Targeted therapies have revolutionized the treatment for many patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Multiple new oral targeted therapies have been approved in the past; however, their overall efficacy may be reduced by poor adherence, treatment interruptions, or dose reductions due to adverse events. Most institutions lack standard monitoring protocols for toxicities from these targeted agents. Here describes important adverse events observed in clinical trials and reported by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for both currently approved and upcoming promising therapies in the treatment of NSCLC. These agents cause a range of toxicities, including dermatologic, gastroenteric, pulmonary, and cardiac toxicities.

non-small cell lung cancer molecular targeted therapies adverse drug events

1. Introduction

Lung cancer remains the number one cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for most lung cancer diagnoses (84%), and the identification of targetable driver mutations has changed treatment options dramatically over the last decade ^[1]. More than half of patients diagnosed with NSCLC have an actionable mutation ^[2]. The identification of driver mutations has resulted in the U.S. Food and Administration’s (FDA) approval of multiple oral and intravenous therapies. The development of oral targeted therapies provides a clear advantage in terms of convenience to the patient but can also result in toxicity and non-adherence ^[3]. In recent years, the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) and the Oncology Nursing Society (ONS) jointly published and recently updated guidelines on oral chemotherapy safety standards ^[4]. Patients receiving these oral anti-cancer therapies appear to have less contact with the treating providers than those receiving intravenous treatments ^[5]. Given patients receiving targeted agents may have less direct contact with healthcare teams, it is crucial to closely monitor side effects, adherence, and safety. Regular monitoring of oral drugs for cancer is a critical component of comprehensive patient care. It enables healthcare providers to detect and manage potential side effects early, which can help prevent complications, reduce the need for hospitalization, and improve patients’ quality of life. By adjusting treatment as needed, healthcare providers can optimize outcomes and enhance the overall effectiveness of treatment.

There are currently no established guidelines for monitoring toxicities associated with targeted therapy in NSCLC. A survey among cancer centers showed there were limited protocols for monitoring and managing risks associated with targeted therapy ^[6]. The importance of monitoring has been well established, but there is limited literature that provides monitoring recommendations.

2. EGFR Mutation (Exon 19 Deletion or L858R)

2.1. First Generation

Erlotinib

Originally broadly approved for the treatment of NSCLC in 2004, erlotinib’s indications were later narrowed to first-line, maintenance, or subsequent therapy in patients with EGFR exon 19 deletions or L858R substitutions as a result of the EURTAC and IUNO studies in 2016. The most common toxicities observed in multiple studies included: rash (70–85%), diarrhea (48–62%), and cough (48%). The most common grade 3–4 adverse events included: rash (14%) and dyspnea (8%). Other notable adverse events included: ocular toxicity (12–18%), ILD (1.1%), renal impairment (0.4%), hepatic failure (0.4%), and hemorrhage associated with elevated international normalized ratio (INR) in the setting of concomitant warfarin use ^[7]^[8]^[9].

Erlotinib + Ramucirumab

The results of the RELAY study led to the 2020 FDA approval of ramucirumab in combination with erlotinib for the first-line treatment of metastatic NSCLC for patients with EGFR exon 19 deletions or exon 21 L858R mutations. Similar toxicities to erlotinib monotherapy were observed. Adverse events that were described more frequently with the addition of ramucirumab included: hypertension (42%), proteinuria (35%), epistaxis (16%), peripheral edema (13%), and hepatotoxicity (42–43%). Hypertension and diarrhea were the most common grade 3–4 adverse events noted with the addition of ramucirumab (24% and 7%, respectively) ^[10]^[11].

Gefitinib

Gefitinib was initially approved in the European market in 2009, where it has seen the majority of its use. It has since been approved by the FDA in 2015 for the first-line treatment of metastatic NSCLC with EGFR 19 deletions or exon 21 L858R mutations. The common adverse events of any grade observed in trials included: rash (44.9–66.2%), diarrhea (30.8–44.6%), and nausea (10.3–16.6%) ^[12]^[13]. Other notable adverse events of any grade included: proteinuria (35%), ALT (38%), and AST (40%). ILD occurred in 1.3% and ocular disorders occurred in roughly 6.7% of patients. Grade 3–4 adverse events are uncommon with diarrhea (3%) and decreased appetite (2.3%) being reported most frequently ^[14].

2.2. Second Generation

Afatinib

Afatinib is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) that was first approved in July 2013 as first-line therapy for patients with metastatic NSCLC with EGFR exon 19 deletions or L858R substitutions. In a grouped analysis of the LUX-LUNG 3 and LUX-LUNG 6 trials, dermatologic toxicities, diarrhea, and nail changes were the most common adverse events overall (90%, 96%, and 58%, respectively), as well as the most common grade 3–4 adverse events (15–16%, 15%, and 13–14%, respectively) ^[15]. Other notable toxicities across all trials included: interstitial lung disease (ILD) in 1.6% of patients, keratitis in 0.7% of patients, and hepatic toxicity in 9.7% of patients ^[16]. Some online reference guides recommend left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) monitoring, though a review of cardiac safety across clinical trials did not show an association with heart failure or a decrease in LVEF ^[17].

