  • Beschreibung: <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>The emergence of acquired resistance against targeted drugs remains a major clinical challenge in lung adenocarcinoma patients. In a subgroup of these patients we identified an association between selection of <jats:italic>EGFR</jats:italic><jats:sup>T790M</jats:sup>-negative but <jats:italic>EGFR</jats:italic><jats:sup>G724S</jats:sup>-positive subclones and osimertinib resistance. We demonstrate that <jats:italic>EGFR</jats:italic><jats:sup>G724S</jats:sup> limits the activity of third-generation EGFR inhibitors both in vitro and in vivo. Structural analyses and computational modeling indicate that <jats:italic>EGFR</jats:italic><jats:sup>G724S</jats:sup> mutations may induce a conformation of the glycine-rich loop, which is incompatible with the binding of third-generation TKIs. Systematic inhibitor screening and in-depth kinetic profiling validate these findings and show that second-generation EGFR inhibitors retain kinase affinity and overcome <jats:italic>EGFR</jats:italic><jats:sup>G724S</jats:sup>-mediated resistance. In the case of afatinib this profile translates into a robust reduction of colony formation and tumor growth of <jats:italic>EGFR</jats:italic><jats:sup>G724S</jats:sup>-driven cells. Our data provide a mechanistic basis for the osimertinib-induced selection of <jats:italic>EGFR</jats:italic><jats:sup>G724S</jats:sup>-mutant clones and a rationale to treat these patients with clinically approved second-generation EGFR inhibitors.</jats:p>
