A CMTM6 Nanobody Overcomes EGFR-TKI Resistance in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer.
Article in Advanced science (Weinheim, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Aberrant EGFR signaling drives non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) development, and despite the success of tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapies in treating NSCLC, TKI resistance remains a major obstacle. Here, we report that the chemokine-like transmembrane protein CMTM6 is physically associated with EGFR. CMTM6 is shown to be co-localized with EGFR in recycling endosomes that are marked by RAB11, thereby preventing EGFR from lysosome-mediated degradation in NSCLC cells. The level of CMTM6 is elevated in NSCLC, and high expression of CMTM6 is associated with enhanced colocalization of CMTM6 with EGFR and RAB11 in NSCLC tumors and correlated with a poor prognosis in NSCLC patients. A CMTM6-targeting nanobody is developed and administration of this agent leads to blocking of the CMTM6-EGFR interaction, reduction of the EGFR protein level, and inhibition of the proliferation of TKI-resistant NSCLC cells in vitro and suppression of the growth of EGFR-TKI-resistant NSCLC in both cell line-derived xenografts and patient-derived xenograft models. The study indicates that CMTM6 is a stabilizer of EGFR in endocytic trafficking and provides evidence to support targeting CMTM6 as a potential therapeutic strategy to overcome TKI resistance in NSCLC treatment.