Dacomitinib

Dacomitinib gained FDA approval for first-line therapy in metastatic NSCLC with EGFR exon 19 deletion or exon 21 L858R substitution in September 2018 based on the results of the ARCHER 1050 trial. The most frequently observed adverse events of any grade were: diarrhea (87%), paronychia (62%), acne (49%), and stomatitis (44%), with acne and diarrhea as the most common grade 3–4 toxicities (14% and 8%, respectively). ILD occurred in 1.3% of patients ^[18].

2.3. Third Generation

Osimertinib

Osimertinib was first approved for the use of T790M mutated NSCLC previously treated with first-generation TKIs after clinical trials demonstrated improved progression-free survival (PFS) (10.1 months vs. 4.4 months) and objective response rate (ORR) (71% vs. 31%) compared to platinum therapy plus pemetrexed ^[19]^[20]. The subsequent FLAURA and ADURA trials, respectively, led to the FDA approval of osimertinib in the first-line treatment of metastatic NSCLC and as adjuvant therapy for patients with Stage IB–IIIA EGFR exon 19 deletions or exon 21 L858R mutations. Gastrointestinal and dermatologic toxicities were common in both studies (46–58% and 34–58%, respectively). ILD was observed in 3–4% of patients ^[21]^[22]. The FLAURA trial observed QTc changes in 10% of patients receiving osimertinib ^[21]. A post hoc analysis of the FLAURA and AURA3 trials observed a decrease in LVEF of ≥10 percentage points to an absolute value of <50% in 3.9% of patients ^[23]. The data did not demonstrate a significant causal relationship, though several recent case reports have observed reversible osimertinib-induced cardiomyopathy ^[24]^[25]^[26]. The most frequent grade 3–4 toxicities included: neutropenia (3.4%), lymphopenia (3.3%), and hyponatremia (3.4%).

3. EGFR Exon 20

3.1. Amivantamab

Amivantamab-vmjw is an EGFR/MET bispecific antibody that was the first FDA-approved treatment for EGFR exon 20 insertion mutated NSCLC. This was a result of the phase I CHRYSALIS study in which the most frequent adverse events of any grade included: rash (86%), infusion-related reaction (66%), paronychia (45%), and hypoalbuminemia (27%). The most commonly reported grade 3–4 adverse events were: hypokalemia (5%), pulmonary embolism (4%), diarrhea (4%), and neutropenia (4%) ^[27].

3.2. Mobocertinib

Mobocertinib is an irreversible oral TKI that was granted accelerated approval for use in previously treated metastatic NSCLC with EGFR exon 20 insertion mutations in 2021. Common clinical adverse events of any grade reported in trials included: diarrhea (82–93%), nausea (30–39%), and rash (33–45%). Other notable toxicities include changes in ALT, AST, or electrolytes in more than 20% of patients. Grade 3–4 adverse events included: lymphopenia (15%) and elevated amylase or lipase (10%) ^[28]^[29]. Mobocertinib also carries a boxed warning for QTc prolongation, torsades de pointes, and cardiac toxicity ^[30].

4. KRAS G12C

4.1. Adagrasib

Adagrasib is an irreversible inhibitor of KRAS that has been granted accelerated approval by the FDA in previously treated KRAS G12C mutated NSCLC. In the KRYSTAL-1 study, adverse events of any grade included diarrhea (70.7%), vomiting (56.9%), serum creatinine increase (34.5%), ALT increase (28.4%), AST increase (26.7%), and hyponatremia (23.3%). Grade 3–4 adverse events included anemia (14.7%), dyspnea (10.3%), pneumonia (12.1%), and QTc prolongation (6.0%) ^[31].

4.2. Sotorasib

Sotorasib, an inhibitor of the RAS GTPase family, was the first FDA-approved therapy for KRAS G12C mutated NSCLC ^[32]. In CodeBreaK100, a phase II study of sotorasib in previously treated locally advanced or metastatic KRAS G12C mutated disease, the most common treatment-related adverse events were diarrhea (31.7%), nausea (19%), and increase in AST/ALT (15%). Edema of all grades occurred in 13% of patients, and 29% of patients experienced increased urine protein. Hepatotoxicity was the most common grade 3–4 adverse event, occurring in up to 5–6% of patients, and approximately 2.4% of patients experienced grade 3–4 pulmonary toxicities ^[33].

