Abstract excerpt
EGFR is an important therapeutic target for non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLCs). Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), such as gefitinib and erlotinib, are effective in cases with EGFR-activating mutations. However, most such cases become resistant through a secondary EGFR mutation, T790M. While the second-generation TKI afatinib has a higher affinity for double-mutant EGFRs, better efficacy is needed. Combining...
