Customized treatment in non-small-cell lung cancer based on EGFR mutations and BRCA1 mRNA expression.

ABSTRACT: Median survival is 10 months and 2-year survival is 20% in metastatic non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treated with platinum-based chemotherapy. A small fraction of non-squamous cell lung cancers harbor EGFR mutations, with improved outcome to gefitinib and erlotinib. Experimental evidence suggests that BRCA1 overexpression enhances sensitivity to docetaxel and resistance to cisplatin. RAP80 and Abraxas are interacting proteins that form complexes with BRCA1 and could modulate the effect of BRCA1. In order to further examine the effect of EGFR mutations and BRCA1 mRNA levels on outcome in advanced NSCLC, we performed a prospective non-randomized phase II clinical trial, testing the hypothesis that customized therapy would confer improved outcome over non-customized therapy. In an exploratory analysis, we also examined the effect of RAP80 and Abraxas mRNA levels.We treated 123 metastatic non-squamous cell lung carcinoma patients using a customized approach. RNA and DNA were isolated from microdissected specimens from paraffin-embedded tumor tissue. Patients with EGFR mutations received erlotinib, and those without EGFR mutations received chemotherapy with or without cisplatin based on their BRCA1 mRNA levels: low, cisplatin plus gemcitabine; intermediate, cisplatin plus docetaxel; high, docetaxel alone. An exploratory analysis examined RAP80 and Abraxas expression. Median survival exceeded 28 months for 12 patients with EGFR mutations, and was 11 months for 38 patients with low BRCA1, 9 months for 40 patients with intermediate BRCA1, and 11 months for 33 patients with high BRCA1. Two-year survival was 73.3%, 41.2%, 15.6% and 0%, respectively. Median survival was influenced by RAP80 expression in the three BRCA1 groups. For example, for patients with both low BRCA1 and low RAP80, median survival exceeded 26 months. RAP80 was a significant factor for survival in patients treated according to BRCA1 levels (hazard ratio, 1.3 [95% CI, 1-1.7]; P = 0.05).Chemotherapy customized according to BRCA1 expression levels is associated with excellent median and 2-year survival for some subsets of NSCLC patients , and RAP80 could play a crucial modulating effect on this model of customized chemotherapy.(ClinicalTrials.gov) NCT00883480.

Project description:BackgroundEpidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are standard treatments for advanced EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. Osimertinib is an effective therapy for NSCLC patients with acquired resistance due to T790M mutation after first- and second-generation EGFR-TKI treatment. This study aimed to analyze the clinical outcomes of sequential therapy following first-line EGFR-TKIs and the predictive factors of an acquired T790M mutation.MethodsBetween January 2014 and December 2018, data from 2190 advanced NSCLC patients with common EGFR mutations (exon 19 deletion and L858R) receiving first- and second-generation EGFR-TKIs in Linkou, Kaohsiung, Chiayi and Keelung Chang Gung Memorial Hospitals were retrospectively retrieved and analyzed.ResultsUntil August 2021, among 1943 patients who experienced progressive disease, 526 underwent T790M mutation tests, and their T790M-positive rate was 53.6%. Exon 19 deletion mutation and progression-free survival (PFS) of >12 months were positively associated with secondary T790M mutation. Different first-line first- and second-generation EGFR-TKI therapies did not affect the appearance of acquired T790M mutations. The median overall survival (OS) was 58.3 [95% confidence interval (CI): 49.0-67.5] months among the patients with T790M mutation who received second-line osimertinib therapy compared with 31.0 (95% CI: 27.5-34.5) months among the patients without T790M mutation who received chemotherapy alone. The multivariate analysis showed that a poor performance status (score: >2), nonadenocarcinoma histology, stage IV cancer, liver metastasis, brain metastasis, PFS while on first-line EGFR-TKIs, and subsequent chemotherapy without third-generation EGFR-TKIs were significant independent unfavorable prognostic factors for OS.ConclusionThis study demonstrated the efficacy of first-line EGFR-TKIs and sequential osimertinib therapy. The results of our study suggest that T790M mutation tests are important for the use of subsequent osimertinib, which yielded favorable survival outcomes.

