Article Abstract

The clinical activity and favorable toxicity profile of osimertinib has led it to be approved not only for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with T790M-positive tumors when first, or second-generation epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI) treatment fails, but also for untreated advanced NSCLC patients with EGFR sensitizing mutation, so how to manage patients who get acquired resistance to osimertinib has becoming an emerging clinical challenge. This presentation would report a case of an advanced NSCLC patient with EGFR 19DEL who received combination therapy of toripalimab and chemotherapy after resistance to first line osimertinib therapy and achieved a PFS benefit of over 8 months. This case highlighted that immune checkpoint blockade combined chemotherapy might be a new possibility for advanced NSCLC patients with acquired resistance to osimertinib.

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains a leading cause of cancer-related mortality, with "epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)" mutations playing a pivotal role in tumor progression and carcinogenesis. "Third-generation epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs)," such as Osimertinib, have significantly improved treatment outcomes by overcoming resistance mechanisms like the T790M mutation. However, Osimertinib's clinical application is limited by cardiotoxicity concerns, necessitating safer alternatives.

Protein kinases are central regulators of cell signaling and play pivotal roles in a wide array of diseases, most notably cancer and autoimmune disorders. The clinical success of kinase inhibitors-such as imatinib and osimertinib-has firmly established kinases as valuable drug targets. However, the development of selective, potent inhibitors remains challenging due to the conserved nature of the ATP-binding site, off-target effects, resistance mutations, and patient-specific variability.

Identifying meaningful drug response biomarkers from public pharmacogenomic datasets with biologically informed interpretable neural networks.

With the advancements of next-generation sequencing, publicly available pharmacogenomic datasets from cancer cell lines provide a handle for developing predictive models of drug responses and identifying associated biomarkers. However, many currently available predictive models are often just used as black boxes, lacking meaningful biological interpretations. In this study, we made use of open-source drug response data from cancer cell lines, in conjunction with KEGG pathway information, to develop sparse neural networks, K-net, enabling the prediction of drug response in EGFR signaling pathways and the identification of key biomarkers.

Background: The clinical impact of rare epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) exon 19 insertion-deletion (19delins) variants on tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) efficacy remains poorly characterized. We updated 5-year outcomes to evaluate long-term survival and optimal treatment strategies in advanced lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) patients harboring these mutations.

Materials And Methods: In this multicenter prospective study, 36 treatment-naive advanced LUAD patients with EGFR 19delins mutations received first-generation (n = 26) or third-generation TKIs (n = 10).

A Hybrid Protein-Oxygen Nanomedicine Overcomes Osimertinib Resistance in NSCLC via HIF-1α/VEGF/EGFR Inhibition.

Purpose: Osimertinib, established as the frontline treatment for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), can effectively prolong progression-free survival. However, it faces the problem of reduced treatment persistence due to acquired drug resistance. Meanwhile, tumor hypoxia is also a key driver of drug resistance.
