Background:
There are about 10-15% of uncommon EGFR mutations found in NSCLC patients, and their sensitivity to EGFR TKIs still lack sufficient clinical evidence, especially for rare compound mutations. Almonertinib is the third generation of EGFR-TKI that has demonstrated excellent efficacy in classical mutations, however, effects in rare mutations have also been rarely reported.
Case Presentation:
In this case report, we present a patient with advanced lung adenocarcinoma with a rare EGFR p.V774M/p.L833V compound mutations, who achieved long-lasting and stable disease control after first-line Almonertinib targeted therapy. This case report could provide more information for therapeutic strategy selecting of NSCLC patients harboring rare EGFR mutations.
Conclusion:
We report for the first time the long-lasting and stable disease control with Almonertinib for EGFR p.V774M/p.L833V compound mutations treatment, hoping to provide more clinical case references for the treatment of rare compound mutations.
Insights
This case report details a patient with rare EGFR mutations in lung cancer who achieved long-lasting disease control with Almonertinib. This highlights Almonertinib as a potential treatment for uncommon EGFR mutations in non-small cell lung cancer.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Genetics
- Pharmacology
Background:
- Uncommon EGFR mutations occur in 10-15% of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients.
- Clinical evidence for EGFR TKI sensitivity in rare compound mutations is limited.
- Almonertinib, a third-generation EGFR TKI, shows efficacy in common mutations, but data on rare mutations are scarce.
Observation:
- A patient with advanced lung adenocarcinoma presented with rare EGFR p.V774M/p.L833V compound mutations.
- The patient received first-line Almonertinib targeted therapy.
Findings:
- The patient achieved long-lasting and stable disease control.
- This represents the first report of Almonertinib efficacy in EGFR p.V774M/p.L833V compound mutations.
Implications:
- This case provides valuable information for selecting therapeutic strategies for NSCLC patients with rare EGFR mutations.
- Offers clinical case references for treating rare compound mutations with Almonertinib.
