50y 👩🏻 never 🚬 presents with cough

🩻CT: 2cm RLL 🫁 mass & pleural effusion
💧Tap of pleural fluid: adenocarcinoma TTF1+ (T1bN0M1a) Stage 4A #NSCLC
🧪NGS: exon19 deletion EGFR mutation & PDL1 70%+

🤨What’s most appropriate initial tx?

@TumorBoardTues 2/17 #TumorBoardTuesday #LCSM

👩🏻 starts osimertinib with resolution of effusion

She has🧴dry skin & occasional 💩diarrhea managed with loperamide

After 18 months she develops headache
🧲MRI brain shows new 2cm 🧠 metastasis with edema

🤨What’s the most appropriate next step?

👨🏼‍🏫Mini tweetorial 1

EGFR mutations

📍≈15% of🫁adenocarcinomas
📍More common in light or never smokers, women, & Asian ethnicity
📍90% sensitizing & either exon19 del/ins or L858R mut in exon21

Many trials (ex IPASS) show EGFR TKIs >> chemo

‼️Testing each adenoca pt for EGFRm is critical‼️

CAP/IASLC rec test ALL regardless of demo or🚬hx

✨HERTHENA-Lung 1 trial✨

🔹HER3 antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) patritumab deruxtecan (DXd) tested in EGFRm+ pts post-osi
🔹ORR: 39%

Another good option:

Amivantamab and lazertinib

⚡️Don’t forget amivantamab (MET-EGFR bispecific) & lazertinib (3rd gen EGFR TKI)⚡️

📍Chrysalis-2 study had ORR of 25-30% in previously treated EGFRm+ #NSCLC patients!

🧑‍🔬Many being tested but🤷🏼‍♂️no real clinical data yet

Some (not full list!) examples:

Back to our case🔎

👩🏻 undergoes SRS to the 🧠 lesion & cont osi

📅 6 months later develops new liver lesions & worsening effusion
🔬Rebiopsy confirms adenocarcinoma with original EGFR mutation only

Now what?

Importance of new biopsy at PD to rule out #SCLC & new 🎯

🤨Should you rebiopsy patients with EGFRm+ #NSCLC at time of emerging resistance?
👍🏽YES!

📌Remember to rule out SMALL CELL transformation which occurs in ≈8%

Toxicity of patritumab DXd

📌AE’s to remember for patritumab DXd

Most toxicity related to chemo payload:
🩸cytopenias
💩GI tox
🫁≈ 5% rate of interstitial lung disease (ILD)

🕵🏼‍♂️watch for pulm toxicity

Case update

👩🏻 good response to patritumab-DXd for 8 months 🙌🏽

No significant toxicity, but glad that there are multiple options at time of progression!
