Utilization of esophagogastric PDXs for investigation of genomically driven therapeutic strategies. (A) A PDX was generated from a patient with HER2-positive gastric cancer after progression on first-line trastuzumab and second-line afatinib. Next-generation sequencing revealed a mutation in MTOR (VUS) in clinical sequencing that was retained in the PDX. (B) Efficacy of afatinib and MTOR inhibitors in an ERBB2-amplified/MTOR-altered PDX. (C) A PDX was generated from a patient with a VUS in ERBB3 after progression on afatinib. (D) Efficacy of afatinib or a dual EGFR/HER3 inhibitor (duligotuzumab) as monotherapy or in combination. *P < .05, **P < .01, ***P < .001; Student's t-test. 5-FU, fluorouracil; Carbo, carboplatin; Cis, cisplatin; DTX, docetaxel; FOLFOX, infusional fluorouracil, leucovorin, and oxaliplatin; HER2, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2; Irino, irinotecan; PDX, patient-derived xenograft; Tras, trastuzumab.