5. ALK Rearrangement

5.1. First Generation

Crizotinib

Crizotinib was the first drug in its class approved for the treatment of patients with metastatic NSCLC with ALK gene rearrangements. Initially approved for ALK gene mutations, crizotinib’s FDA indication has expanded to ROS1 and MET exon 14 skipping mutations. The initial approval for crizotinib was based on a PROFILE 1014 study in which the most common adverse events of any grade included: vision disorders (71%), diarrhea (61%), edema (49%), and vomiting (46%). Notable grade 3–4 toxicities included: hepatotoxicity (14%), neutropenia (11%), fatigue (3%), and dyspnea (3%) ^[34]^[35]^[36].

5.2. Second Generation

Alectinib

Alectinib is a potent, highly selective second-generation ALK inhibitor that was FDA-approved on 6 November 2017 for the treatment of metastatic NSCLC in patients with an ALK mutation. This approval was given based on the results of the ALEX trial, in which the most common adverse events of any grade included: anemia (20%), peripheral edema (17%), and myalgia (16) ^[37]. Notable grade 3–4 toxicities included: increased AST (6%), ALT (6%), creatine phosphokinase (CPK) (2.8%), and anemia (1.4%) ^[38].

Brigatinib

Brigatinib is a selective oral TKI that was FDA-approved on 22 May 2020, based on the results of the ALTA-1L trial, in which the most common side effects of any grade included diarrhea (58%), cough (36%), nausea (33%), and hypertension (32%). Notable grade 3–4 toxicities included: elevated CPK (2.8%), lipase (3.7%), amylase (5.5%), ALT (4%), AST (4%), and anemia (3%) ^[39]^[40]. The brigatinib dose gradually increased over 2 weeks due to the risk of pneumonitis (5.1%, median onset of 2 days), and for this reason, patients should be assessed on a regular basis ^[40].

Ceritinib

In 2017, ceritinib was FDA-approved for patients with previously untreated metastatic NSCLC with an ALK rearrangement. This was a change from the original indication of patients whose disease had progressed or who were intolerant to crizotinib. This approval was based on the ASCEND-4 trial in which the most common toxicities included: diarrhea, nausea, abdominal pain, vomiting, and fatigue. Notable grade 3–4 toxicities included: ALT elevation (31%), AST elevation (17%), and diarrhea (5%) ^[41]^[42]. Similarly, the subsequent ASCEND-8 trial reported that a reduced dose of 450 mg in a fed state resulted in less GI toxicity when compared to a previously approved dose of 750 mg in a fasted state (65.9% vs. 80%), but maintained a relatively high level of ALT elevation (27.3%) ^[43].

Ensartinib

Ensartinib is a potent next-generation ALK inhibitor and has demonstrated 10 times greater potency than crizotinib ^[44]^[45]. A phase I/II study demonstrated a considerable increase in PFS with ensartinib compared to crizotinib, as well as a marked improvement in intracranial response ^[44]. The most common all-grade adverse events were: rash (67.8%), hepatotoxicity (37–48%), and pruritus (26.6%). Notable grade 3–4 toxicities included: rash (11.2%), ALT (4.2%), and edema (2.1%) ^[44]^[45].

5.3. Third Generation

Lorlatinib

Lorlatinib is a third-generation ALK inhibitor with a chemical structure different from other ALK TKIs, designed to cover almost all single resistance mutations emerging after first- or second-generation ALK inhibitors ^[46]. Lorlatinib received FDA approval on 3 March 2021 based on the CROWN trial. The common side effects noted included: edema (55%), peripheral neuropathy (34%), cognitive effects (21%), diarrhea (21%), and vision disorders (18%) ^[47]. Notable grade 3–4 toxicities included: hypercholesterolemia (16%), hypertriglyceridemia (20%), weight gain (17%), and hypertension (10%) ^[47]^[48].

6. ROS1 Rearrangement

Crizotinib and Entrectinib

These drugs are currently approved for the treatment of ROS1 rearrangements ^[47]^[49]. Adverse events are described elsewhere.

7. BRAF V600E

Dabrafenib/Trametinib

The combination of dabrafenib (a BRAF inhibitor) and trametinib (a MEK inhibitor) was approved by the FDA in 2017 based on the results of an open-label, phase II trial demonstrating an overall response rate (ORR) of 63%. The most frequently reported adverse events of any grade included: pyrexia (64%), nausea (54%), fatigue (36%), and peripheral edema (36%). Notable grade 3–4 adverse reactions included: pyrexia (11%), ALT increase (11%), hypertension (11%), and a decrease in LVEF (8%) ^[50].

