Response to Brigatinib Targeted Therapy in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Harboring Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Exon 19 Deletion, T790M, and cis-C797S Triple Mutations: A Case Report.

Epidermal growth factor receptor ( EGFR ) triple mutations with exon 19 deletion (del19), T790M, and cis-C797S (del19/T790M/cis-C797S mutations) frequently occur in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), while progression to frontline EGFR -tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) and osimertinib was resistant to all clinically available EGFR -TKIs. Brigatinib monotherapy may be a potential treatment for NSCLC harboring del19/T790M/cis-C797S mutations based on preclinical studies; however, no clinical report has evaluated its efficacy on EGFR del19/T790M/cis-C797S mutations. Herein, we present a case of a female patient with EGFR del19-mutated NSCLC treated with afatinib followed by osimertinib due to acquired T790M mutation. The EGFR del19/T790M/cis-C797S mutations were detected following osimertinib treatment. Complete response of skull metastasis was confirmed after brigatinib treatment (90 mg daily). Unfortunately, she experienced intolerable adverse events; therefore, brigatinib was discontinued after three-month usage. This report provides the first reported evidence for the use of brigatinib monotherapy in patients with NSCLC harboring EGFR del19/T790M/cis-C797S mutations after progression to previous EGFR -TKIs.
