Repurposing EGFR Inhibitor Utility in Colorectal Cancer in Mutant APC and TP53 Subpopulations

Abstract: Background: EGFR is a major therapeutic target for colorectal cancer. Currently, extended RAS/RAF testing identifies only nonresponders to EGFR inhibitors (EGFRi). We aimed to develop a mutation signature that further refines drug-sensitive subpopulations to improve EGFRi outcomes. Methods: A prespecified, 203-gene expression signature score measuring cetuximab sensitivity (CTX-S) was validated with two independent clinical trial datasets of cetuximabtreated patients with colorectal cancer (n ¼ 44 and n ¼ 80) … Show more

“…This is further supported by in vitro studies showing a higher Cetuximab sensitivity in cells with down-regulated p53 [ 92 ]. Patients with mCRC harboring mutations in both APC and TP53 showed the highest sensitivity to treatment with Cetuximab, and were associated with an overall favorable outcome [ 93 ]. Those patients with tumors harboring wt- KRAS and a p53 mutation treated with Cetuximab-based chemotherapy had a longer time to progression (TTP) than those without p53 mutation [ 94 ].…”

“…Colorectal cancers with mutated APC conferred better overall survival (OS) than wild‐type tumors when treated with an epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitor [11]. These data suggest that APC mutation may account for EGFR inhibitor sensitivity and provide rationale for refining treatment guidelines in addition to extended RAS/RAF testing [11, 12].…”