8. NTRK 1/2/3 Gene Fusion

8.1. Entrectinib

Entrectinib was FDA-approved on 15 August 2019, based on the results of three multicenter trials for patients with solid tumors and NTRK mutations ^[51]. An additional benefit of entrectinib is its utility in CNS tumors and CNS metastasis. The most common side effects of any grade in NTRK fusion-positive patients included: dysgeusia (47%), fatigue (35%), diarrhea (29%), and constipation (28%) ^[51]. Notable grade 3–4 events included: weight gain (7%), anemia (9%), fatigue (5%), hyperuricemia (10%), and cognitive disorders (4.5%). Serious side effects that must be monitored included: congestive heart failure (median onset: 2 months), skeletal fractures (median onset: 3.8 months), QTc prolongation, and hyperuricemia ^[52]^[53]. NTRK inhibition causes decreased nociception; as a result, entrectinib also has a unique side effect of withdrawal pain upon discontinuation of therapy that resolves with the resumption of treatment or in a median of 14 days ^[54].

9.2. Larotrectinib

Larotrectinib is a first-in-class highly selective oral TKI that was FDA-approved on 26 November 2018 for adult and pediatric patients with solid tumors with NTRK gene fusions ^[55]. A recent trial of larotrectinib showed an ORR of 75% amongst patients with NSCLC, which is consistent amongst all solid tumor types ^[56]^[57]. The most common toxicities of any grade included: fatigue (37%), nausea (29%), dizziness (28%), cough (26%), increased AST/ALT (45%), constipation (23%), and diarrhea (22%). Notable grade 3–4 toxicities included: neutropenia (2%), anemia (2%), AST, and ALT elevation (3%) ^[56]^[57].

9. MET Exon 14 Skipping

9.1. Capmatinib

The results of the GEOMETRY mono-1 trial led to the FDA approval of capmatinib, a MET inhibitor, for the treatment of metastatic NSCLCs with a MET exon 14 skipping mutation. The most reported treatment-related adverse events of any grade included: peripheral edema (51%), nausea (45%), vomiting (28%), and a rise in serum creatinine (24%). More than 20% of patients experienced an increase in amylase or lipase of any grade, and 4.5% of patients experienced ILD/pneumonitis. Grade 3–4 toxicities included: peripheral edema (9%), fatigue (8%), dyspnea (7%), and increased ALT (8%) ^[58]^[59].

9.2. Crizotinib

While crizotinib is FDA-approved for the treatment of ALK-positive and ROS1-rearranged NSCLC as described above, there is a growing body of evidence that supports its use in MET exon 14 skipping mutations ^[55]^[60]. Adverse events in these studies were similar to those reported in other mutations.

9.3. Tepotinib

Tepotinib is a selective MET inhibitor that gained FDA approval for use in advanced or metastatic NSCLC harboring MET exon 14 skipping mutation due to the results of the VISION trial. The most common treatment-related adverse events of all grades included: peripheral edema (65%), nausea (26%), and diarrhea (22%) ^[61]. Notable grade 3–4 adverse events included: increased amylase (4.6%), ALT (4.1%), pneumonia (3.9%), and musculoskeletal pain (2.4%) ^[62].

10. RET Rearrangement

10.1. Pralsetinib

Pralsetinib was FDA-approved on 4 September 2020 for patients with metastatic NSCLC and RET fusion-positive NSCLC based on the results of the ARROW trial ^[63]. Common toxicities of any grade included: ILD (10%), HTN (29%), hepatotoxicity (AST 69%, ALT 46%), and hemorrhage (2.5%). Grade 3–4 adverse events included: lymphopenia (20%), neutropenia (10%), and hypertension (14%) ^[64].

10.2. Selpercatinib

Selpercatinib is an oral TKI with potent and selective activity against RET. It was FDA-approved on 21 September 2022, based on the results of the LIBRETTO-001 trial ^[65]. Common treatment-related side effects of any grade included dry mouth (36%) and diarrhea (25%). Notable grade 3–4 toxicities included: diarrhea (5%), hypertension (19.7%), increased AST (8.8%), and increased ALT (11.4%) ^[65]^[66].

11. ERBB2 (HER 2) Mutation Positive

Fam-Trastuzumab Deruxtecan

Based on the results of the DESTINY-Lung01 trial, fam-trastuzumab deruxtecan was FDA-approved on 11 August 2022 for patients with metastatic NSCLC with an ERBB2 (HER 2) mutation ^[49]. Common toxicities of any grade included: nausea (73%), fatigue (53%), alopecia (46%), neutropenia (35%), and anemia (33%) ^[67]. Notable grade 3–4 toxicities included: nausea (9%), fatigue (7%), neutropenia (18%), and anemia (10%). ILD is an important severe adverse event, having occurred in 26% of patients in the DESTINY-Lung01 trial ^[49]. Grade 2 or higher pulmonary toxicities require permanent discontinuation. Additionally, trastuzumab-related cardiotoxicity is a rare but serious side effect. It is recommended to check baseline LVEF periodically during treatment and, if EF < 50%, a different treatment option is recommended ^[67]^[68].
