(Kanazawa, 21 March 2019) Researchers at Kanazawa University report in Nature Communications what causes some lung-cancer patients to have an intrinsic resistance to the drug osimertinib: AXL, a protein belonging to the class of receptor tyrosine kinases.  The combined application of osimertinib and an AXL inhibitor is shown to limit intrinsic resistance to the drug. For treating cancer, drugs based on molecules known as tyrosine kinase inhibitors are sometimes used.  One such tyrosine kinase inhibitor, called osimertinib, has been used to treat EGFR-mutated lung cancer with a certain degree of efficacy.  (EGFR refers to “epidermal growth factor receptor”, a protein…
