Abstract:

Objective To investigate the curative effect of osimertinib combined with savolitinib targeted therapy in the patients with non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC) and central nervous system(CNS) metastasis with acquired resistance to epidermal growth factor receptor(EGFR)-tyrosine kinase inhibitor(TKI), and to provide the reference for the targeted therapy for the disease. Methods The clinical data of one NSCLC complicated with CNS metastasis patient with non-frameshift deletion mutation in exon 19 of the EGFR gene complicated with MET amplification were collected, and the clinical characteristics, treatment methods, drug resistance mechanisms of targeted therapy, and treatment methods after drug resistance were analyzed combined with the literature review. Results The patient, female,47 years old, was diagnosed as lung adenocarcinoma in our hospital 3 years ago. The genetic test results showed that there was a non-frameshift deletion mutation in exon 19 of the EGFR gene, and the patient was given icotinib targeted therapy. After 18 months of treatment, the genetic test results showed the patient had the Exon20-T790M mutation, and the patient received oral osimertinib targeted therapy. Twelve months later, the disease progressed and CNS metastasis was found by the re-examination, and the genetic test showed the patient had the mesenchymal-epidermal transforming factor(MET) amplification,the patient received oral osimertinib combined with anlotinib targeted therapy. More than 2 months later, the re-examination results found that the disease had further progress, and the treatment plan was adjusted into osimertinib combined with savolitinib targeted therapy. After 1 month and 4 months, the re-examination results of chest CT and head MRI showed that the lung lesions and brain lesions were significantly smaller than before. Conclusion For the NSCLC brain metastases patients with EGFR-TKI resistance complicated with MET amplification after long-term targeted therapy, the combination of osimertinib and savolitinib targeted therapy can significantly control the progress of the lung and CNS disease in the short term.
