Beyond EGFR inhibition in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma: Overcoming resistance mechanisms and novel therapeutic frontiers

Review

作者: Carosi, Francesca ; Romaniello, Donatella ; Le Tourneau, Christophe ; Filippini, Daria Maria ; Fermi, Matteo ; Mercante, Giuseppe ; Monte, Andrea ; Tarsitano, Achille ; Querzoli, Giulia ; Carlini, Andrea ; Lauriola, Mattia ; Fabbri, Laura ; Sgarzi, Michela

Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) remains a significant global health challenge. The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is overexpressed in the majority of HNSCCs and represents a well-established therapeutic target. Cetuximab, a chimeric IgG1 monoclonal antibody anti-EGFR, is the only EGFR-targeted agent approved for HNSCC and has shown efficacy in both locally advanced (in platinum-unfit patients) and recurrent/metastatic (R/M) settings. However, clinical benefit is limited by intrinsic and acquired resistance mechanisms, including EGFR mutations, compensatory activation of alternative receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs), downstream pathway alterations (e.g., PIK3CA mutations, PTEN loss), epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), and immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment factors. Emerging strategies aim to overcome resistance through dual EGFR inhibition, combination with new generation targeted agents, and immunomodulation. Irreversible pan-HER tyrosine kinase inhibitors (e.g., afatinib, dacomitinib), dual-target bispecific antibodies such as duligotuzumab (EGFR/HER3), petosemtamab (EGFR/LGR5) or ficerafusp alfa (EGFR/TGF-β) have led to promising preclinical and early-phase clinical activity. Additionally, intratumoral EGFR antisense DNA (EGFR-AS) has shown synergy with cetuximab and radiotherapy in preclinical models and a phase I trial. This narrative review provides a comprehensive overview of the EGFR signaling network in HNSCC, the mechanisms underpinning resistance to EGFR-targeted therapies, and the evolving therapeutic landscape. While EGFR remains a valid therapeutic target, future efforts must focus on biomarker-driven patient selection and combination strategies to enhance efficacy and durability of response. Ongoing trials will further define the role of emerging anti-EGFR agents and their integration into HNSCC treatment algorithms.

Bridging EGFR/TGF-β Signaling to Bypass Resistance to Immune Checkpoint Blockade

Article

作者: Issaeva, Natalia ; Kothari, Aditi ; Bestvina, Christine M. ; Choudhury, Noura J.

Summary:

Although EGFR is a common target in squamous cancers, anti-EGFR monotherapies have shown modest success because of existing or acquired activation of other oncogenic pathways and tumor heterogeneity. A bifunctional fusion protein ficerafusp alfa in combination with pembrolizumab represents a potential solution to overcome resistance in early-phase clinical investigation.See related article by Hernando-Calvo et al., p. 4623

Abstract:

Purpose::

To evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and efficacy of ficerafusp alfa (BCA101), a first-in-class bifunctional protein targeting EGFR and TGF-β, as monotherapy and in combination with pembrolizumab in patients with advanced solid tumors.

Patients and Methods::

At escalating doses in a parallel 3 + 3 design, patients with EGFR-driven advanced solid tumors received weekly intravenous ficerafusp alfa as monotherapy (64–1,500 mg) or in combination (240–1,500 mg) with pembrolizumab (200 mg i.v. every 3 weeks). The primary objective was to determine safety/tolerability. Secondary objectives included assessment of pharmacokinetics, immunogenicity, and preliminary efficacy per investigator-assessed response. Exploratory analyses included pharmacodynamic biomarkers.

Results::

Among 61 patients (monotherapy, n = 46; combination, n = 15), the most common treatment-related adverse events included acneiform dermatitis (46%) and fatigue (20%) with monotherapy and acneiform dermatitis (73%), fatigue (53%), pruritus (40%), epistaxis (40%), and maculopapular rash (40%) with combination therapy. One patient had a dose-limiting toxicity with 1,250-mg monotherapy (grade 3 anemia and hematuria). The MTD was not reached in either cohort. With monotherapy, objective response was observed in one of 42 evaluable patients and 16 (38%) achieved stable disease. With combination therapy, four of 13 evaluable patients (31%) had a confirmed response, including one with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma refractory to anti–PD-1 therapy and cetuximab. Prolonged neutralization of plasma TGF-β1 was observed at doses ≥500 mg.

