Intracranial Activity of Cabozantinib in MET Exon 14–Positive NSCLC with Brain Metastases
A significant portion of NSCLCs with MET proto-oncogene, receptor tyrosine kinase gene (MET) exon 14 skipping alterations are sensitive to small-molecule mesenchymal-epithelial transition tyrosine kinase inhibitors. However, the incidence and management of brain metastases in this molecular subset is unknown and represents an unmet clinical need.Emergence of Preexisting MET Y1230C Mutation as a Resistance Mechanism to Crizotinib in NSCLC with MET Exon 14 Skipping
MET proto-oncogene, receptor tyrosine kinase gene exon 14 skipping (METex14) alterations represent a unique subset of oncogenic drivers in NSCLC. Preliminary clinical activity of crizotinib against METex14-positive NSCLC has been reported. The full spectrum of resistance mechanisms to crizotinib in METex14-positive NSCLC remains to be identified.
