Osimertinib in EGFR-Mutated Lung Cancer: A Review of the Existing and Emerging Clinical Data

Abstract: The use of epidermal growth factor receptor ( EGFR ) inhibitors such as osimertinib has improved outcomes and quality of life for patients with EGFR -mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Osimertinib has become the preferred EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKIs) for patients with these mutations after demonstrating superior efficacy compared to first generation EGFR TKIs, such as erlotinib and gefitinib.

“…EGFR is activated in four phases (7,(20)(21)(22) (Figure 2): 1) The ligand binds to the extracellular domain of EGFR; 2) Homodimerization or heterodimerization with ErbB-2, ErbB-3, and ErbB-4 (also known as HER-2, HER-3, and HER-4, respectively) occurs. ErbB-2 is the most common heterodimerization partners of EGFR; 3) Autophosphorylation of tyrosine residues in the cytoplasmic domain occurs; 4) The activation of the intracellular signaling pathway occurs, which regulates cell proliferation, migration, differentiation, and apoptosis.…”

“…Herein, a sufficient challenge is higher range of adverse effects during combinate therapy. For example, in osimertinib plus savolitinib tests with patients with mutations in EGFR and MET genes, overall response rate was 30% and high grade adverse effects occurred in 57% [137][138][139]. Another targeted drug for lung cancer treatment complies neovascularization inhibitors, within multiple receptor inhibitors (e.g., sorafenib), small-molecule tropomyosin receptor kinase inhibitors and serine/threonine inhibitors or CDK inhibitors [135].…”

“…Therefore, the NSCLC is treated based on the oncogene mutations [ 65 , 66 , 67 ]. Many EGFR inhibitors are available in the market to treat NSCLC with common mutations [ 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 68 ]. The EGFRex20ins mutation is considered an uncommon mutation and has also been acknowledged as a separate subclass of EGFR mutations [ 69 ].…”

“…The overexpression of EGFR is implicated in the pathogenesis of human cancers, including NSCLC [ 8 ]. Many EGFR inhibitors are in clinical practice to treat NSCLC, for example, erlotinib [ 9 ], gefitinib [ 10 ], afatinib [ 11 , 12 ], dacomitinib [ 13 ], and osimertinib [ 14 ]. However, many types of mutations, including the EGFR exon 20 insertions (EGFRex20ins) mutation, have been reported in EGFR [ 15 ].…”