Conclusions::

Ficerafusp alfa exhibited a manageable safety profile and clinical activity as monotherapy and in combination with pembrolizumab, with exposure increasing proportionally at anticipated therapeutic doses.See related commentary by Choudhury et al., p. 4617

Request your sample report today and start making informed decisions powered by Credence Research Inc. - Rising Prevalence of Head and Neck Cancers Higher prevalence and diagnosis rates of head and neck cancers underpin demand for therapeutics. Tobacco use, alcohol consumption, and HPV infection remain key risk factors in many markets. Some public health agencies report that HPV accounts for a substantial share of throat and mouth cancers, reshaping incidence patterns by subsite and region. These factors expand the treated population and support demand across first-line, recurrent, and metastatic care settings. Population aging further increases risk in many countries, adding to the addressable patient base. However, treatment uptake still depends on stage at diagnosis, timely referral to specialist centers, and patient ability to access and afford care. Advancements in Targeted and Immunotherapy Treatments Targeted therapies and immunotherapies have broadened the available treatment toolkit, particularly in recurrent or metastatic disease and biomarker-defined subgroups. EGFR-directed approaches and monoclonal antibodies are used in certain regimens. Checkpoint inhibitors, including pembrolizumab, have shown survival benefits in selected populations. These modalities can offer different efficacy and safety profiles versus conventional chemotherapy. Clinical benefit, though, varies by tumor type, line of therapy, biomarker status, and patient health. Ongoing clinical trials and label expansions continue to adjust where and how these agents are positioned within treatment pathways. Growing Adoption of Immunotherapy Immunotherapy is becoming a key component of the head and neck cancer treatment landscape. Immune checkpoint inhibitors and other immune-based approaches are gaining traction due to their ability to boost anti-tumor immune responses and extend survival in certain settings. For instance, GeoVax's Phase 2 trial of gene therapy Gedeptin combined with pembrolizumab (Keytruda) in recurrent head and neck cancer aims for pathologic complete responses in 36 patients, reflecting growing interest in immune-based strategies. Regulatory approvals and expanding clinical experience have supported the inclusion of immunotherapy in more treatment protocols. This trend reflects a broader shift in oncology toward immune-modulating approaches, although cost and eligibility criteria still constrain uptake. Market Challenges High Treatment Costs The high cost of advanced treatment options remains a major restraint. Immunotherapies, targeted therapies, and precision diagnostics often carry substantial price tags, which can limit access for many patients, especially in low- and middle-income regions. Expenses from prolonged therapies, companion diagnostics, and supportive care add further burden to patients and health systems. This financial pressure can constrain adoption, even where clinical benefit is demonstrated. Limited Access to Advanced Healthcare Infrastructure Access to specialized oncology services remains uneven. Many patients in developing and underdeveloped regions cannot reach centers that provide advanced therapies or complex diagnostics. Rural areas face gaps in diagnostic capacity, specialist availability, and timely referrals. This imbalance contributes to late-stage diagnosis and reduces the effectiveness of available interventions. The disparity in infrastructure and trained personnel remains a significant barrier to broader adoption of advanced therapeutics. Market Opportunities The increasing adoption of precision medicine presents a key opportunity. Advances in genomic profiling and biomarker identification support development of targeted therapies and more personalized regimens. Tailored treatment strategies can improve clinical outcomes and reduce unnecessary exposure to less effective options. Growing use of immunotherapy and combination regimens offers further opportunity. Integrating checkpoint inhibitors and other immune-based therapies with established treatments can improve survival and address resistance patterns. Firms that focus on novel combinations and biomarker-guided approaches can capture new growth segments. Improving healthcare infrastructure and access in emerging markets also expands opportunity. Investments in oncology centers, diagnostics, and reimbursement schemes can unlock new demand. Strategic collaborations, local trials, and adaptive pricing models can help companies build presence in these regions. Market Segmentation By Therapy Type Chemotherapy Immunotherapy Targeted Therapy By Route of Administration Injectable Oral By Distribution Channel Hospital Pharmacies Retail and Specialty Pharmacies Online Pharmacies By Region North America: United States, Canada Europe: United Kingdom, Germany, France, and others Asia-Pacific: China, India, Japan Latin America: Brazil, Mexico Middle East and Africa: South Africa, United Arab Emirates, and others Browse Complete Report Originally Published by Credence Research - Regional Analysis North America North America is described as accounting for around 40% of global revenue. The region benefits from established oncology infrastructure, high adoption of advanced therapies, and strong clinical research activity. Some sources cite more than 65,000 new head and neck cancer cases per year, supporting consistent treatment demand. Uptake of checkpoint inhibitors such as pembrolizumab and nivolumab has influenced treatment patterns in eligible patients. Reimbursement policies play a central role in shaping access and choice of therapy. Europe Europe is described as contributing around 30% of global share. Public health coverage, oncology research funding, and awareness campaigns support early detection and treatment access. Annual incidence is cited at more than 150,000 cases, with rising HPV-linked disease reported in some subtypes. EU-level initiatives and national programs support personalized medicine and development of novel therapies. Vaccination and prevention may affect long-term incidence, but near-term demand is driven by existing diagnosed populations.
