Real-world health utility scores and toxicities to tyrosine kinase inhibitors in epidermal growth factor receptor mutated advanced non-small cell lung cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Background

As the treatment landscape in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring mutations in the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFRm) continues to evolve, real-world health utility scores (HUS) become increasingly important for economic analyses.

Methods

In an observational cohort study, questionnaires were completed in EGFRm NSCLC outpatients, to include demographics, EQ-5D-based HUS and patient-reported toxicity and symptoms. Clinical and radiologic characteristics together with outcomes were extracted from chart review. The impact of health states, treatment type, toxicities, and clinical variables on HUS were evaluated.

Results

Between 2014 and 2018, a total of 260 patients completed 994 encounters. Across treatment groups, patients with disease progression had lower HUS compared to controlled disease (0.771 vs 0.803; P = .01). Patients predominantly received gefitinib as the first-line EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) (n = 157, mean-HUS = 0.798), whereas osimertinib (n = 62, mean-HUS = 0.806) and chemotherapy (n = 38, mean-HUS = 0.721) were more likely used in subsequent treatment lines. In longitudinal analysis, TKIs retained high HUS (>0.78) compared to chemotherapy (HUS < 0.74). There were no differences between the frequency or severity of toxicity scores in patients receiving gefitinib compared to osimertinib; however, TKI therapy resulted in fewer toxicities than chemotherapy (P < .05), with the exception of worse diarrhea and skin rash (P < .001). Severity in toxicities inversely correlated with HUS (P < .001). Clinico-demographic factors significantly affecting HUS included age, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Score (ECOG PS), disease state, treatment group, and metastatic burden.

Conclusions

In a real-world EGFRm population, patients treated with gefitinib or osimertinib had similar HUS and toxicities, scores which were superior to chemotherapy. Health utility scores inversely correlated with patient-reported toxicity scores. In the era of targeted therapies, future economic analyses should incorporate real-world HUS.

Project description:BackgroundIn the phase 3 FLAURA trial, osimertinib was compared with first-generation epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) as a first-line treatment for EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Osimertinib showed longer progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and a similar safety profile. However, more studies demonstrating the effectiveness and safety of osimertinib as a first-line strategy are needed in real-world populations.MethodsWe enrolled 1,556 patients with EGFR-mutated stage IIIc-IV NSCLC from the CAPTRA-Lung database. All patients received either osimertinib (n=202) or a first-generation EGFR-TKI (n=1,354) as their initial treatment. To adjust for differences in baseline characteristics between two groups, 1:2 propensity score matching (PSM) was performed. Propensity scores included gender, age, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status score, smoking history, family history of tumor, pathology, EGFR mutations, and central nervous system (CNS) metastases. The standardized mean differences (SMD) before and after PSM were calculated to examine the balance of covariate distributions between two groups.ResultsAfter PSM, 202 patients receiving osimertinib and 404 patients receiving first-generation EGFR-TKIs were finally identified. SMD of each matched variable is less than 0.10. The median PFS was 19.4 months [95% confidence interval (CI): 14.3-24.4] in the osimertinib arm and 10.9 months (95% CI: 9.3-12.5) in the comparator arm [hazard ratio (HR) for progression, 0.47; 95% CI: 0.38-0.59; P<0.001). The median OS was 40.5 months (95% CI: 27.1-54.0) vs. 34.3 months (95% CI: 30.6-38.0) in two groups, respectively (HR for death, 0.76; 95% CI: 0.58-1.00; P=0.045). The incidence of grade 3 adverse events (AEs) between the two groups was 1% and 4.2%, respectively. No grade 4 AEs and treatment-related deaths were reported in both groups.ConclusionsIn real-world settings, osimertinib demonstrates longer PFS and OS, with a similar safety profile to that of comparator EGFR-TKIs when used as a first-line strategy in NSCLC patients.

