Title:

Glioblastoma with novel EGFR mutations (T790M and exon 20 insertion) yet unresponsive to osimertinib: a case report

Published date:
03/30/2023
Excerpt:
Here we describe a case of a 49-year-old man with a GBM...comprehensive genomic profiling by next-generation sequencing identified two rare mutations in EGFR: T790M and an exon 20 insertion. Based on these findings, the patient elected to undergo off-label therapy with osimertinib...no clinical response was observed, and the patient succumbed to the disease. The lack of response may be related to the specific nature of the EGFR mutations, and/or other unfavorable tumour biology overriding any benefit from osimertinib.
