Abstract


Purpose: Given that osimertinib is the only approved third-generation EGFR-TKI against EGFR activating and resistant T790M mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), additional mutant-selective inhibitors with a higher efficacy, especially for brain metastases, with favorable toxicity profile are still needed. In this study, we investigated the antitumor efficacy of YH25448, an oral, mutant-selective, irreversible third-generation EGFR-TKI in preclinical models.

Experimental design: Antitumor activity of YH25448 was investigated in vitro using mutant EGFR-expressing Ba/F3 cells and various lung cancer cell lines. In vivo antitumor efficacy, ability to penetrate the blood-brain barrier (BBB), and skin toxicity of YH25448 were examined and compared with those of osimertinib using cell lines and PDX model.

Results: Compared with osimertinib, YH25448 showed a higher selectivity and potency in kinase assay and mutant EGFR-expressing Ba/F3 cells. In various cell line models harboring EGFR activating and T790M mutation, YH25448 effectively inhibited EGFR downstream signaling pathways, leading to cellular apoptosis. When compared in vivo at equimolar concentrations, YH25448 produced significantly better tumor regression than osimertinib. Importantly, YH25448 induced profound tumor regression in brain metastasis model with excellent brain/plasma and tumor/brain area under the concentration-time curve value. YH25448 rarely suppressed the levels of p-EGFR in hair follicles, leading to less keratosis than osimertinib in animal model. The potent systemic and intracranial activity of YH25448 has been shown in an ongoing phase I/II clinical trial for advanced EGFR T790M mutated NSCLC (NCT03046992).

Conclusions: Our findings suggest that YH25448 is a promising third-generation EGFR inhibitor, which may be more effective and better tolerated than the currently approved osimertinib.
