Afatinib for the treatment of advanced non-small-cell lung cancer harboring an epidermal growth factor receptor exon 18 E709_T710delinsD mutation: a case report

Abstract Background The discovery of epidermal growth factor receptor oncogenic driver mutations has changed the therapeutic landscape of advanced non-small cell lung cancer in the past decade. Since the introduction of next-generation sequencing, uncommon epidermal growth factor receptor mutations...

Because seldom evaluated in clinical trials, their clinical significance and response on tyrosine kinase inhibitors are less well known. Case presentation A 58-year-old Caucasian woman with no smoking history presented with advanced non-small cell lung cancer. Liver biopsy revealed an adenocarcinoma with a programmed death ligand-1 tumor proportion score of 30% and no common oncogenic driver mutations. A combination of chemotherapy and immunotherapy was started as first-line treatment. However, treatment was ceased after 18 weeks because of immune-related renal failure and disease progression. In the meantime, the next-generation sequencing results of the liver biopsy had revealed an exon 18 E709_T710delinsD mutation. Therefore, afatinib was administered, which was moderately tolerated with grade 2 paronychia and acneiform skin eruption. After 6 months, a partial response with ongoing decrease of the liver metastasis was retained. Conclusion Because of the lack of clinical trials, tumor heterogeneity, and a tyrosine kinase inhibitor affinity related to the different mutation types, it is difficult to predict the clinical outcome of tyrosine kinase inhibitor in uncommon mutations. Therefore, a therapeutic trial with tyrosine kinase inhibitor has to be considered, but the expected clinical response is lower than for common mutations.Lander Van AckerDieter StevensKarim VermaelenVeerle SurmontBMCarticleNSCLC1EGFR exon 182E709_T710delinsD mutation3Afatinib4Case report5MedicineRENJournal of Medical Case Reports, Vol 15, Iss 1, Pp 1-5 (2021)
