Description
While EGFR mutation is a strong predictive factor for EGFR inhibition, some patients with EGFR wild-type also respond. The authors investigated whether phosphorylated EGFR could be a potential predictive biomarker in patients with wild-type EGFR. Phosphorylation of Y1068 (assessed by IHC) was associated with improved progression free survival (PFS) in 205 patients with stage IIb and IV NSCLC treated with EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (gefitinib or erlotinib) compared to phospho-Y1068 negative patients (median PFS 7.0 months vs. 1.2 months, P < 0.001). In this group, 92 (44.9%) were EGFR mutant. In a subgroup of patients with wild-type EGFR, phospho-Y1068 expression positive patients had a significantly prolonged PFS (4.2 months vs.1.2 months P < 0.001) compared with those without phospho-Y1068 expression.
