Abstract

A recent study identified high rates of PI3K-AKT pathway mutations from the FLAURA and AURA3 osimertinib trials and pre-clinically validated that these mutations decreased osimertinib sensitivity in EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer. The AKT inhibitor capivasertib was found to overcome this resistance, providing an important rationale for the development of AKT inhibitors in non-small cell lung cancer.
