Lazertinib & Tepotinib for EGFR Mutant NSCLC in MET Overexpressed or Amplified Who Progressed After Lazertinib Treatment
As the 3rd generation, EGFR TKI has become a standard treatment option for the 1st line therapy in EGFR mutated patients, the necessity for evaluating resistant mechanism to determine the matched subsequent therapeutic option has been highlighted. From the 1st line Osimertinib treatment, the heterogenous resistance mechanism has been observed showing most commonly by MET amplification (7-15%) followed by additional on-target EGFR mutation (6-10%), BRAF, PI3KCA, KRAS, HER2 mutation (13-14%) and still 40 to 50% remain unknown for the mechanism.
