AbstractHuman epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) positive breast cancer accounts for 20–25% of all breast cancers. Multiple HER2-targeted therapies have been developed over the last few years, including the tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) lapatinib, neratinib, tucatinib, and pyrotinib. These drugs target HER2 and other receptors of the epidermal growth factor receptor family, therefore each has unique efficacy and adverse event profile. HER2-directed TKIs have been studied in the early stage and advanced settings and have shown promising responses. There is increasing interest in utilizing these drugs in combination with chemotherapy and /or other HER2-directed agents in patients with central nervous system involvement, TKIs have shown to be effective in this setting for which treatment options have been previously limited and the prognosis remains poor. The aim of this review is to summarize currently approved TKIs for HER2+ breast, key clinical trials, and their use in current clinical practice.

Background: Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) show variable efficacy in epidermal growth factor receptor mutation-positive (EGFR+) NSCLC patients, even in patients harbouring the same mutation. Co-alterations may predict different outcomes to TKIs. Methods: We retrospectively analysed all consecutive EGFR+ advanced NSCLC treated with first-line TKIs at our Institutions. NGS with a 22 genes clinical panel was performed on diagnostic specimens. PD-L1 expression was also evaluated. Results: Of the 106 analysed specimens, 59 showed concomitant pathogenic mutations. No differences in OS (mOS 22.8 vs. 29.5 months; p = 0.088), PFS (mPFS 10.9 vs. 11.2 months; p = 0.415) and ORR (55.9% vs. 68.1%; p = 0.202) were observed comparing patients without and with co-alterations. Subgroup analysis by EGFR mutation type and TKIs generation (1st/2nd vs. 3rd) did not show any difference too. No correlations of PD-L1 expression levels by co-mutational status were found. Significant associations with presence of co-alterations and younger age (p = 0.018) and baseline lymph nodes metastases (p = 0.032) were observed. Patients without concomitant alterations had a significant higher risk of bone progression (26.5% vs. 3.3%, p = 0.011). Conclusions: Pathogenic co-alterations does not seem to predict survival nor efficacy of EGFR TKIs in previously untreated advanced NSCLC.

Background: Epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors are effectively being used in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer. Although most of their adverse effects are mild to moderate, they occasionally can cause life-threatening interstitial lung disease. We aimed to present a case of lung adenocarcinoma successfully re-treated with erlotinib after recovery with effective treatment of erlotinib-induced interstitial lung disease. Case description: A 54-year-old nonsmoking woman was diagnosed with metastatic adenocarcinoma of the lung. After progression with first-line chemotherapy, erlotinib 150 mg daily was initiated. On the 45th day of erlotinib treatment, interstitial lung disease occurred and erlotinib was discontinued. Clinical improvement was achieved with dexamethasone treatment and erlotinib was re-initiated. Ten weeks after re-initiation of erlotinib, 100 mg daily partial response was observed. Conclusions: Incidence of interstitial lung disease is higher in men, smokers, and patients with pulmonary fibrosis. Interstitial lung disease radiologically causes ground-glass opacity and consolidation. The physician should quickly evaluate new respiratory symptoms in patients treated with epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors, discontinue the epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor treatment, and initiate corticosteroids if clinical diagnosis is interstitial lung disease.

Receptor Family

The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is a receptor tyrosine kinase of the ErbB receptor family that is abnormally activated in many epithelial tumors. The aberrant activation of the EGFR leads to enhanced proliferation and other tumor-promoting activities, which provide a strong rationale to target this receptor family. There are two classes of anti-EGFR agents: monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) directed at the extracellular domain of the receptor and small molecule, adenosine triphosphate–competitive inhibitors of the receptor's tyrosine kinase. Anti-EGFR MAbs have shown antitumor activity in advanced colorectal carcinoma, squamous cell carcinomas of the head and neck, non–small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and renal cell carcinomas. The tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have a partially different activity profile. They are active against NSCLC, and a specific EGFR inhibitor has shown improvement in survival. Recently, mutations and amplifications of the EGFR gene have been identified in NSCLC and predict for enhanced sensitivity to anti-EGFR TKIs. In addition to specific anti-EGFR TKIs, there are broader acting inhibitors such as dual EGFR HER-2 inhibitors and combined anti-pan-ErbB and antivascular endothelial growth factor receptor inhibitors. Current research efforts are directed at selecting the optimal dose and schedule and identifying predictive factors of response and resistance beyond EGFR gene mutations and/or amplifications. Finally, there is a need for improved strategies to integrate anti-EGFR agents with conventional therapies and to explore combinations with other molecular targeted approaches including other antireceptor therapies, receptor-downstream signaling transduction inhibitors, and targeted approaches interfering with other essential drivers of cancer, such as angiogenesis.
