Approved molecularly targeted agents in advanced NSCLC • Erlotinib and gefitinib in patients who received prior chemotherapy • No patient selection • Gefitinib for EGFR mutants (EMEA) • Bevacizumab in first line with carbo-taxol (FDA) or with a platinum-based regimen (EMEA) • Non-squamous, no hemoptysis, no brain metastases
EGFR inhibitors in NSCLC-The EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (erlotinib and gefitinib) have clinical activity in about 10% of metastatic NSCLC patients. -But no survival advantage has been obtained by the combination with standard chemotherapy-Activity has been associated with activating EGFR mutations
EGFR mutations and response to EGFR-TKI in advanced NSCLC ●Mutation frequency approximately 12% in Caucasians●More frequent in never-smokers, women, adenocarcinoma, BAC and Asians ●Rare or absent in other tumor types●Presence of a mutation predicts response to small molecules EGFR inhibitors●Presence of EGFR mutations confers distinct survival advantage (20 m vs 8 m) upon treatment with EGFR TKIs●Early event in lung carcinogenesis

Tumor Response in Selected Subsets. ●The response rate is 14.4% for females and 6.0% for males (p = 0.0065).●The response rate is 13.9% for patients with adenocarcinoma and 3.8% for patients with squamous carcionoma (p = 0.0020).●The response rate is 24.7% in never smokers and 3.9% in smokers.
First line erlotinib in advanced NSCLC Response (n=53) 1 patient had a complete response lasting 183 days. 11 patients had a Partial response lasting 256 days. 17 patients had stable disease lsting 84 days. 12 patients had Progressive disease and 12 patients were Not evaluable at 6 weeks.
Correlation of smoking status and tumor type with responseIn patients who Never smoked, 3 females with adenocarcinoma had PR and 1 had SD.In females with BAC 3 had a PR. In females with other histology 2 had SD. In males with BAC 1 had PR.In former or current smokers, females with adenocarcinoma had 2 PR and 6 SD. Females with SCC and LCC each had 1 SD. Males with adenocarcinoma had 1 CR and 1SD. Males with SCC had 2 PR and 1 SD. Males with LCC or BAC had 3 and 1 SD respectively.

Of 28 patients with PI3K mutations, 0/3 were responders, 1/11 with SD, and 0/11 nonresponders. Of patients with K-ras mutations, 0/4 responded/ 3/10 had SD and 7/11 were non-responders.

IPASSPatients are Chemonaïve and Age ≥18 years. Patients should have Adenocarcinoma histology and a smoking history of Never or light ex-smokers*. The Life expectancy should be greater than 12 weeks and the tumor stage should be Measurable stage IIIB / IV disease. Patients are treated with gefitinib (250 mg/day) or carboplatin (AUC 5 or 6) with paclitaxel (200 mg/m2) 3 times weekly. Primary endpoints are Progression-free survival , whereas secondary endpoints are Objective response rate, Overall survival, Quality of life, Disease-related symptoms Safety and tolerability. Exploratory Biomarkers include EGFR mutation,EGFR-gene-copy number and EGFR protein expression.

Mechanisms of Acquired ResistancePatients with acquired resistance to Gefitinib/Erlotinib●Approximately 50% have EGFR T790M mutations which can be treated with a second generation EGFR inhibitor●Approximately 50% have EGFR T790M mutations and 30 percent of those are unresponsive. 20 percent have MET amplification and can be treated with a MET inhibitor
CausesMain Type Resistant EGFR mutations acquired Met amplification acquired HER2 mutations intrinsic Other receptor kinases (e.g. IGF1R) acquired EMT acquired K-RAS mutations intrinsic Strategies Second-generation EGFR inhibitors Met inhibitors Hsp90 inhibitors EGFR Resistance EMT = epithelial-mesenchymal transition; IGF1R = insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor
Acquired EGFR mutations confer resistance to gefitinib, but not all EGFR inhibitors
