Most patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) develop acquired drug resistance to EGFR inhibitors. Osimertinib, a third-generation inhibitor, often sees its therapeutic effect reduced due to the C797S mutation of EGFR exon 20, which blocks the binding of Cys797 to osimertinib.
Researchers at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute are advancing a fourth-generation allosteric EGFR inhibitor, EAI-432, to treat non-small-cell lung cancer driven by mutations in the EGFR gene, particularly the L858R mutation.
