Abstract
Background In non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation is a representative oncogenic driver mutation. Only about 12% of EGFR mutation patients have the exon 20 insertion mutation, which is the third most frequent mutation among EGFR mutation NSCLC. Amivantamab, an EGFR and MET proto-oncogene, receptor tyrosine kinase (MET) bispecific antibody, was approved for NSCLC patients with the EGFR exon 20 insertion (E20I) mutation. In this study, we described the real-world, single-center efficacy and safety data of amivantamab in E20I mutation patients. Methods This study included metastatic NSCLC patients with EGFR E20I mutations. From January 2018 to June 2022, patients with EGFR E20I mutations who were treated with amivantamab were analyzed at Samsung Medical Center as part of the clinical trial or the early access program (EAP). We collected the patients' characteristics [age, sex, smoking history, location of mutation, sites of metastasis, programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression status, etc.] and analyzed progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) stratified by PD-L1 expression status, co-mutation such as tumor protein p53 (TP53), and metastasis sites. Results A total of 42 patients were analyzed, of which 16 patients were enrolled in the phase 1 study, and 26 patients received amivantamab through EAP. There were 14 (33%) patients with partial remission, 18 (43%) patients with stable disease, and 10 (24%) patients with disease progression. The objective response rate (ORR) was 33%, and the disease control rate (DCR) was 76%. PFS was analyzed by dividing the near and far loop for 31 patients whose mutation location was known. The two groups had no statistically significant difference in PFS [median (range): 11.8 (2.3-21.3) vs. 11.3 (3.4-19.2) months, P=0.69]. For 29 patients with TP53 mutation data, there was no significant difference in PFS between the two groups [median (range): 5.9 (0-18.0) vs. 12.6 (6.9-18.3) months, P=0.11]. When analyzing PFS in 37 patients with PD-L1 expression data, PD-L1 (+) patients showed a poor prognosis [median (range): 11.3 (5.0-17.6) vs. 19.5 (5.3-33.7) months, P=0.04; hazard ratio (HR), 0.44; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.20-0.98]. Conclusions The efficacy of amivantamab was confirmed for the real-world population for EGFR E20I-mutated NSCLC. PD-L1 status could be a poor predictive factor, which should be further validated.

Abstract
EGFR mutations comprise a sizeable portion of non-small cell lung cancers. While the most common EGFR mutation consists of exon 19 in-frame deletions and exon 21 point mutations, rare EGFR mutations have become a more frequent occurrence. Currently, no clinical guidelines exist for the treatment of such mutations. In this case, we see a 68-year-old non-small cell lung cancer male patient with a history of smoking presenting with a rare exon 20 R776H EGFR mutation who demonstrates a response to Osimertinib, further exploring potential standard treatments for patients with rare EGFR mutations.

Abstract
A non-small-cell-lung-cancer patient with cerebral metastasis presenting an atypical exon 20 mutation in the EGFR gene had a long-lasting tumor cotrol on mulimodal treatment with osimertinib and stereotaxic radiotherapy on oligoprogressing lesions. Most exon-20 mutations are resistant to first, second and third generation EGFR-directed TKI. This case was discussed on our molecular tumour board. As the more specific exon-20 targeted therapies were not yet available and as sporadic short responses on the third generation EGFR-directed TKI, osimertinib had been described, the patient started osimertinib. She had a prolonged tumoral response on Osimertinib. The patient is still asymptomatic up to 32 months after initiating the medication. This case confirms that not all exon20 EGFR mutations are equal to osimertinib and that the localization of the exon 20 insertion mutation is probably important to consider when treating EGFR mutated NSCLC. The long-term clinical benefit can be maintained through stereotactic radiotherapy on focal progressive lesions.

