Background: MET dysregulation has been implicated in the development of primary and secondary resistance to EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy. However, the clinicopathological characteristics and outcomes of patients harboring EGFRsensitive mutations and de novo MET amplifications still need to be explored. Methods: A total of 54 patients from our hospital with non-small cell lung cancer harboring EGFR-sensitive mutations and/or de novo MET amplifications were included in this study. Survival rates were estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method with logrank statistics. Lung cancer organoids (LCOs) were generated from patient-derived malignant pleural effusion to perform drug sensitivity assays. Results: Fifty-four patients with the appropriate clinicopathological characteristics were enrolled. MET FISH was performed in 40 patients who were stratified accordingly into two groups: EGFR+/METamp-(n = 22) and EGFR+/METamp + (n = 18). Survival rates for EGFR+/METamp-and EGFR+/METamp + patients respectively, were as follows: the median progression-free survival (PFS) was 12.1 and 1.9 months (p<0.001); the median post-progression overall survival (pOS) was 25.6 and 11.6 months (p = 0.023); the median overall survival (OS) was 33.2 and 12.7 months (p = 0.013). Drug testing conducted in LCOs derived from malignant pleural effusion from EGFR+/METamp + patients showed that dual targeted therapy was more effective than TKI monotherapy. Conclusion: EGFR+/METamp + patients treated with first-line TKI monotherapy had poor clinical outcomes. Dual targeted therapy showed potent anticancer activity in the LCO drug testing assay, suggesting that it is a promising first-line treatment for EGFR+/METamp + patients. Randomized controlled trials are needed to further validate these results.K E Y W O R D S de novo MET amplification, EGFR-sensitive mutation, non-small cell lung cancer, patient-derived organoid, targeted therapy Kai-Cheng Peng and Jun-Wei Su contributed equally.
