Identification of genetic alterations associated with primary resistance to EGFR-TKIs in advanced non-small-cell lung cancer patients with EGFR sensitive mutations.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Identification of activated epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations and application of EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) have greatly changed the therapeutic strategies of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, the long-term efficacy of EGFR-TKI therapy is limited due to the development of drug resistance. The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation between the aberrant alterations of 8 driver genes and the primary resistance to EGFR-TKIs in advanced NSCLC patients with activated EGFR mutations. METHODS:We retrospectively reviewed the clinical data from 416 patients with stage III/IV or recurrent NSCLC who received an initial EGFR-TKI treatment, from April 2004 and March 2011, at the Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center. Several genetic alterations associated with the efficacy of EGFR-TKIs, including the alterations in BIM, ALK, KRAS, PIK3CA, PTEN, MET, IGF1R, and ROS1, were detected by the routine clinical technologies. The progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were compared between different groups using Kaplan-Meier survival analysis with the log-rank test. A Cox regression model was used to estimate multivariable-adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) and their 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) associated with the PFS and OS. RESULTS:Among the investigated patients, 169 NSCLC patients harbored EGFR-sensitive mutations. EGFR-mutant patients having PTEN deletion had a shorter PFS and OS than those with intact PTEN (P?=?0.003 for PFS, and P?=?0.034 for OS). In the combined molecular analysis of EGFR signaling pathway and resistance genes, we found that EGFR-mutant patients coexisted with aberrant alterations in EGFR signaling pathway and those having resistant genes had a statistically poorer PFS than those without such alterations (P?

Project description:BackgroundCurrently, the role of EGFR-TKIs as adjuvant therapy for stage I, especially IA NSCLC, after surgical resection remains unclear. We aimed to compare the effect of adjuvant EGFR-TKIs with observation in such patients by incorporating an established 14-gene molecular assay for risk stratification.MethodsThis retrospective cohort study was conducted at the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University (Study ID: ChNCRCRD-2022-GZ01). From March 2013 to February 2019, completely resected stage I NSCLC (8th TNM staging) patients with sensitive EGFR mutation were included. Patients with eligible samples for molecular risk stratification were subjected to the 14-gene prognostic assay. Inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) was employed to minimize imbalances in baseline characteristics.FindingsA total of 227 stage I NSCLC patients were enrolled, with 55 in EGFR-TKI group and 172 in the observation group. The median duration of follow-up was 78.4 months. After IPTW, the 5-year DFS (HR = 0.30, 95% CI, 0.14-0.67; P = 0.003) and OS (HR = 0.26, 95% CI, 0.07-0.96; P = 0.044) of the EGFR-TKI group were significantly better than the observation group. For subgroup analyses, adjuvant EGFR-TKIs were associated with favorable 5-year DFS rates in both IA (100.0% vs. 84.5%; P = 0.007), and IB group (98.8% vs. 75.3%; P = 0.008). The 14-gene assay was performed in 180 patients. Among intermediate-high-risk patients, EGFR-TKIs were associated with a significant improvement in 5-year DFS rates compared to observation (96.0% vs. 70.5%; P = 0.012), while no difference was found in low-risk patients (100.0% vs. 94.9%; P = 0.360).InterpretationOur study suggested that adjuvant EGFR-TKI might improve DFS and OS of stage IA and IB EGFR-mutated NSCLC, and the 14-gene molecular assay could help patients that would benefit the most from treatment.FundingThis work was supported by China National Science Foundation (82022048, 82373121).

