The antitumor activity of osimertinib plus palbociclib in non-small cell lung cancer patient-derived xenograft (PDX)/2D/3D culture models harboring EGFR amplification and CDKN2A/2B homozygous deletions.

ABSTRACT: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients without targetable driver mutation have limited treatment options. In this study, we aimed to explore a new therapeutic strategy by using established nine patient-derived xenograft (PDX) and two-dimensional (2D) /3D culture models with specific genetic alternations. The gene mutations and copy number aberrations were detected by next-generation sequencing and confirmed using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) followed by DNA sequencing, and genomic DNA quantitative PCR. Protein expression was evaluated by immunohistochemistry. Drug sensitivities of PDX/2D/3D models were evaluated by in vivo and in vitro antitumor assays. RNA interference was performed to silence gene expression. Our study found that 44.4 % (4/9) of cases had CDKN2A homozygous deleti
