Osimertinib Resistance Analysis in Patients With EGFR Mutation Positive Non-small-cell Lung Carcinoma That Have Progressed on Osimertinib Treatment'
Initially, patients with EGFR mutation positive NSCLC respond well to osimertinib, a third generation EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), but eventually progress. Upon progression multiple resistance mechanisms have been described and new therapeutic strategies are being developed to target these resistance mechanisms. Thorough and complete osimertinib resistance analysis enables optimal treatment decision making and might identify new targets for molecular treatment, thereby potentially improving patient outcome.
• Histologically confirmed metastatic NSCLC, characterized by a sensitizing EGFR mutation.
• 2\. Progressive disease, as assessed by the treating physician during osimertinib monotherapy.
• 3\. Eligible for subsequent treatment. 4. Willing to undergo a histological biopsy and withdrawal of a blood sample for ctDNA analysis.
• 5\. Technically possible to take a histological biopsy.
