Osimertinib-Induced Hepatitis Following Immunotherapy in a Patient with Lung Adenocarcinoma Harboring De Novo EGFR Exon 19 Deletion and T790M Mutations: A Case Report
2025
Background and Clinical Significance: Non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with EGFR mutations, particularly de novo compound mutations such as exon 19 deletions (Ex19del) with T790M substitutions, present a significant clinical challenge due to resistance to many treatments. While treating these patients, the administration of osimertinib, a third-generation EGFR inhibitor, after immunotherapy can lead to unique immune-related adverse events (irAEs), such as pneumonitis and, rarely, hepatitis. Case Presentation: A 36-year-old Filipino woman presented with metastatic NSCLC harboring de novo Ex19del and T790M mutations. Despite initial therapy with carboplatin and paclitaxel, followed by chemoimmunotherapy, the patient’s disease progressed. She subsequently developed severe hepatitis from osimertinib after her prior immunotherapy with pembrolizumab. After the hepatitis resolved with high-dose steroids, osimertinib was switched to afatinib, but her disease rapidly progressed with new metastases. A second attempt at osimertinib rechallenge, with concomitant prednisone, resulted in substantial disease control, including improved leptomeningeal disease (LMD) and no recurrence of hepatitis. Conclusions: This case underscores the feasibility of rechallenging with osimertinib in patients who experience adverse events such as hepatotoxicity, provided that appropriate management strategies, such as steroid therapy, are employed. The successful rechallenge in this case highlights the potential of osimertinib as a viable option in advanced EGFR-mutant NSCLC, even after prior treatment-related complications.

Background and Clinical Significance: The mesenchymal–epithelial transition (MET) exon 14 skipping mutation (METex14) is a rare genetic alteration occurring in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are the approved treatment for first-line therapy in a metastatic setting. However, the unusual presentation of gastrointestinal metastasis and leptomeningeal carcinomatosis (LMD) poses significant treatment challenges. Case Presentation: Here we report a case of a 72-year-old male with metastatic METex14-positive NSCLC, presenting with brain and duodenal metastases. Conclusions: The patient responded exceptionally well to first-line chemoimmunotherapy, achieving clinically complete remission for 2 years. He subsequently developed cerebellar metastasis and leptomeningeal disease (LMD) but demonstrated a remarkable response to tepotinib and continued to enjoy radiographic complete remission over 2.5 years at the time of this report.
