Combination of Crizotinib and Osimertinib in T790M+ EGFR-Mutant Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer with Emerging MET Amplification Post-Osimertinib Progression in a 10-Year Survivor: A Case Report

Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) represent the standard treatment for patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations. The duration of the response is, however, limited in time owing to the development of resistance mechanisms to both first- and second-generation agents such as MET oncogene amplification. This report describes the successful results obtained with the combination of the third-generation TKI osimertinib with the multitargeted TKI and MET inhibitor crizotinib in a patient with EGFR-mutant NSCLC with emerging MET amplification with a tolerable toxicity profile.