Abstract
Lung cancer is the foremost reason for cancer-related mortality among men and women. The ultimate goal of patient supervision post-diagnosis for advanced cases is to improve survival and quality of life with minimal treatment-associated side effects. With advancements in genomic medicine and a better understanding of cell signaling pathways, many actionable gene mutations have been identified in lung carcinoma, which drastically improve survival outcomes. Mutations in human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) and epidermal growth factor receptor together are observed in nearly 1-3% of cases and act as an oncogenic driver. In the case of HER2-mutant lung cancers, there are limited approved agents, and the treatment represents a critical unmet medical need because of the poorer survival outcomes compared to patients with additional oncogenic drivers. The recent standard of care of treatment is chemotherapy, but reports suggest that compared with cytotoxic chemotherapy, patients receiving HER2-directed therapies have relatively longer median survival duration. Here, we report a case of HER2 exon 20-mutated metastatic lung adenocarcinoma patient who received trastuzumab emtansine in the third-line setting and achieved durable disease control.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study is a comprehensive review of the clinical pharmacology, pharmacokinetics, efficacy, safety, and clinical applicability of amivantamab-vmjw for metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) exon 20 insertion (exon20ins) mutation. DATA SYNTHESIS The literature search to identify clinical trials returned only the CHRYSALIS phase 1 study. In a phase I trial, amivantamab-vmjw was associated with an overall response rate (ORR) of 40% (95% CI, 29-51) in the EGFR exon20ins NSCLC patient population (n = 81) after platinum-based chemotherapy. There were 3 complete responses (CRs) and 29 partial responses (PRs). The median duration of response (DOR) was 11.1 months (95% CI, 6.9-not reached; NR). The median progression-free survival (PFS) was 8.3 months (95% CI, 6.5-10.9), and overall survival (OS) was 22.8 months (95% CI, 14.6-NR). APPLICATION TO CLINICAL PRACTICE This review summarizes the pharmacology, clinical evidence, and use of amivantamab-vmjw for patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC with EGFR exon20ins mutation. CONCLUSION The FDA approval of amivantamab-vmjw, the first bispecific antibody to target the exon20ins mutation, represents an important advancement in the treatment of patients with NSCLC with limited effective treatment options. The initial findings of the CHRYSALIS trial demonstrate an overall tumor response benefit with an acceptable safety profile.

Abstract
Background Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) exon 20 insertion (EGFR ex20ins) is a common mutation in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Patients with EGFR ex20ins generally respond poor to EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs). EGFR ex20ins are often co-occurring with EGFR amplification. However, the impact of EGFR amplification on the survival of patients with EGFR ex20ins mutations has not been determined. Methods This is an observational longitudinal cohort study. A prospectively managed database included consecutive treatment-naïve adult patients with advanced NSCLC and EGFR ex20ins confirmed by next-generation sequencing (NGS) at Guangdong Provincial People’s Hospital between November 2017 and February 2019. The participants were enrolled from the database and extracted their clinical characteristics, treatment and clinical outcomes. NGS was used to establish whether EGFR amplification was present in tumor tissue. Overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were compared between EGFR amplification and non-EGFR amplification groups using the Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test. Subgroup analyses were performed based on the treatment used (EGFR-TKI or chemotherapy). Results Fifteen different EGFR ex20ins mutation subtypes were identified in the 39 patients included in the analysis, and the most common subtypes were p.A767_D770dup (25.6%), p.S768_D770dup (23.1%) and p.N771_H773dup (10.3%). Among 31 patients with EGFR ex20ins mutations and NGS data for tumor tissue, EGFR amplification was identified in 12 patients (38.7%) and there were no significant differences in clinical characteristics. Among 26 patients, there were no significant differences between the EGFR amplification (n=11) and non-EGFR amplification (n=15) groups in median OS (715 vs. 452 days, P=0.912). Among 20 patients administered chemotherapy, there were no significant differences between the EGFR amplification and non-EGFR amplification groups in median PFS (206 vs. 112 days, P=0.425). Among 24 patients administered an EGFR-TKI, median PFS was longer in the non-EGFR amplification group than in the EGFR amplification group (110 vs. 31 days, P=0.030). Conclusions There is a tendency that EGFR amplification might be a poor predictor in EGFR ex20ins-positive NSCLC patients treated with EGFR-TKIs.

