Specific HER2 Exon 20 Gly776 Deletion-Insertions in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer: Structural Analysis and Sensitivity to HER2-Targeted Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors.

ABSTRACT: Background: HER2 exon 20 insertions remain a subset heterogeneous alterations in lung cancer, with currently unmet need for precision targeted therapy. G776delinsVC, a typical HER2 exon 20 deletion-insertion at codon Gly776, was reported to respond discrepantly to afatinib compared with the predominant insertion A775_G776insYVMA (YVMA). However, it lacks structural evidence to illustrate the possible mechanism and predict the binding activities of its similar variants over YVMA insertion to HER2-targered tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). Methods: Real-world cohort study was performed to investigate clinical outcomes with HER2-targeted TKI afatinib and pyrotinib, and structural analysis for exon 20 Gly776 deletion-insertions G776delinsVC, G776delin
