Mechanisms of resistance to EGFR-targeted drugs: lung cancer
Despite the improvement in clinical outcomes derived by the introduction of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) in the treatment of patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose tumours harbour EGFR-activating mutations, prognosis remains unfavourable because of the occurrence of either intrinsic or acquired resistance. We reviewed th...
متن کاملTrials to Overcome Drug Resistance to EGFR and ALK Targeted Therapies – Past, Present, and Future
Molecularly targeted agents are changing the therapeutic landscape in advanced non-small cell lung cancer. Since the discovery of sensitizing mutations in the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) domain, clinical investigations have focused on optimizing the efficacy of EGFR and ALK tyrosine kinase inhibitors by addressing therapeutic resistance that comm...
متن کاملClinical Significance of Skin Toxicity due to EGFR-Targeted Therapies
Many small molecules and monoclonal antibodies blocking the activity of Epidermal Growth factor receptor (EGFR) have been developed and have shown clinical activity in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), pancreatic cancer, and colorectal cancer (CRC), and are in clinical development for a range of other solid tumors. The toxicity profile of such agents is characterized by a typica...
متن کاملEGFR-targeted therapies in colorectal cancer.
The management of colorectal cancer relies heavily on the combination of the pyrimidine analog antimetabolite 5-fluorouracil with the platinum-based drug oxaliplatin or the topoisomerase inhibitor irinotecan. Optimization of dosing and scheduling of these agents to improve response and survival continues to evolve. Meanwhile, the rational targeting of molecular signaling pathways that are invol...
متن کاملJNK Pathway Activation Modulates Acquired Resistance to EGFR/HER2-Targeted Therapies.
Resistance limits the effectiveness of receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK)-targeted therapies. Combination therapies targeting resistance mechanisms can considerably improve response, but will require an improved understanding of when particular combinations will be effective. One common form of resistance is bypass signaling, wherein RTKs not targeted by an inhibitor can direct reactivation of path...
