The development of resistance to chemotherapy is one of the major obstacles in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The purpose of this study was to investigate the prognostic value of multidrug resistance protein 1 (MRP1), breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP), lung resistance-related protein (LRP), and excision repair cross-complementing 1 (ERCC1) in NSCLC patients receiving cisplatin-based adjuvant chemotherapy (cisplatin plus vinorelbine or gemcitabine) after tumor resection. We used semiquantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction to detect the expression of MRP1, BCRP, LRP and ERCC1 mRNA in surgical resection specimens of 60 patients with stage IB through IIIA NSCLC. The expression level of each gene was analyzed in relation to clinicopathological factors, tumor-free survival (TFS), and overall survival. The results showed that stage IIIA (p=0.011), N1 and N2 status (p=0.008), high expression of MRP1 (p=0.034) and LRP (p=0.018) were associated with shorter TFS. Stage IIIA (p=0.0105), N1 and N2 status (p=0.009), high expression of MRP1 (p=0.021) and ERCC1 (p=0.012) were related to a shorter overall survival. Cox multivariate analyses revealed that early stage (p=0.013 and p=0.024), negative lymph node status (p=0.006 and p=0.011), and low MRP1 expression (p=0.022 and p=0.035) were independent predictors of favorable TFS and overall survival, respectively. Additionally, ERCC1 (p=0.019) was an independent predictor of favorable overall survival.

Aim: Osimertinib is a key drug for EGFR mutation-positive non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). As the hazards ratio of overall survival in comparison with first-generation EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors was almost similar between FLAURA and ARCHER 1050, salvage use of osimertinib is still a treatment option. Patients & methods: We retrospectively analyzed the clinical courses of EGFR mutation-positive NSCLC patients who were potential candidates for salvage osimertinib. Results: Among 524 patients enrolled from five hospitals, 302 patients underwent biopsy, with 52.6% detection rate of T790M. Osimertinib was administered in 93.6% of the T790M-positive patients. The overall response rate and median progression-free survival time of osimertinib were calculated with 147 patients, to be 55.6% and 17.2 months, respectively. Conclusion: Osimertinib is active for T790M-driven acquired resistance in EGFR-mutant NSCLC, but the detection of T790M was unsatisfactory. Clinical Trial Registration: UMIN000028989 (UMIN Clinical Trials Registry)

Abstract The emergence of acquired resistance limits the long-term efficacy of EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs). Thus, development of effective strategies to overcome resistance to EGFR-TKI is urgently needed. Multiple mechanisms to reactivate ERK signaling have been successfully demonstrated in acquired resistance models. We found that in EGFR mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients, acquired resistance to EGFR-TKIs was accompanied by increased activation of ERK. Increased ERK activation was also found in in vitro models of acquired EGFR-TKI resistance. ASN007 is a potent selective ERK1/2 inhibitor with promising antitumor activity in cancers with BRAF and RAS mutations. ASN007 treatment impeded tumor cell growth and the cell cycle in EGFR-TKI-resistant cells. In addition, combination treatment with ASN007 and EGFR-TKIs synergistically decreased the survival of resistant cells, enhanced induction of apoptosis, and effectively inhibited the growth of erlotinib-resistant xenografts, providing the preclinical rationale for testing combinations of ASN007 and EGFR-TKIs in EGFR-mutated NSCLC patients. This study emphasizes the importance of targeting ERK signaling in maintaining the long-term benefits of EGFR-TKIs by overcoming acquired resistance.
