2 cm of the proximal bronchial tree, including tumors abutting the proximal bronchial tree (n = 2) and within the mediastinum (n = 1).ConclusionsThe combination of TRT with osimertinib was associated with a high rate of severe pneumonitis that required oral steroid medications. Larger studies are needed to validate these findings and to understand the clinical and treatment factors that influence this risk and how they can be mitigated.
