Co-Occurring EGFR S645C and EGFR L858R in a Patient with Lung Adenocarcinoma Induced Primary Resistance to Osimertinib.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Approximately 10-20% of patients demonstrate primary resistance to EGFR-TKIs, and different EGFR mutations vary in sensitivity to EGFR-TKIs. We report a case of a 78-year-old male with lung adenocarcinoma that EGFR L858R (AF = 1.32%) coexisting with EGFR S645C (AF = 7.13%) in his diagnosed tissues analyzed by NGS. The patient was primarily resistant to first-line osimertinib and rapidly progressed after pembrolizumab in combination with pemetrexed and bevacizumab, as demonstrated by persistently elevated CEA levels during treatment. ctDNA-based NGS analysis revealed loss of EGFR L858R while persistence of highly abundant EGFR S645C in the pleural fluid and plasma after treatment, suggesting that EGFR L858R may be a subclone. We provide the first clinical evidence of the primary resistance of EGFR S645C to osimertinib and emphasize the importance of identifying clones and subclones. Our patient did not respond to immunotherapy either, and preclinical studies have shown that EGFR S645C activates the MEK signaling pathway, the combination of EGFR-TKIs and MEK inhibitors may be effective.
