Abstract
BACKGROUND
Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) have been the standard first-line therapy for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) sensitive mutations. Uncommon EGFR mutations are increasingly reported with the development of next-generation sequencing. However, their sensitivity to TKIs is variable with limited clinical evidence.
CASE SUMMARY
Here, we report a patient with the rare delE709_T710insD mutation, who showed the favorable efficacy of dacomitinib and achieved a partial response with a progression-free survival of 7.0 mo.
CONCLUSION
To our knowledge, this is the first report displaying the clinical efficacy of dacomitinib for patients with delE709_T710insD, which may help to provide alternatives in non-classical variant NSCLC patients. Further studies are warranted to make the optimal choice of EGFR-TKI for rare mutations.
Core Tip: DelE709_T710insD is an extremely rare complex in-frame deletion mutation in exon 18 and accounts for only 0.11% of epidermal growth factor receptor mutations. The development of next-generation sequencing enabled the more identification of rare variants. Our case is the first report describing the clinical efficacy of dacomitinib for delE709_T710insD and achieved a progression-free survival of 7.0 mo. More patients with the rare variants may benefit from dacomitinib targeted therapy based on our study.
