The EGFR Exon 19 Mutant L747-A750>P Exhibits Distinct Sensitivity to Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors in Lung Adenocarcinoma.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

EGFR exon 19 deletion (Ex19Del) mutations account for approximately 60% of lung cancer-associated EGFR mutations and include a heterogeneous group of mutations. Although they are associated with benefit from tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI), the relative inhibitor sensitivity of individual Ex19Del mutations is unknown.Experimental Design: We studied the TKI sensitivity and structural features of common Ex19Del mutations and the consequences for patient outcomes on TKI treatment.

Results

We found that the L747-A750>P mutation, which represents about 4% of all Ex19Del mutations, displays unique inhibitor selectivity. L747-A750>P differs from other Ex19Del mutations in not being suppressed completely by erlotinib or osimertinib, yet is completely inhibited by low doses of afatinib. The HCC4006 cell line (with the L747-A750>P mutation) exhibited increased sensitivity to afatinib over erlotinib and osimertinib, and computational modeling suggests explanations for this sensitivity pattern. Clinically, patients with EGFR L747-A750>P mutant tumors showed inferior outcomes when treated with erlotinib than patients with E746-A750 mutant tumors.

Conclusions

These results highlight important differences between specific Ex19Del mutations that may be relevant for optimizing TKI choice for patients.

Project description:Background: The EGFR exon 20 insertions (ex20ins) D770_N771insSVD and V769_D770insASV are most frequent in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and are associated with intrinsic resistance to currently approved EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). A763_Y764insFQEA and D770delinsGY, respectively, account for 3%-8% and 2.0%-4.8% of EGFR ex20ins in NSCLC and are associated with a more favorable response to EGFR-specific TKIs as per case reports. The aim of this study was to elucidate the molecular structures of these mutants and their binding affinities to diverse EGFR TKIs and compare the clinical outcomes in NSCLC patients harboring these mutations. Methods: A real-world cohort study was conducted to evaluate and compare the clinical outcomes of EGFR TKIs among NSCLC patients with different EGFR ex20ins mutants in response to EGFR TKIs. The structures of A763_Y764insFQEA and D770delinsGY were also analyzed and drug binding simulations were performed. Results: With a median follow-up of 24.0 months, the first-line objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), and median progression-free survival (PFS) were, respectively, 0 (0/16), 50.0% (8/16), and 2.07 months (95%CI, 0-6.25) in patients harboring D770_N771insSVD and V769_D770insASV variants and 33.3% (4/12), 83.3% (10/12), and 9.97 months (95%CI, 4.75-15.19) in patients with A763_Y764insFQEA and D770delinsGY variants. There was a significant difference between the PFS of these two subgroups (median, 9.97 vs.2.07 months, HR = 0.33, 95%CI, 0.13-0.85, p = 0.02). Similarly, the PFS was significantly longer after second-line treatment with EGFR TKIs in patients harboring A763_Y764insFQEA and D770delinsGY compared to those with other insertions (median, 6.77 vs.2.23 months, HR = 0.14, p < 0.001). Computational simulations indicated that A763_Y764insFQEA and D770delinsGY mutants were structurally similar to wild-type EGFR. In contrast, the C-helix and phosphate-binding loop of D770_N771insSVD and V769_D770insASV had shifted into the drug-binding pocket, resulting in significant steric hindrance and a lack of affinity for the currently approved EGFR inhibitors. Conclusion: NSCLC patients harboring A763_Y764insFQEA and D770delinsGY insertions of EGFR are responsive to the currently approved EGFR TKIs as opposed to patients with the D770_N771insSVD and V769_D770insASV variants. Therefore, A763_Y764insFQEA and D770delinsGY should be classified as active mutations among heterogeneous EGFR ex20ins subtypes and the carriers can be treated with the suitable EGFR TKIs.
