Almonertinib Combined with Anlotinib and Temozolomide in a Patient with Recurrent Glioblastoma with EGFR L858R Mutation.

ABSTRACT: Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common primary brain tumor, and patients with GBM have a universally poor prognosis. Genomic profiling has detected epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene alterations in more than half of GBMs. Major genetic events include amplification and mutation of EGFR. Interestingly, we identified an EGFR p.L858R mutation in a patient with recurrent GBM for the first time. Based on the genetic testing results, almonertinib combined with anlotinib and temozolomide was administered and obtained 12 months of progression-free survival after the diagnosis of recurrence as the fourth-line treatment. This is the first report that an EGFR p.L858R mutation was identified in a patient with recurrent GBM. Furthermore, this case report represents the first study applying the
