Clinical outcomes in non-small-cell lung cancer patients with EGFR mutations: pooled analysis.

ABSTRACT: Non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with mutations in the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is a distinct subgroup of NSCLCs that is particularly responsive to EGFR tyrosine-kinase inhibitors (TKIs). A weighted pooled analysis of available studies was performed to evaluate clinical outcome in patients with EGFR-mutated NSCLC who were treated with chemotherapy or EGFR TKIs. Median progression-free survival (PFS) times were pooled from prospective or retrospective studies that evaluated chemotherapy or single-agent EGFR TKIs (erlotinib or gefitinib) in patients with NSCLC and EGFR mutations. Among the studies identified for inclusion in the analysis, 12 evaluated erlotinib (365 patients), 39 evaluated gefitinib (1069 patients) and 9 evaluated chemotherapy (375 patients). Across all studies, the most common EGFR mutations were deletions in exon 19 and the L858R substitution in exon 21. In the weighted pooled analysis, the overall median PFS was 13.2 months with erlotinib, 9.8 months with gefitinib and 5.9 months with chemotherapy. Using a two-sided permutation, erlotinib and gefitinib produced a longer median PFS versus chemotherapy, both individually (P= 0.000 and P= 0.002, respectively) and as a combined group (EGFR TKI versus chemotherapy, P= 0.000). EGFR TKIs appear to be the most effective treatment for patients with advanced EGFR-mutant NSCLC. Ongoing prospective trials comparing the efficacy of first-line chemotherapy and EGFR TKIs in EGFR-mutant disease should provide further insight into the most appropriate way to treat this specific group of patients.

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: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.
