Successful treatment of a patient with NSCLC carrying uncommon compound EGFR G719X and S768I mutations using osimertinib: A case report.

ABSTRACT: The discovery of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) somatic mutations and the availability of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) as targeted therapies have altered the therapeutic prospects of advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). G719X and S768I are uncommon mutations, and they often exist as compound mutations. A few reports have described the efficacy of first- and second-generation EGFR-TKIs. However, the efficacy of osimertinib in patients with these uncommon compound mutations is unknown. In this study, we reported the postoperative outcome of a patient with NSCLC and uncommon compound EGFR G719X and S768I mutations. After postoperative recurrence, the patient was treated with osimertinib, and an excellent and long-lasting clinical response was achieved. The patient has taken osimertinib for 31.0 months and exhibited a partial response, and her follow-up is ongoing.
