In patients with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutant lung adenocarcinoma, treatment with erlotinib or gefitinib is associated with a 75% radiographic response rate and progression-free survival of approximately 12 months. The most common mechanism of acquired resistance to erlotinib is development of a secondary mutation in EGFR, suggesting that these tumors continue to depend on EGFR signaling. We hypothesized that combined EGFR blockade would overcome acquired resistance to erlotinib in patients with lung adenocarcinoma. To evaluate the toxicity and efficacy of cetuximab and erlotinib in patients with acquired resistance to erlotinib, we conducted this phase I/II clinical trial.
