Response Heterogeneity of EGFR and HER2 Exon 20 Insertions to Covalent EGFR and HER2 Inhibitors

Insertion mutations in EGFR and HER2 both occur at analogous positions in exon 20. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with tumors harboring these mutations seldom achieve clinical responses to dacomitinib and afatinib, two covalent quinazoline-based inhibitors of EGFR or HER2, respectively. In this study, we investigated the effects of specific EGFR and HER2 exon 20 insertion mutations from NSCLC patients that had clinically achieved a...
