Genomic aberrations involving erb-b2 receptor tyrosine kinase 2 (ERBB2) are driver oncogenes in ∼2% of lung adenocarcinomas. However, the use of daily dosing of ERBB2 tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) - including afatinib - has been fraught by plasma concentrations that barely achieve preclinical model inhibition, significant patient-reported toxicities and limited clinical activity. We hypothesized that alternative dosing strategies could improve tolerability and efficacy. We profiled lung cancer cell lines against TKIs and retrospectively evaluated the toxicity/response to pulse afatinib (280mg once weekly) in lung cancers with ERBB2 mutations. An ERBB2 exon 20 insertion mutated lung cancer cell line had 50% inhibitory concentration to afatinib higher than the reported plasma concentration of afatinib 40mg daily. Three patients with advanced ERBB2 mutated lung adenocarcinomas were treated with off-label pulse afatinib. The 280mg weekly dose was well tolerated with no reported rash and minimal diarrhea. One TKI-naïve patient achieved a partial response for 5 months and another stable disease for 11 months. Pulse afatinib at a weekly dosing scheme induced anti-tumor activity in ERBB2 exon 20 insertion mutated lung adenocarcinomas. Future clinical trials of alternative dosing schemes of ERBB TKIs as monotherapy or in combination with other therapies are warranted for ERBB2 mutated tumors.
