Abstract
Background: Some studies of dual-targeted therapy (DTT) targeting epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and mesenchymal-epithelial transition (MET) have shown promising efficacy in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Consequently, patient management following DTT resistance has gained significance. However, the underlying resistance mechanisms and clinical outcomes in these patients remain unclear. Objectives: This study aimed to delineate the molecular characteristics and survival outcomes of patients with NSCLC harboring EGFR mutations and acquired MET amplification after developing resistance to DTT. Design: We conducted a retrospective analysis of patients with NSCLC with EGFR mutations and acquired MET amplification who exhibited resistance to EGFR/MET DTT. Methods: Next-generation sequencing (NGS) was performed on patients with available tissue samples before and/or after the development of resistance to DTT. Stratified analyses were carried out based on data sources and subsequent salvage treatments. Univariate/multivariate Cox regression models and survival analyses were employed to explore potential independent prognostic factors. Results: The study included 77 NSCLC patients, with NGS conducted on 19 patients. We observed many resistance mechanisms, including EGFR-dependent pathways (4/19, 21.1%), MET-dependent pathways (2/19, 10.5%), EGFR/MET co-dependent pathways (2/19, 10.5%), and EGFR/MET-independent resistance mechanisms (11/19, 57.9%). Post-progression progression-free survival (pPFS) and post-progression overall survival (pOS) significantly varied among patients who received the best supportive care (BSC), targeted therapy, or chemotherapy (CT), with median pPFS of 1.5, 3.9, and 4.9 months, respectively ( p = 0.003). Median pOS were 2.3, 7.7, and 9.2 months, respectively ( p < 0.001). The number of treatment lines following DTT resistance and the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status emerged as the independent prognostic factors. Conclusion: This study revealed a heterogeneous landscape of resistance mechanisms to EGFR/MET DTT, with a similar prevalence of on- and off-target mechanisms. Targeted therapy or CT, as compared to BSC, exhibited the potential to improve survival outcomes for patients with advanced NSCLC following resistance to DTT.

要点】:本研究揭示了EGFR突变和MET扩增的非小细胞肺癌患者对EGFR/MET双靶治疗产生耐药性的分子特征及临床预后,发现多种耐药机制并存,且不同后续治疗方案对生存期有显著影响。

方法】:通过回顾性分析及下一代测序技术(NGS)研究了耐药患者的分子特征,并使用单变量/多变量Cox回归模型和生存分析探讨了预后因素。

实验】:共分析了77名NSCLC患者,对其中19名患者进行了耐药前后的NGS分析,发现了包括EGFR依赖性、MET依赖性、EGFR/MET共同依赖性和EGFR/MET非依赖性等多种耐药机制。后续治疗包括最佳支持治疗(BSC)、靶向治疗和化疗,结果显示靶向治疗或化疗相较于最佳支持治疗可显著改善患者生存期。
