HER2 amplification: a potential mechanism of acquired resistance to EGFR inhibition in EGFR-mutant lung cancers that lack the second-site EGFRT790M mutation.

TL;DR: It is shown in vitro and in vivo that afatinib plus cetuximab significantly inhibits HER2 phosphorylation, and this results reveal a previously unrecognized mechanism of resistance to EGFR-TKIs and provide a rationale to assess the status and possibly target HER2 in EG FR-mutant tumors with acquired resistance toEGFR- TKIs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Acquired Resistance to the Mutant-Selective EGFR Inhibitor AZD9291 Is Associated with Increased Dependence on RAS Signaling in Preclinical Models

TL;DR: The detection of heterogeneous mechanisms of resistance within populations of EGFR-mutant cells with acquired resistance to current and newly developed EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors, including AZD9291, and NRAS modifications in tumor samples from patients who have progressed on current or EGFR inhibitors in development are described.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

Abstract A109: AZD9291: an irreversible, potent and selective third generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) targeting EGFR activating (EGFRm+) and resistance (T790M) mutations in advanced lung adenocarcinoma.

TL;DR: Preclinical data demonstrates that AZD9291 is a potent and effective inhibitor of both EGFR activating ( EGFRm+) and resistance (EGFRm+/T790M) mutations whilst sparing wild-type EGFR, and indicates that it could target tumours that have acquired resistance to the more recently identified HER2-amplification mechanism, thus potentially extending its benefit in TKI resistant patients.
