Abstract

Osimertinib, as the first third‑generation epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), has been recommended universally as the priority front‑line therapeutic for advanced non‑small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) carrying EGFR‑sensitive mutations. However, patients inevitably acquire drug resistance to osimertinib. Aumolertinib is the second third­‑generation EGFR‑TKI and has been similarly approved as a first‑line treatment agent. The present study reports the cases of 3 patients who were challenged with aumolertinib after osimertinib failure. All 3 patients achieved a partial remission. The progression‑free survival periods following aumolertinib were 10.0, 11 and 9.0 months (at the time of writing the study). Although the patient in case 2 succumbed to an intracerebral hemorrhage due to hypertension, aumolertinib remained effective as a treatment in cases 1 and 3. The present case series suggests the use of aumolertinib challenge as an optional treatment for patients with metastatic NSCLC harboring EGFR‑sensitive mutations after osimertinib failure. The therapeutic strategy of switching from osimertinib to aumolertinib is worth exploring further in the near future.
