C-MET inhibitors for advanced non-small cell lung cancer

Abstract: The role of the c-mesenchymal-epithelial transition factor (c-MET) signaling pathway in tumor progression and invasion has been extensively studied. C-MET inhibitors have shown anti-tumor activity in NSCLC both in preclinical and in clinical trials. However, given the molecular heterogeneity of NSCLC, it is likely that only a specific subset of NSCLC patients will benefit from c-MET inhibitors. Emerging data also suggest that MET inhibitors in combination with EGFR-TKIs (epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosi… Show more

“…Interestingly, inhibition of autophagy consistently led to re-sensitization to c-Met inhibitors during EMT. The c-Met oncogene is one of the two most highly mutated tyrosine kinase receptors in NSCLC, and resistance to tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) invariably follows after treatment [56]. Indeed, resistance to erlotinib is common in lung cancer, and ATG16L1 knockdown re-sensitized cells to increased EMT-induced erlotinib resistance.…”

“…To date, there are no clinical studies of 18 F-FLT PET/CT of novel targeted therapiesin assessing early response in lung cancer. c-MET inhibitors, have the potential to benefit subsets of lung cancer patients with specific genetic alterations [16]. Exon-14 skipping mutations appear so far to be the most promising molecular subset that is sensitive to c-MET inhibitors, whereas overexpression, amplification, and point mutations of MET seem more challenging subgroups to target [17].…”
