Abstrakt: Targeted therapies are the standard first-line treatment for metastatic lung adenocarcinoma with certain molecular abnormalities. These abnormalities are particularly common in Southeast Asia and French Polynesia. A 51-year-old Tahitian female non-smoker was diagnosed in 2018 with stage IV lung adenocarcinoma harboring a p.L858R EGFR mutation. She received gefitinib as first-line treatment. Due to locoregional progression and the presence of a resistance mutation (p.T790M of EFGR), she received osimertinib as second-line treatment, after which chemotherapy was proposed as 3rd-line treatment. An additional biopsy detected not only the previously known EGFR mutation, but also a BRAF p.V600E mutation. Following disease progression during chemotherapy, the patient received targeted therapies combining dabrafenib, trametinib and osimertinib. Due to a dissociated response after four months of treatment, a 5th line of paclitaxel bevacizumab was initiated. Subsequent to additional progression and given the ALK rearrangement shown on the re-biopsy, 6th-line treatment with alectinib was proposed. As the response was once again dissociated, a final line was proposed before stopping active treatments due to their toxicity and overall deterioration in the patient's state of health. This exceptional case is characterized by resistance to anti-EGFR through the successive and cumulative acquisition of two new oncogene addictions. The authors underline the importance of re-biopsy at each progression, leading (if at all feasible) to yet around round of targeted therapy.