Project description:Approximately 10% of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are uncommon EGFR mutations. Although the efficacy of second (2G) or third generation (3G) EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) in the patients with uncommon EGFR mutation has been proven, further studies are warranted to define the optimal treatment approach for uncommon EGFR mutation-positive NSCLC. This study retrospectively investigated the treatment patterns and outcomes of patients with uncommon EGFR mutation-positive NSCLC from January 2011 to December 2019 at the Samsung Medical Center, Seoul, Korea. During the study, 2121 patients with EGFR mutation-positive NSCLC received first-generation (1G, gefitinib or erlotinib) or 2G EGFR-TKI (afatinib) as the first-line (1L) systemic therapy. Of this, 135 (6.4%) patients harbored uncommon EGFR mutations. Of 135, 54 (40%, 54/135) patients had overlapping mutations with major EGFR mutations. The objective response rate (ORR) for the 1L EGFR-TKI was 63.3%. The median progression-free survivals (PFSs) were 8.6 months (95% CI: 3.8-13.5), 11.7 months (95% CI: 6.6-16.7), 7.7 months (95% CI: 4.9-17.4), and 5.0 months (95% CI: 3.7-6.1) for major uncommon EGFR mutation (G719X, L861Q), compound mutation with major EGFR mutation (Del 19 or EGFR exon 21 p.L858R), other compound mutation, and other uncommon mutations, respectively. The median overall survivals (OSs) were 25.6 months (16.9-34.2), 28.8 (95% CI: 24.4-33.4), 13.5 months (95% CI: 7.4-27.8), and 9.4 months (95% CI: 3.4-10.5) for major uncommon EGFR mutation (G719X), compound mutation with major EGFR mutation (Del 19 or EGFR exon 21 p.L858R), other compound mutation, and other uncommon mutations, respectively. The response rate, median PFS, and OS were 63.3%, 16.3 months (95% CI: 15.6-16.9), and 37.5 months (95% CI: 35.4-39.6) for common EGFR mutation-positive NSCLC. After failing 1L EGFR-TKI, repeated tissue or liquid biopsy were carried out on 44.9% (35/78) of patients with T790M detected in 10/35 (28.6%) patients. With subsequent 3G EGFR-TKI after failing the first-line EGFR-TKI, the ORR and PFS for 3G EGFR-TKI were 80% and 8.9 months (95% CI: 8.0-9.8). These patients showed a median OS of 34.6 months (95% CI: 29.8-39.4). The ORR, PFS and OS were poorer in patients with uncommon (especially other compound and other uncommon mutation) than those with common EGFR mutations. T790M was detected in 28.6% of the uncommon EGFR mutation-positive patients for whom prior 1G/2G EGFR-TKIs failed and underwent repeat biopsy at the time of progression.

Project description:Lessons learnedThis single-arm, phase II study shows that concurrent EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitor plus thoracic radiotherapy as the first-line treatment for stage IV non-small cell lung cancer harboring EGFR active mutations provides long-term control for the primary lung lesion, and 1-year progression-free survival (PFS) rate and median PFS are numerically higher than those of the erlotinib monotherapy.Serious adverse events are acceptable, although grade >3 radiation pneumonitis occurred in 20% of patients.BackgroundStudies show effective local control by EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) combined with radiotherapy at metastatic sites in advanced lung cancer harboring EGFR active mutations. Salvage local radiotherapy is associated with prolonged progression-free survival (PFS) in local disease during EGFR-TKI treatment. However, no prospective study has been reported on concurrent EGFR-TKI and radiotherapy for primary lung lesions. This study investigated the efficacy and safety of first-line EGFR-TKI combined with thoracic radiotherapy in treating stage IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring EGFR active mutations.MethodsWe conducted a single-arm, phase II clinical trial. Each patient received EGFR-TKI (erlotinib 150 mg or gefitinib 250 mg per day) plus thoracic radiotherapy (54-60 Gy/27-30 F/5.5-6 w) within 2 weeks of beginning EGFR-TKI therapy until either disease progression or intolerable adverse events (AEs) appeared.ResultsFrom January 2015 to March 2018, 401 patients were screened, and 10 patients (5 male and 5 female) were eligible. These patients had a median age of 55 years (40-75) and median follow-up of 19.8 months (5.8-34). The 1-year PFS rate was 57.1%, median PFS was 13 months, and median time to progression of irradiated lesion (iTTP) was 20.5 months. Objective response rate (ORR), was 50% and disease control rate (DCR) was 100%. The most common grade ≥3 AEs were radiation pneumonitis (20%) and rash (10%). One patient died after rejecting treatment for pneumonitis. The others received a full, systematic course of glucocorticoid therapy. Pneumonitis was all well controlled and did not relapse.ConclusionConcurrent EGFR-TKI plus thoracic radiotherapy as the first-line treatment for stage IV NSCLC harboring EGFR active mutations shows a long-term control of primary lung lesion. The 1-year PFS rate and median PFS of this combined therapy are numerically higher than those of the erlotinib monotherapy. The risk of serious adverse events is acceptable.
