Abstract

Osimertinib resistance, particularly EGFR C797S without T790M, lacks established treatment strategies. We report a 71-year-old woman with stage IVB lung adenocarcinoma harboring EGFR L858R (T790M-negative) who received first-line osimertinib for 29 months until progression. Post-progression ctDNA revealed L858R/C797S (T790M-negative) who received first-line osimertinib for 29 months until progression. Post-progression ctDNA revealed L858R/C797S (T790M-negative). She was subsequently treated with icotinib 125 mg tid, achieving stable disease for 6 months. This case suggests that first-generation EGFR-TKI subsequent therapy may provide short-term disease control in this rare molecular context.
