Fusion of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs), such as <em>RET</em>, <em>ALK</em>, and <em>FGFR3</em>, has been reported to mediate <em>EGFR</em> TKI resistance. Given the rarity of these fusions and the heterogeneous nature of the condition, no prospective clinical trials evaluated the incidence, safety, and therapeutic benefit of dual <em>EGFR-RTK</em> inhibition.</div></div><div><h3>Methods</h3><div>We queried clinical databases from multiple institutions to identify patients who had <em>RTK</em> fusions detected on next-generation sequencing testing results from tissue or blood at five institutions: the Second Affiliated Hospital Zhejiang University School of Medicine, Hunan Cancer Hospital, Prince of Wales Hospital Chinese University of Hong Kong, Chao Family Cancer Center, and the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center from March 1, 2016, to September 30, 2023. The data analyzed included objective response rate (ORR) to treatment post RTK fusion detection, duration of treatment, and safety. A comprehensive literature search was conducted to identify patients with <em>RTK</em> fusion as the primary resistance mechanism in <em>EGFR-</em>mutated NSCLC patients.</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div>Twenty-seven patients were identified to be eligible in the analysis. <em>ALK</em> fusions were most reported (42.9%), followed by <em>RET</em> fusions (35.7%). Fifteen patients received dual TKI after fusion detection and nine received fusion targeting single TKIs. The median time on treatment was 169 days or 5.8 months (35–1050 d). ORR by the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors in the evaluable 25 patients was 24% and the disease control rate was 80%. In 14 evaluable patients who received dual TKI therapy, ORR by the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors was 21.4%, and the disease control rate was 78.6%. No new toxicities were observed with dual <em>EGFR-RTK</em> inhibition. In the literature review, after pooling 291 patients from 59 studies, <em>RET</em> fusions were the most common (50.0%), followed by <em>BRAF</em> (13.3%), <em>ALK</em> (13.3%), <em>FGFR</em> (10%), <em>NTRK</em> (5.3%), <em>EGFR</em> (1.7%), <em>ROS1</em> (1.3%), <em>MET</em> (1%), and <em>ERBB</em> (0.7%).</div></div><div><h3>Conclusion</h3><div>The emergence of <em>RTK</em> fusions is one of the mechanisms of bypass resistance of <em>EGFR</em> TKI.
