Case Report: Dramatic response to amivantamab plus chemotherapy in EGFR G719A–mutant lung adenocarcinoma with liver and peritoneal metastases
To report a case demonstrating the efficacy of amivantamab combined with chemotherapy in a patient with an uncommon EGFR G719A mutation, which is often associated with limited treatment options, and extensive visceral metastases.
Key Findings:
Marked regression of lung mass, hepatic and brain metastases, and resolution of ascites observed in follow-up imaging, indicating a significant therapeutic response.
Patient's performance status improved, and the response remained durable for over nine months, suggesting long-term benefits of the treatment.
Manageable side effects included grade 1–2 skin rash and stomatitis, indicating tolerability of the treatment.
Interpretation:
This case highlights the potential of amivantamab-based combination therapy as a salvage option for patients with uncommon EGFR mutations and extensive metastases, suggesting a need for further exploration in clinical settings.
Limitations:
This is a single case study, limiting generalizability and necessitating caution in interpreting results.
Further studies are warranted to confirm findings in larger populations and to explore the efficacy of amivantamab in diverse patient cohorts.
Conclusion:
The case demonstrates a durable, near-complete response to amivantamab combined with chemotherapy in a high-risk patient.
