Abstract: Short bowel syndrome (SBS) following extensive intestinal resection is often characterized by impaired absorption of orally administered drugs, including tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI). We report the case of a patient with EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung carcinoma treated with 80 mg/day of the TKI osimertinib who achieved partial response of the tumour, but was subsequently subjected to a double-barrelled jejunostomy due to ileus. Due to the development of SBS after the bypass surgery, plasma concentrations of osimertinib were monitored using mass spectrometry. The therapeutic drug monitoring confirmed a malabsorption of osimertinib in the patient (108 ng/mL, which is below the 5th percentile of the expected plasma concentration) and was useful to guide adjustments of TKI dosing in order to achieve adequate blood levels (161 ng/mL after increase of the dose to 120 mg/day) in order to maintain tumour control.
