I think EGFR is used as a comparator since inhibiting EGFR WT is a known limiting toxicity. I'm not counting Her2 out yet but there is room for doubt, or discount, for valuing this cohort. However, this is nothing like Ariad's claim for briga in T790M EGFR. '788's pre-clinical shows cellular IC50's for Her2 Ex. 20 at ~6-26nM, which is at least ~10 times more potent than '113's cellular IC50's for EGFR mutants at 112-694nM (Briga inhibits cellular ALK WT at 17nM for comparison) [Ref. ASCO poster 2013]. So there is likely therapeutic window in Her2, but the higher dose and toxicity could make '788 vulnerable to a better Her2 inhibitor in the future.
