P3.02b-052 Afatinib with or without Cetuximab for First-Line Treatment of EGFR-Mutant NSCLC: Interim Safety Results of SWOG S1403

The treatment of lung cancer has changed dramatically with the development of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) that target sensitizing somatic mutations of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). Despite remarkable initial responses, patients eventually develop progressive disease, with the most common cause of resistance to first-line EGFR TKIs being the acquired T790M mutation. Various third-generation EGFR TKIs have been developed to specifically target this acquired mutation, of which osimertinib is currently the only approved agent. In addition, the eagerly anticipated data from the FLAURA study recently found improved efficacy with increased progression-free survival (PFS) with osimertinib compared to standard of care first-generation EGFR TKIs in the first-line setting. Of note, osimertinib has also demonstrated promising efficacy in patients with known brain metastases. However, as patients invariably develop resistance during treatment with osimertinib, most commonly with the development of triple mutated EGFR (sensitizing mutations/T790M/C797S), which is resistant to all existing EGFR TKIs, efforts are currently ongoing to develop new strategies or novel compounds to specifically target this resistance mechanism.
