Analysis of resistance mechanisms to abivertinib, a third-generation EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor, in patients with EGFR T790M-positive non-small cell lung cancer from a phase I trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Resistance to third-generation epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) presents a major clinical challenge in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Here, we report resistance mechanisms to abivertinib, a novel third-generation EGFR TKI, from a phase I dose-escalation/expansion study (NCT02330367).

Methods

Patients with EGFR T790M-positive advanced NSCLC and progression on prior EGFR TKIs received abivertinib in dose escalation (50-350 mg twice daily [BID]) or expansion (300 mg BID) cohorts. Patients enrolled at Guangdong Lung Cancer Institute who underwent next-generation sequencing (NGS)-based genomic profiling upon abivertinib progression (prior to October 30, 2018) were enrolled in this exploratory analysis.
