The nuance here is how the MET amplification was detected and defined. Was it through an NGS platform (such as Guardant) or through FISH-based testing? If the latter, what was the MET gene copy number, and what was the ratio of MET/CEP7?
Nonetheless, assuming MET amplification is an accurate bypass s...

I think it is challenging to give a single answer here as there is a lot of heterogeneity here.
When MET amplification is driving EGFR TKI resistance, that can be overcome by the addition of a MET inhibitor. The INSIGHT 2 study (Tan et al., Journal of Clinical Oncology 2023) included patients with E...
