Rearrangements of NRG1 have been identified in invasive mucinous adenocarcinoma of the lung (IMA), formerly referred to as mucinous bronchioloalveolar carcinoma. NRG1 ligand signals through induction of HER2-HER3 heterodimers, thus leading to PI3K-AKT pathway activation. Therefore, targeting HER2, HER3 and the downstream pathway may be a hypothesis-driven strategy for IMA with NRG1 fusion. Herein we reported two patients who benefited from lumretuzumab, a monoclonal anti-HER3 antibody, in combination of erlotinib during a clinical trial (NCT01482377). At least sixteen weeks of progression-free survival were achieved without any unacceptable toxicity.
