Trastuzumab plus chemotherapy remains the standard first-line treatment strategy for HER2-positive gastric cancer (GC). Trastuzumab resistance, on the other hand, remains a significant issue. There are a few effective anti-HER2 agents for patients who develop resistance to trastuzumab.
A 49-year-old female was diagnosed with stage IV GC with liver and lung metastasis in July 2017. She underwent gastrostomy, and the immunohistochemistry (IHC) result of postoperative tissue demonstrated HER2 (3+). She received first-line treatment of trastuzumab (440 mg), oxaliplatin (200 mg), and S-1 (40 mg). After treatment for 6 months, the patient achieved complete response (CR) with PFS up to 21 months. After progression, she subsequently received trastuzumab (440 mg) plus oxaliplatin (200 mg) as second-line treatment. However, the patient developed resistance to trastuzumab after 12 months of treatment. She started to receive third-line treatment of irinotecan (200 mg d1) and capecitabine (60 mg bid) plus pyrotinib (400 mg/day). After 2 months of treatment, the tumor is evaluated as partial response with PFS of 12 months.
We presented a patient with HER2-positive GC who benefited from the pyrotinib-based treatment after two lines of trastuzumab-based therapies failed. Further research is required to validate such conclusions.
曲妥珠单抗联合化疗仍然是HER2阳性胃癌(GC)的标准一线治疗策略。另一方面,曲妥珠单抗耐药仍然是一个重大问题。对于对曲妥珠单抗产生耐药的患者,有几种有效的抗HER2药物。
一名49岁女性于2017年7月被诊断为IV期GC伴肝肺转移。她接受了胃造口术,术后组织的免疫组化(IHC)结果显示HER2(3+)。她接受了曲妥珠单抗(440mg)、奥沙利铂(200mg)和S-1(40mg)的一线治疗。治疗6个月后,患者达到完全缓解(CR),无进展生存期(PFS)长达21个月。病情进展后,她随后接受了曲妥珠单抗(440mg)加奥沙利铂(200mg)作为二线治疗。然而,患者在治疗12个月后对曲妥珠单抗产生了耐药。她开始接受三线治疗,即伊立替康(200mg d1)、卡培他滨(60mg bid)加吡咯替尼(400mg/天)。治疗2个月后,肿瘤评估为部分缓解,PFS为12个月。
我们报告了一名HER2阳性GC患者,在两线基于曲妥珠单抗的治疗失败后,从基于吡咯替尼 的治疗中获益。需要进一步的研究来验证这些结论。
