Overcoming Resistance to Osimertinib by T790M Loss and C797S Acquisition Using Gefitinib in a Patient With EGFR-Mutant NSCLC: A Case Report.

ABSTRACT: Limited strategies are available at disease progression on osimertinib for patients with EGFR-mutant NSCLC. The emergence of the on-target EGFR C797S mutation has been described as one of the most common mechanisms of resistance. In addition, loss of the EGFR T790M mutation has been mainly investigated as a resistance phenomenon to second-line osimertinib exposure. Remarkably, by studying the molecular profile at progression, it has been reported that the presence of the EGFR-sensitizing mutation, concurrently with the T790M, and C797S resulted in resistance to the current available EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Here, we report the first clinical evidence of gefitinib efficacy at EGFR exon 19 deletion/C797S mutation/T790M loss-mediated resistanc
