The EGFR C797S Mutation Confers Resistance to a Novel EGFR Inhibitor CLN-081 to EGFR Exon 20 Insertion Mutations

EGFR exon 20 insertion mutations account for 5% to 10% of EGFR-mutated NSCLC. CLN-081 (formerly known as TAS6417), a novel covalent EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor, exhibits pan-mutation selective efficacy, including exon 20 insertions, in the clinical setting. Nevertheless, some patients may not respond to CLN-081 and resistance to CLN-081 may emerge over time in others.
