Clinical impact of mutation fraction in epidermal growth factor receptor mutation positive NSCLC patients.

ABSTRACT: We examined clinical outcomes in a population-based cohort of EGFR mutant advanced NSCLC patients, exploring the potential role of factors including tumour EGFR mutation fraction and cellularity in predicting outcomes.A cohort of patients with EGFR mutant advanced NSCLC was identified (N =2 93); clinical outcomes, pathologic and treatment details were collected. Tumour response was determined from radiology and clinical notes. Association between demographic and pathologic variables EGFR TKI response, time to treatment failure (TTF) and overall survival (OS) was examined using logistic regression and proportional hazards regression. EGFR TKI response rates were summarised by percent mutation fraction to explore their association.Higher mutation fraction was associated with greater EGFR TKI response rate (odds ratio 1.58, 95% CI = 1.21-2.07, P = 0.0008), longer TTF (hazard ratio 0.80, 95% CI = 0.68-0.92, P = 0.003) and better OS (hazard ratio 0.81, 95% CI = 0.67-0.99, P = 0.04). However, even in patients with ? 5% mutation fraction, response rate was 34%. Females had longer TTF (P = 0.02).EGFR mutation fraction in tumour samples was significantly associated with response, TTF and OS. Despite this, no lower level of mutation fraction was detected for which EGFR TKI should be withheld in those with activating EGFR mutations.

Project description:BackgroundUncommon epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations consist of a heterogeneous population of molecular alterations, and the available clinical data on the outcomes of patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring uncommon EGFR mutations following afatinib treatment are limited. The purpose of this pooled analysis was to investigate the clinicopathological features of patients with uncommon EGFR mutations (um-EGFRms) along with their treatment response and survival outcomes following afatinib treatment.MethodsWe performed a literature search in the NCBI PubMed database to identify relevant articles and conducted this pooled analysis based on 70 studies. The relationships between patient clinical characteristics, EGFR mutation type and the response to afatinib treatment were analyzed using univariate chi-square analysis, and survival analysis was performed using the Kaplan-Meier method.ResultsData from a total of 99 patients were included in the pooled analysis. The objective response rate (ORR) to treatment with afatinib was53.5%, with a median progression-free survival (mPFS) of 9.0 months. For patients administered first-line afatinib treatment, the ORR and median PFS were 73.5% and 15.6 months, respectively, which were both superior to those of patients treated with second- or later-line treatments (ORR:37.0%, p < 0.001; mPFS: 6.0months, p = 0.001). Moreover, patients with a single um-EGFRm were more likely to have a favorable response and prognosis benefit after treatment with afatinib than patients with multiple one (ORR: 63.3% vs 38.5%, p=0.017; mPFS: 15.6 months vs 6.0 months,p=0.010). Moreover, single um-EGFRm were independent predictive factors for better treatment response and superior PFS. Subgroup analysis indicated that patients harboring major um-EGFRms (i.e., L861Q, G719X, and S768I) exhibited the best treatment responses and prognoses (ORR: 74.1%, mPFS: 15.6 months), by contrast, patients harboring multiple um-EGFRms comprising 19del/L858R had the worst treatment responses and prognoses (ORR: 23.5%, mPFS: 5.6months).ConclusionsPatients with um-EGFRms exhibit favorable but inconsistent responses and survival outcomes following afatinib treatment, which closely related to the mutation pattern and cooccurring partner mutant genes. Administering afatinib for the treatment of patients with um-EGFRm might be considered an effective treatment option in some circumstances, but this recommendation requires further clinical studies for verification.
