BAY-568 / Bayer - LARVOL DELTA

Biochemical analysis of EGFR exon20 insertion variants insASV and insSVD and their inhibitor sensitivity. (PubMed, Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A) - "Biochemical, structural, and cellular studies of a diverse panel of EGFR inhibitors revealed that the more recently developed compounds BAY-568, TAS6417, and TAK-788 inhibit EGFR insASV and insSVD in a mutant-selective manner, with BAY-568 being the most potent and selective versus wild-type (WT) EGFR. Cocrystal structures with WT EGFR reveal the binding modes of each of these inhibitors and of poziotinib, a potent but not mutantselective inhibitor, and together they define interactions shared by the mutant-selective agents. Collectively, our results show that these exon20 insertion variants are not inherently inhibitor resistant, rather they differ in their drug sensitivity from WT EGFR. However, they are similar to each other, indicating that a single inhibitor should be effective for several of the diverse exon 20 insertion variants."

[VIRTUAL] Preclinical activity of the first reversible, potent and selective inhibitor of EGFR exon 20 insertions (AACR 2021) - "BAY-568 furthermore has even greater activity towards the “classical” erlotinib-sensitive mutations, L858R and exon 19 deletions. Consistent with this, the presence of a C797S mutation, typically found in patients with acquired resistance to osimertinib, has no effect on the activity of BAY-568. Taken together, these results demonstrate the ability of BAY-568 to kill cancer cells harboring exon 20 insertions and other EGFR mutations with decreased activity on wild-type EGFR, irrespective of C797S mutation status."
