A macrocyclic kinase inhibitor overcomes triple resistant mutations in EGFR-positive lung cancer.

ABSTRACT: Brigatinib-based therapy was effective against osimertinib-resistant EGFR C797S mutants and is undergoing clinical studies. However, tumor relapse suggests additional resistance mutations might emerge. Here, we first demonstrated the binding mode of brigatinib to the EGFR-T790M/C797S mutant by crystal structure analysis and predicted brigatinib-resistant mutations through a cell-based assay including N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (ENU) mutagenesis. We found that clinically reported L718 and G796 compound mutations appeared, consistent with their proximity to the binding site of brigatinib, and brigatinib-resistant quadruple mutants such as EGFR-activating mutation/T790M/C797S/L718M were resistant to all the clinically available EGFR-TKIs.
