Abstract
Zanidatamab is a bispecific human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-targeted antibody that has demonstrated antitumor activity in a broad range of HER2-amplified/expressing solid tumors. We determined the antitumor activity of zanidatamab in patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models developed from pretreatment or postprogression biopsies on the first-in-human zanidatamab phase I study (NCT02892123). Of 36 tumors implanted, 19 PDX models were established (52.7% take rate) from 17 patients. Established PDXs represented a broad range of HER2-expressing cancers, and in vivo testing demonstrated an association between antitumor activity in PDXs and matched patients in 7 of 8 co-clinical models tested. We also identified amplification of MET as a potential mechanism of acquired resistance to zanidatamab and demonstrated that MET inhibitors have single-agent activity and can enhance zanidatamab activity in vitro and in vivo. These findings provide evidence that PDXs can be developed from pretreatment biopsies in clinical trials and may provide insight into mechanisms of resistance.
Significance: We demonstrate that PDXs can be developed from pretreatment and postprogression biopsies in clinical trials and may represent a powerful preclinical tool. We identified amplification of MET as a potential mechanism of acquired resistance to the HER2 inhibitor zanidatamab and MET inhibitors alone and in combination as a therapeutic strategy.