Project description:BACKGROUND:The prognostic significance of TP53 concurrent mutations in patients with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)- or anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)- mutated advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who received EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) or ALK-TKIs based targeted therapy remains controversial. Therefore, the present meta-analysis was performed to investigate the association between TP53 concurrent mutations and prognosis of patients with advanced NSCLC undergoing EGFR-TKIs or ALK-TKIs treatments. METHODS:Eligible studies were identified by searching the online databases PubMed, Embase, Medline, The Cochrane library and Web of Science. Hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated to clarify the correlation between TP53 mutation status and prognosis of patients. This meta-analysis was conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement. RESULTS:In total, 15 studies with 1342 patients were included for final analysis. Overall, concurrent TP53 mutation was associated with unfavorable progression-free survival (PFS) (HR?=?1.88, 95%CI: 1.59-2.23, p <?0.001, I2 =?0.0%, P =?0.792) and overall survival (OS) (HR?=?1.92, 95%CI: 1.55-2.38, p <?0.001, I2 =?0.0%, P =?0.515). Subgroup analysis based on type of targeted therapy (EGFR-TKIs or ALK-TKIs, pathological type of cancer (adenocarcinoma only or all NSCLC subtypes) and line of treatment (first-line only or all lines) all showed that TP53 mutations was associated with shorter survivals of patients with EGFR-TKIs or ALK-TKIs treatments. Particularly, in patients with first-line EGFR-TKIs treatment, significantly poorer prognosis was observed in patients with TP53 concurrent mutations (pooled HR for PFS: 1.69, 95% CI 1.25-2.27, P <?0.001, I2 =?0.0%, P =?0.473; pooled HR for OS: 1.94, 95% CI 1.36-2.76, P <?0.001, I2 =?0.0%, P =?0.484). Begg's funnel plots and Egger's tests indicated no significant publication bias in this study. CONCLUSIONS:This meta-analysis indicated that concurrent TP53 mutations was a negative prognostic factor and associated with poorer outcomes of patients with EGFR-TKIs or ALK-TKIs treatments in advanced NSCLC. In addition, our study provided evidence that TP53 mutations might be involved in primary resistance to EGFR-TKIs treatments in patients with sensitive EGFR mutations in advanced NSCLC.

Project description:IntroductionEpidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) 19del and L858R mutation are known as "common mutations" in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and predict sensitivities to EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), whereas 20ins and T790M mutations confer drug-resistance to EGFR-TKIs. The role of the remaining uncommon EGFR mutations remains elusive.MethodsWe retrospectively screened a group of NSCLC patients with uncommon EGFR mutations other than 20ins and T790M. The mutation patterns, use of different generations of EGFR-TKIs, and concurrent genetic alterations were analyzed. Meanwhile, a cohort of patients with single 19del or L858R were included for comparison.ResultsA total of 180/1,300 (13.8%) patients were identified. There were 102 patients with advanced or recurrent NSCLC that received first-line therapy of gefitinib/erlotinib/icotinib and afatinib and were eligible for analysis. The therapeutic outcomes among patients with common mutations (EGFRcm, n = 97), uncommon mutation plus common mutations (EGFRum+EGFRcm, n = 52), complex uncommon mutations (complex EGFRum, n = 22), and single uncommon mutations (single EGFRum, n = 28) were significantly different (ORRs: 76.3%, 61.5%, 54.5%, and 50.0%, respectively, p = 0.023; and mPFS: 13.3, 14.7, 8.1, and 6.0 months, respectively, p = 0.004). Afatinib showed superior efficacy over gefitinib/erlotinib/icotinib in EGFRcm (ORR: 81.0% vs. 75.0%, p = 0.773; mPFS: 19.1 vs. 12.0m, p = 0.036), EGFRum+EGFRcm (ORR: 100% vs. 54.5%, p = 0.017; mPFS: NE vs. 13.6m, p = 0.032), and single EGFRum (ORR: 78.6% vs. 21.4%, p = 0.007; mPFS: 10.1 vs. 3.0m, p = 0.025) groups. Comprehensive genomic profiling by Next Generation Sequencing encompassing multiple cancer-related genes was performed on 51/102 patients; the mPFS of patients without co-mutation (n = 16) and with co-mutations of tumor-suppressor genes (n = 31) and driver oncogenes (n = 4) were 31.1, 9.2, and 12.4 months, respectively (p = 0.046). TP53 mutation was the most common co-alteration and showed significantly shorter mPFS than TP53 wild-type patients (7.0 vs. 31.1m, p < 0.001). Multivariate analysis revealed that concurrent 19del/L858R and tumor-suppressor gene alterations independently predicted better and worse prognosis in patients with uncommon mutations, respectively.ConclusionsUncommon EGFR mutations constitute a highly heterogeneous subgroup of NSCLC that confer different sensitivities to EGFR-TKIs with regard to the mutation patterns. Afatinib may be a better choice for most uncommon EGFR mutations. Concurrent 19del/L858R and tumor-suppressor gene alterations, especially TP53, can be established as prognostic biomarkers.
