Furmonertinib and intrathecal pemetrexed chemotherapy rechallenges osimertinib-refractory leptomeningeal metastasis in a non-small cell lung cancer patient harboring EGFR20 R776S, C797S, and EGFR21 L858R compound EGFR mutations: a case report.
Anti-cancer Drugs 2024 March 16
Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are considered the first-line treatment for advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients harboring EGFR mutations. However, due to the rarity of cases, the response of EGFR-TKIs in patients harboring uncommon compound EGFR mutations still needs to be determined. Here, we demonstrated the case of a 47-year-old smoker diagnosed with leptomeningeal metastasis from NSCLC and had EGFR20 R776S, C797S, and EGFR21 L858R compound mutations. He was treated with furmonertinib combined with intrathecal pemetrexed chemotherapy following progression on osimertinib, which led to clinical improvement and successfully prolonged his survival by 3 months. Regrettably, the patient eventually died from heart disease. This report provides the first reported evidence for the use of furmonertinib and intrathecal pemetrexed chemotherapy in NSCLC patients harboring EGFR R776S/C797S/L858R mutations who progressed on previous EGFR-TKIs.
