Fc-Dependent Targeting of the GAS6-MERTK Axis With Monoclonal and Bispecific Antibodies Overcomes Drug Resistance Across EGFR Mutations in Exons 19, 20, and 21. [PDF]
EGFR mutations drive a substantial fraction of non‐small cell lung cancers (NSCLC) and are effectively targeted by tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), including osimertinib. However, resistance inevitably develops through secondary mutations and compensatory receptor activation, including the GAS6 receptor MERTK.

Ras homolog family member A expression is associated with reduced cetuximab sensitivity in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma [PDF]
Objectives Given that intrinsic and acquired resistance to cetuximab substantially limits its therapeutic efficacy in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, we sought to elucidate the role of Ras homolog family member A in mediating cetuximab resistance ...

Cetuximab is a monoclonal antibody blocking the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) in metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). However, cetuximab treatment has no clinical benefits in patients affected by mCRC with KRAS mutation or in the presence of ...

Cetuximab Induces Eme1-Mediated DNA Repair: a Novel Mechanism for Cetuximab Resistance
Overexpression of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is observed in a large number of neoplasms. The monoclonal antibody cetuximab/Erbitux is frequently applied to treat EGFR-expressing tumors.

Hypersensitivity reactions are a classic side effect of cetuximab. We report the cases of three patients who developed life-threatening hypersensitivity to cetuximab, which could have been predicted by assessing the concentration of serum anticetuximab ...

New Treatment Strategy and Future Research Direction for BRAF-Mutated Cancer. [PDF]
Treatment with BRAF inhibitor plus MEK inhibitor is currently used in BRAF‐mutated various malignancies except colorectal cancer, and treatments with BRAF and/or MEK inhibitors and anti‐EGFR antibody are used in BRAF‐mutated colorectal cancer. Despite recent advances in BRAF‐targeted therapies, their efficacy is still limited.

Impact of the Specific Mutation in KRAS Codon 12 Mutated Tumors on Treatment Efficacy in Patients with Metastatic Colorectal Cancer Receiving Cetuximab-Based First-Line Therapy: A Pooled Analysis of Three Trials [PDF]
Purpose: This study investigated the impact of specific mutations in codon 12 of the Kirsten-ras (KRAS) gene on treatment efficacy in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC).

Effective second-line treatment with cetuximab and bevacizumab in a patient with hepatic metastases of colorectal cancer and hyperbilirubinemia [PDF]
Background: Irinotecan-based second-line chemotherapy of metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) is effective, it might, however, be contraindicated in cases of severe liver dysfunction due to advanced liver metastases.

Polymorphisms within Immune Regulatory Pathways Predict Cetuximab Efficacy and Survival in Metastatic Colorectal Cancer Patients. [PDF]
Cetuximab, an IgG1 EGFR-directed antibody, promotes antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity. We hypothesized that single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in immune regulatory pathways may predict outcomes in patients with metastatic colorectal ...
