Compared with gefitinib alone, gefitinib combined with carboplatin plus pemetrexed improved PFS in patients with untreated advanced NSCLC with EGFR mutations with an acceptable toxicity profile, although its OS benefit requires further validation.
Functional outcomes and survival after surgical stabilization for inoperable non-small-cell lung cancer with spinal metastasis of the thoracic and lumbar spines: a retrospective comparison between epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitor and platinum-based chemotherapy groups.
Uncommon EGFR mutation showed a significantly lower incidence of acquired T790M mutation and benefited significantly less from subsequent osimertinib treatment than common EGFR mutations in patients with advanced NSCLC.
The expression of miR-34a, Axl, Gas6 and related downstream signaling proteins in the EGFR mutant NSCLC cell lines were determined by qRT-PCR and Western blot; PC9-Gef-miR-34a and HCC827-Gef-miR-34a cells were established by transfecting the parent cells with a miR-34a overexpressing virus, then the expression of Axl, Gas6 and the downstream channel-related proteins were also compared in PC9-Gef-miR-34a and HCC827-Gef-miR-34a and drug-resistant strains.
Design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of novel substituted thiourea derivatives as potential anticancer agents for NSCLC by blocking K-Ras protein-effectors interactions.
In this review, we describe the structural and mechanistic features of rare EGFR mutations in NSCLC and discuss the preclinical and clinical evidence for EGFRi response for individual rare EGFR mutations.
A systematic review and network meta-analysis (NMA) were conducted to compare the relative efficacy of gefitinib, erlotinib, afatinib, and osimertinib in EGFR-mutated NSCLC.
<i>Objective:</i> ASTRIS is a large real-world, open-label, multinational clinical study of osimertinib in patients with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) T790M mutation-positive advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have previously received a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI).
This was a phase III randomized trial in patients with advanced NSCLC harboring an <i>EGFR</i>-sensitizing mutation and a performance status of 0 to 2 who were planned to receive first-line palliative therapy.
Correction to: Re-challenge of afatinib after 1st generation EGFR-TKI failure in patients with previously treated non-small cell lung cancer harboring EGFR mutation.
Two independent cohorts consisting of advanced EGFR-mutated NSCLC patients treated with first-line EGFR-TKIs, a derivation cohort that started treatment between August 2013 and July 2016 (cohort A, n = 44) and a validation cohort between August 2016 and December 2017 (cohort B, n = 22), were examined in this study.
Olmutinib was approved in South Korea in May 2016 for the treatment of patients suffering from locally advanced or metastatic epidermal growth factor receptorT790M mutation-positive non-small cell lung cancer.
Hypoxia in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is an important factor in treatment resistance including radiotherapy, chemotherapy and EGFR-TKI therapy.
Small-molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitors seem well suited to be tailor-made therapeutics for EGFR mutant NSCLC; however, drug resistance mutations limit their success.
