MET (MET proto-oncogene, receptor tyrosine kinase)

Utilising a robust next-generation sequencing platform, we have identified this mutation in 5.3% of cases in our cohort. In the absence of information on MET exon 14 skipping from India, this case series will throw some light on this variation in our subcontinent and highlights the fact that the real-world effectiveness of MET inhibitors like Tepotinib and Capmantinib might be lower than expected.

Our study, for the first time, established the mTORC2/AKT/FOXO1/RNF125 axis as a critical driver and therapeutic vulnerability in c-MET-activated/β-catenin-mutated HCC. Our study filled a critical gap by defining the tumor-suppressive role of FOXO1 specifically in this HCC subtype. Furthermore, our results positioned RNF125 as a promising therapeutic target for this aggressive HCC subtype.

A plasma sample serves as a supplement for identifying GPS when a tissue sample is unavailable. Moreover, the integration of FISH, NGS, and ddPCR provided a comprehensive assessment of MET amplification.

Primary and acquired MET mutations in NSCLC exhibit distinct genomic characteristics. Patients harboring concurrent EGFR mutations in NSCLC may derive less benefit from MET-TKI and ICI, whereas those harboring TP53 co-mutations tend to experience more favorable outcomes compared with TP53 wild-type NSCLC patients when treated with MET-TKI.

Combined inhibition of FGFR1 and MET significantly suppressed tumor growth in resistant cells. These findings establish MET amplification and GAB1-SHP2 signaling as central mediators of erdafitinib resistance in FGFR1-amplified MIBC and support dual FGFR1/MET targeting as a promising therapeutic strategy.

Recent advances in structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies, binding analyses, and preclinical evaluations have facilitated scaffold optimization to counter resistance mutations and improve pharmacokinetic properties. Collectively, clinical and experimental evidence underscores quinazoline derivatives as a robust platform for developing next-generation targeted anticancer agents.

Our results further reveal that the MUC1-C-driven STAT1 inflammatory response promotes resistance of patient-derived (i) EGFR mutant NSCLC cells with MET amplification to the combination of osimertinib+MET TKIs, and (ii) EGFR(T790M/C797S) NSCLC cells to the 4th generation EGFR TKI TQB3804. Of clinical significance, we report that NSCLC cells dependent on MUC1-C for TKI resistance are druggable with an antibody-drug conjugate (M1C ADC) in vitro and in a PDX tumor model. These findings demonstrate that MUC1-C (i) is essential for TKI resistance of NSCLC cells by driving an inflammatory memory response and (ii) is a target for M1C ADC treatment of TKI-refractory NSCLCs.

Savolitinib plus osimertinib demonstrated numerically higher clinical activity versus savolitinib plus placebo in all patients and patients with higher MET biomarker cutoffs.

The present study marks the initial discovery of MET exon 14 skipping and EGFR Del19 in a single patient, who achieved partial response through a treatment plan involving Osimertinib and Gumarontinib. These findings provide valuable perspectives on treatment approaches for individuals sharing similar genetic profiles.

Here, we investigated its therapeutic effects alone and in combination with doxorubicin (DOXO), using 3D heterotypic spheroid models, including free-standing, bioprinted static, and perfused systems. In perfused bioprinted models, TAS-115 markedly inhibited tumor cell migration, highlighting its potential to limit metastatic behavior. These findings identify TAS-115 as a promising therapeutic strategy for TNBC, either as a monotherapy or in combination with chemotherapy.