Abstract
HER2 mutations have emerged as oncogenic driver gene mutations in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), which have not been described in detail like other driver gene mutations. Here, 295 patients with advanced lung adenocarcinoma were retrospectively screened for HER2 mutations using next-generation sequencing (NGS), and the positive cases were validated by Sanger sequencing. We identified five cases with HER2 exon 20 insertions, representing 1.7% of 295 lung adenocarcinomas. Among them, four different subtypes of HER2 exon 20 insertions were identified, including a rare subtype G778_S779insCPG never reported before with a partial response (PR) to pyrotinib and progression-free survival (PFS) of 12.8 months. Our findings reveal that HER2 exon 20 insertion mutations were detected in a small subset of lung adenocarcinomas. Given the different drug sensitivities, determining the mutation subtype by next-generation sequencing at the time of diagnosis might make sense.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To review the genomic landscape of advanced urothelial carcinoma (UC) to assess the frequencies of EGFR and ERBB2 (HER2) alterations. MATERIALS AND METHODS Tumour specimens from 3753 patients with advanced UC were assayed with hybrid capture-based comprehensive genomic profiling of 180-395 genes. Tumour mutational burden (TMB) was assessed on 0.8 or 1.1 Mb of DNA, and is reported as mutations per megabase. RESULTS In 3753 cases of UC, EGFR alterations were detected in 4.1% (154) and were most commonly amplifications (64%; 99/154), while exon 20 insertions (EGFRexon20ins ) were the second most common alteration (18%; 27/154). Alterations in ERBB2 were observed in 15% (552/3753) of cases and, similarly, ERBB2 amplification was the most commonly observed alteration (278/552; 50%); ERBB2exon20ins occurred in 3.6% (20/552) of cases. EGFRexon20ins and ERBB2exon20ins occurred in younger patients (median age 62 vs 69 years, P = 2.6E-2 and 60 vs 68 years, P = 7.8E-4), and these cases had significantly lower TMB (median 3.6 vs 7.2, P = 2.7E-4 and 2.5 vs 10, P = 1.2E-7) and less frequent TP53 alterations (3.7% vs 83%, P = 4.3E-14 and 20% vs 68%, P = 9.8E-4) compared to cases with other EGFR or ERBB2 alterations. CONCLUSION EGFR and ERBB2 alterations occur in 4% and 15% of UC, respectively. EGFRexon20ins and ERBB2exon20ins were present in 0.7% and 0.5% of UC overall and collectively define a small, but distinct, subset of UC with infrequent co-occurrence of other drivers and low TMB. Given recent promising clinical studies of inhibitors with activity against exon 20 insertions in non-small cell lung cancer, consideration should be given to developing a trial inclusive of patients with UC harbouring these alterations.

Abstract
We characterized the landscape and drug sensitivity of ERBB2 (HER2) mutations in cancers. In 11 datasets (n = 211,726), ERBB2 mutational hotspots varied across 25 tumor types. Common HER2 mutants yielded differential sensitivities to eleven EGFR/HER2 tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in vitro, and molecular dynamics simulations revealed that mutants with a reduced drug-binding pocket volume were associated with decreased affinity for larger TKIs. Overall, poziotinib was the most potent HER2 mutant-selective TKI tested. Phase II clinical testing in ERBB2 exon 20-mutant non-small cell lung cancer resulted in a confirmed objective response rate of 42% in the first 12 evaluable patients. In pre-clinical models, poziotinib upregulated HER2 cell-surface expression and potentiated the activity of T-DM1, resulting in complete tumor regression with combination treatment.

Abstract
Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene mutations play an important role in the treatment management of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. After a first- or second-generation EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy, the most common resistance mechanism involves the selection of a resistant clone carrying the exon 20 p.T790M point mutation. However, also for these patients, treated with a third-generation TKI (osimertinib) several mechanisms of acquired resistance are described. Here we report the case of a 68-year-old man with an EGFR exon 19 deletion treated with gefitinib in first line and osimertinib in second line besides on the presence of a p.T790M mutation, who developed an uncommon EGFR exon 20 p.L792Q point mutation at the progression to osimertinib, with the concomitant modification of the original sensitizing EGFR exon 19 deletion and the loss of p.T790M mutation.

Abstract
Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) exon 20 mutations are seldom tested for in part because they are less common than other EGFR driver mutations and are not associated with sensitivity to EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors. We report two cases of lung adenocarcinoma with EGFR exon 20 mutations and a presentation of diffuse, tiny, innumerable lung and brain nodules resembling miliary metastases. Clinicians should be aware of this pattern of presentation in patients with primary resistance EGFR exon 20 mutations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There are limited data available on the treatment and outcome of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) exon 20-mutated lung cancer patients. Hence, we planned an analysis of the demographic details, clinical profile and survival of lung cancer patients with exon 20 mutations. We compared our results to patients with EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI)-sensitizing activating and EGFR/anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)-negative mutations. METHODS This was a retrospective analysis of lung cancer patients who were treated at our center between January 2010 and August 2014. We reviewed the results of EGFR mutation testing by real-time polymerase chain reaction and Sanger sequencing. We also reviewed the data relating to baseline demographics, clinical profile, patient treatment and outcome measures in terms of response and overall survival (OS). RESULTS A total of 580 patients fulfilled the selection criteria. In all, 227 (39.1%) patients had EGFR TKI-sensitizing activating mutations, 20 (3.4%) patients had exon 20 insertion mutations and 333 patients were EGFR/ALK mutation negative (57.5%). The median OS was 5 months (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.17-9.8 months) in exon 20 insertion mutations, 16.1 months (95% CI 12.8-19.5 months) in EGFR TKI-sensitizing activating mutations and 10 months (95% CI 7.9-12.1 months) in EGFR/ALK mutation-negative patients. The median OS was significantly better for the EGFR TKI-sensitizing activating mutation group (P=0.000, log-rank test) and for the EGFR/ALK-negative group (P=0.037, log-rank test) compared to the exon 20-mutated group. CONCLUSION Exon 20 mutation results in a poorer OS prognosis compared to EGFR- and ALK-negative patients and patients harboring EGFR TKI-sensitizing activating mutations. The incidence of de novo exon 20 insertions was 3.4%. Different types of exon mutations seem to have different outcomes.