Project description:BackgroundResponse rates of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutated advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) to lower doses of osimertinib [20 mg once daily (OD) and 40 mg OD] are similar to those of the recommended dose of 80 mg OD, but there is a lack of real-world evidence on the effect of the lower doses of osimertinib on survival outcomes. We conducted this study to assess the efficacy and safety of lower osimertinib doses for patients with EGFR-mutated advanced NSCLC whose disease had progressed on earlier generation EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in a real-world clinical practice.MethodsThis multicenter, retrospective study included patients with EGFR-mutated advanced NSCLC treated with low doses of osimertinib after failing first- or second-generation EGFR TKIs due to acquired T790M mutation. Data on demographics, staging, treatment history, best overall response rate (ORR) based on RECIST 1.1, and adverse events (AEs) were collected from the patients' case notes. Descriptive data were described in percentages and medians. Progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method.ResultsOf the 22 patients studied [males =8 and females =14; Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) 1 or 2 =7 and ECOG 3 or 4 =15], 45.5% were on 40 mg OD, 31.8% were on 80 mg every other day (EOD), and 22.7% on 40 mg EOD. First-line EGFR TKIs used included afatinib, erlotinib, and gefitinib. The ORR with lower doses of second-line osimertinib was 77.3%. Overall, the median PFS was 10.0 months [95% confidence interval (CI): 8.6-11.4] and median OS was 13.0 months (95% CI: 9.4-16.6). In patients with ECOG 1 or 2, the median PFS was 18.0 months (95% CI: 5.8-30.2) and the median OS was not reached at the time of analysis. In patients with poor ECOG performance status of 3 and 4, good survival outcomes were also seen with a median PFS of 7.0 months (95% CI: 4.7-9.3) and median OS of 10.0 months (95% CI: 7.5-12.5). All AEs except one case of paronychia were Grade 1. There were no Grade 3 or 4 AEs.ConclusionsTreatment with low dose osimertinib demonstrated good efficacy and tolerability in EGFR-mutated advanced NSCLC patients who failed first-line treatment with first- or second-generation EGFR TKIs due to T790M mutation.

Project description:BackgroundThere are limited comparisons of first- and second-generation EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in large, real-world cohorts of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations.MethodsPatients with advanced NSCLC (N = 612) with common EGFR mutations receiving first-line gefitinib/erlotinib and afatinib were grouped and propensity-score matched. Progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS) and secondary T790M mutations were analyzed.ResultsThe gefitinib/erlotinib and afatinib groups each contained 206 patients after matching. Compared with gefitinib/erlotinib, patients receiving afatinib achieved longer median PFS (16.3 versus 14.2 months; log-rank test p = 0.020) and had a lower risk of progression [hazard ratio (HR) 0.73 (95% confidence interval (CI), 0.57-0.94); p = 0.017]. Median OS (37.3 versus 34.2 months; log-rank test p = 0.500) and reduction in risk of death [HR 0.89 (95% CI, 0.65-1.23); p = 0.476] did not differ significantly between groups. T790M positivity was significantly higher in the gefitinib/erlotinib than afatinib group (70.9% versus 44.6%, p < 0.001). Multivariate analysis demonstrated that afatinib was independently associated with lower T790M positivity [odds ratio (OR) 0.27 (95% CI, 0.14-0.53); p < 0.001], whereas ⩾12 months PFS after EGFR-TKI treatment [OR 3.00 (95% CI, 1.56-5.98); p = 0.001] and brain metastasis [OR 2.12 (95% CI, 1.08-4.26); p = 0.030] were associated with higher T790M positivity. Sequential third-generation EGFR-TKI treatment was administered to 63 patients, in whom median OS after the second-third-generation and first-third-generation EGFR-TKI sequences were 38.8 and 29.1 months, respectively.ConclusionCompared with gefitinib/erlotinib, afatinib had a higher treatment efficacy and a lower secondary T790M positivity in a large, real-world cohort of Asian patients with EGFR-mutated NSCLC.
