Examining treatment-naive or tepotinib-resistant cells with MET amplification or METex14 skipping mutations identifies other receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) that co-exist in cells prior to tepotinib exposure and become more prominent upon tepotinib resistance. In a small cohort of patients with lung cancer with MET genetic alterations treated with tepotinib, gene copy number gains of other RTKs were found at baseline and affected treatment outcome. An Src homology 2 domain-containing phosphatase 2 (SHP2) inhibitor delayed the emergence of tepotinib resistance and synergized with tepotinib in treatment-naive and tepotinib-resistant cells as well as in xenograft models. Alternative signaling pathways potentially diminish the effect of tepotinib monotherapy, and the combination of tepotinib with an SHP2 inhibitor enables the control of tumor growth in cells with MET genetic alterations.23:T440,This study evaluates the efficacy of combining targeted therapies with MET or SHP2 inhibitors to overcome MET-mediated resistance in different NSCLC subtypes. A prevalence study was conducted for MET amplification and overexpression in samples from patients with NSCLC who relapsed on ALK, ROS1, or RET tyrosine kinase inhibitors. MET-mediated resistance was detected in 37.5% of tissue biopsies, which allow the detection of MET overexpression, compared to 7.4% of liquid biopsies. The development of drug resistance by MET overexpression was confirmed in EGFR^ex19del-, KRAS^G12C-, HER2^ex20ins-, and TPM3-NTRK1-mutant cell lines. The combination of targeted therapy with MET or SHP2 inhibitors was found to overcome MET-mediated resistance in both in vitro and in vivo assays. This study highlights the importance of considering MET overexpression as a resistance driver to NSCLC targeted therapies to better identify patients who could potentially benefit from combination approaches with MET or SHP2 inhibitors.
