Abstract
Osimertinib, a third-generation epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), has been recommended as a first-line treatment of EGFR-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Skin rash is one of the most common side effects of osimertinib, and can have an impact on patients' quality of life and follow-up. However, there are few reports on the safety and efficacy of switching therapy with osimertinib and the other three generations of TKIs. In this paper, we present a case of NSCLC with an EGFR exon 19 deletion (19del) and MET gene amplification who developed a severe rash after 2 months of treatment with osimertinib that did not recur after switching to replacement therapy with aumonertinib. Our findings indicate that aumonertinib is as effective as osimertinib in treating EGFR19del, while also exhibiting a lower occurrence of adverse skin reactions. This may result in an improved quality of life for patients.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Chemotherapy is an international multidisciplinary journal committed to the rapid publication of high quality, peer-reviewed, original research on all aspects of antimicrobial and antitumor chemotherapy.
The Journal publishes original experimental and clinical research articles, state-of-the-art reviews, brief communications and letters on all aspects of chemotherapy, providing coverage of the pathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment, and control of infection, as well as the use of anticancer and immunomodulating drugs.
Specific areas of focus include, but are not limited to:
· Antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, antiparasitic, and antiprotozoal agents;
· Anticancer classical and targeted chemotherapeutic agents, biological agents, hormonal drugs, immunomodulatory drugs, cell therapy and gene therapy;
· Pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of antimicrobial and anticancer agents;
· The efficacy, safety and toxicology profiles of antimicrobial and anticancer drugs;
· Drug interactions in single or combined applications;
· Drug resistance to antimicrobial and anticancer drugs;
· Research and development of novel antimicrobial and anticancer drugs, including preclinical, translational and clinical research;
· Biomarkers of sensitivity and/or resistance for antimicrobial and anticancer drugs;
· Pharmacogenetics and pharmacogenomics;
· Precision medicine in infectious disease therapy and in cancer therapy;
· Pharmacoeconomics of antimicrobial and anticancer therapies and the implications to patients, health services, and the pharmaceutical industry.
