融合伙伴的故事系列丨老药新用,靶向新星:NRG1融合基因
2017年5月,Gay等[1]在《J Thorac Oncol》上发文,报道了两个有趣的案例:两位 NRG1融合 的肺癌患者通过二代EGFR-TKI阿法替尼治疗,PFS分别为12个月和10个月。
案例1: 患者是一位42岁从不吸烟的男性白种人,肺腺癌伴随肝转移和颞骨转移,二代基因测序没有发现EGFR、ALK、ROS1、KRAS等突变,只有TP53突变。患者在接受了4个周期的培美曲塞联合铂类化疗后,进行了RNA测序,发现其具有SLC3A2-NRG1基因融合,随后应用了阿法替尼(40mg qd)治疗,在服药2-3天后,患者咳嗽和气短症状便有了很大的改善。CT和MRI显示原发肿瘤和颞骨转移灶都发生了明显缩小,疗效评估达到部分缓解(PR)并维持了12个月。
案例2: 患者是一位62岁从不吸烟的男性白种人,诊断为早期肺癌,行右下肺切除术+淋巴结清扫。手术后几个月,发现了左肾上腺转移,二代测序显示只有TP53和MYC基因突变,RNA测序发现患者具有CD74-NRG1基因融合,于是也应用了阿法替尼(40mg qd)治疗,疗效评估PR并维持了10个月。