Abstract
The most frequent epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations found by traditional or comprehensive molecular profiling of lung adenocarcinomas include indels of exon 19 (the exon 19 deletion delE746_A750 being the most common) and the exon 21 L858R point mutation. The current approval labels for first line palliative gefitinib 250 mg/day, erlotinib 150 mg/day and afatinib 40 mg/day for advanced lung cancers require the presence of the aforementioned classical/sensitizing EGFR mutations. Other gefitinib, erlotinib and afatinib sensitizing mutations include exon 18 indels, G719X, exon 19 insertions, A763_Y764insFQEA, S768I and L861Q; for which off-label EGFR kinase inhibitor use is generally agreed upon by thoracic oncologists. The main biological mechanism of resistance to approved first line EGFR inhibitors is the selection/acquisition of EGFR-T790M that in itself can be inhibited by osimertinib 80 mg/day, a 3(rd) generation EGFR inhibitor that is bypassed by EGFR-C797X mutations. Another class of de novo inhibitor insensitive mutation includes EGFR exon 20 insertions. More recently, the dichotomy of only point mutations or indels explaining aberrant kinase activation of EGFR plus inhibitor response has been shattered by the discovery of uncommon (<0.5% of all EGFR mutations) genomic events involving exon 18-25 kinase domain duplications (KDD) and rearrangements (EGFR-RAD51 or EGFR-PURB). The latter lead to oncogene addiction, enhanced sensitivity to kinase inhibitors in vitro and clinical responses to approved EGFR inhibitors. The enhanced landscape of EGFR inhibitor-responsive genotypes highlights that comprehensive molecular profiling may be necessary to maximize the identification of all cases that can benefit from precision oncology.

Abstract
PURPOSE Subsets of non-small-cell lung cancer patients with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations carry uncommon subtypes. We evaluated the efficacy of first-generation EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs; erlotinib, gefitinib, and icotinib) in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer carrying insertions and T790M and S768I mutations in EGFR exon 20. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients carrying EGFR exon 20 insertion/T790M/S768I mutations and treated with EGFR-TKIs were evaluated from 2005 to 2014 in Zhejiang Cancer Hospital. The efficacy was evaluated using the Kaplan-Meier method and compared with the log-rank test. RESULTS Sixty-two patients with exon 20 insertion/T790M/S768I mutations were enrolled. Mutations including exon 20 insertions and T790M and S768I mutations were observed in 29, 23, and ten patients, respectively. In total, the response rate and median progression-free survival (PFS) were 8.1% and 2.1 months, respectively. Patients with S768I mutation manifested the longest median PFS (2.7 months), followed by those with T790M (2.4 months) and exon 20 insertions (1.9 months; P=0.022). Patients with complex mutations show a better PFS than those with single mutations (2.7 months vs 1.9 months; P=0.034). CONCLUSION First-generation EGFR-TKIs are less effective in patients with exon 20 uncommon mutations than in those with common mutations. Patients with complex mutations benefited more from first-generation EGFR-TKIs than those with single mutations.

Abstract
Hereditary breast cancer constitutes 5-10% of all breast cancer cases. Inherited mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 tumor-suppressor genes account for the majority of hereditary breast cancer cases. The BRCA1 C-terminal region (BRCT) has a functional duplicated globular domain, which helps with DNA damage repair and cell cycle checkpoint protein control. More than 100 distinct BRCA1 missense variants with structural and functional effects have been documented within the BRCT domain. Interpreting the results of mutation screening of tumor-suppressor genes that can have high-risk susceptibility mutations is increasingly important in clinical practice. This study includes a novel mutation, p.His1746 Pro (c.5237A>C), which was found in BRCA1 exon 20 of a breast cancer patient. In silico analysis suggests that this mutation could alter the stability and orientation of the BRCT domain and the differential binding of the BACH1 substrate.

Abstract
The phosphatidylinositol 3-kinases (PI3Ks) are members of a family of intracellular lipid kinases that phosphorylate the 3′-hydroxyl group of phosphatidylinositol and phosphoinositides. PI3K regulate signaling pathways for neoplasia, including cell proliferation, adhesion, survival, and motility. Different classes of PI3K have distinct roles in cellular signal transduction. PI3K pathway is activated by several different mechanisms in cancers, including, somatic mutation and gene amplification. In this review, we examine the literature addressing PI3K mutation status and gene amplification, with an emphasis on non-small cell lung cancer.
