Objective:

To report a case of a patient with osimertinib resistance due to EGFR C797S mutation without T790M and the subsequent management with icotinib.

Approach:
  • Patient Case: A 71-year-old woman with stage IVB lung adenocarcinoma was treated with osimertinib for 29 months until progression, followed by treatment with icotinib.
Key Findings:
  • The patient developed EGFR L858R/C797S mutation after osimertinib treatment.
  • Icotinib treatment resulted in stable disease for 6 months.
Interpretation:

The therapeutic implications of C797S depend on the T790M status and allelic configuration.

Limitations:
  • The absence of post-progression tissue rebiopsy limited further analysis of the resistance mechanisms.
  • The findings are based on a single case report, which may not be generalizable.
Conclusion:

The case provides insights into treatment options for patients with specific EGFR mutation profiles post-osimertinib.
