Unfortunately, first-, second-, and third-generation EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are generally ineffective for ex20ins patients due to insufficient mutant activity and selectivity over wild-type EGFR, leading to dose-limiting toxicities. While significant advances in recent years have been made toward identifying potent EGFR ex20ins mutant inhibitors, mutant vs wild-type EGFR selectivity remains a significant challenge. STX-721 (53) is a potent, irreversible inhibitor of the majority of EGFR/HER2 ex20ins mutants and demonstrates excellent mutant vs wild-type selectivity both in vitro and in vivo. STX-721 is currently in phase 1/2 clinical trials for EGFR/HER2 ex20ins-driven NSCLC. %F PUB:(DE-HGF)16 %9 Journal Article %$ pmid:39824516 %R 10.1021/acs.jmedchem.4c02377 %U https://bib-pubdb1.desy.de/record/638682
