Predictive value of tumor genetic alteration profiling for chemotherapy and EGFR-TKI treatment in advanced NSCLC.

ABSTRACT: Previous studies have suggested that a variety of tumor driver genetic alterations affected the treatment efficacy of chemotherapy and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The present study aimed to investigate the association between the tumor genetic alteration landscape and the treatment outcome of first-line chemotherapy and EGFR-TKIs in advanced NSCLC. A total of 94 patients with advanced NSCLC were recruited. All patients received first-line chemotherapy and/or EGFR-TKIs (either first- or second-generation EGFR-TKI, or third-generation EGFR-TKI) alone or sequentially. Prior to chemotherapy and/or EGFR-TKI treatment, plasma, effusion and/or tumor tissues from the included patients were subjected to next-generation sequencing, targeting 59 genes. The results indicated that the positive genetic alteration status prior to first-line chemotherapy was associated with prolonged progression-free survival (PFS) time compared with the negative status [9.1 vs. 4.0 months; hazard ratio (HR)=6.68; 95% CI, 2.25-19.82; P=0.001). Furthermore, patients with EGFR activating mutation harboring concomitant alterations exhibited a shorter PFS (11.1 vs. 7.4 months; HR=2.14; 95% CI, 1.03-4.44; P=0.04) and overall survival (OS) time [not reached (NR) vs. 32.8 months; HR=4.30; 95% CI, 1.41-13.16; P=0.01] than those without concomitant alterations, with first- and second-generation EGFR-TKI treatment. Similarly, patients with T79M mutation harboring concomitant alterations exhibited a shorter PFS (15.6 vs. 3.6 months; HR=9.48; 95% CI, 2.29-39.28; P=0.002) and OS time (NR vs. 32.8 months; HR=4.85; 95% CI, 1.16-20.29; P=0.03) with osimertinib treatment. Taken together, the results demonstrated that positive genetic alteration status predicted greater efficacy of first-line chemotherapy, while concomitant genetic alterations were associated with poor treatment outcome for first- or second-generation EGFR-TKI and third-generation EGFR-TKI treatment.

Project description:ObjectiveThe aim of this meta-analysis was to evaluate efficacy and toxicity of epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI) in combination with chemotherapy (CT) compared to EGFR-TKI monotherapy as first-line treatment in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring activating EGFR mutation.MethodsA systematic literature search of randomized controlled trials using Cochrane Library, PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science, was performed up to Jan. 7th, 2020. Hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated as effect values for progress-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Risk ratio (RR) and Odds ratio (OR) were calculated as effect values for objective response rate (ORR) and toxicity, respectively.ResultsA total of eight randomized trials involving 1,349 advanced NSCLC patients with sensitive EGFR mutation were included in the meta-analysis. All patients in both groups received first-generation TKI as first-line treatment. The pooled HR of PFS and OS was 0.56 (95% CI = 0.50-0.64; P <0.00001) and 0.70 (95% CI = 0.54-0.90; P = 0.005), respectively. Subgroup analysis showed significantly higher OS advantages in patients receiving doublet CT (P = 0.02) and concurrent therapy (P = 0.002). The ORR in the EGFR-TKI plus CT group was significantly higher than in the EGFR-TKI monotherapy group (RR = 1.18, 95% CI = 1.10-1.26). The combination regimen showed a higher incidence of chemotherapy-induced toxicities. Subgroup analysis indicated that doublet chemotherapy rather than single-agent chemotherapy significantly increased incidence of grade 3 or higher leukopenia, neutropenia and anemia.ConclusionsCompared with EGFR-TKI monotherapy, the combination of first-generation EGFR-TKI and CT, especially when applying concurrent delivery of platinum-based doublet chemotherapeutic drugs, significantly improve ORR and prolong PFS and OS in first-line treatment for advanced EGFR-mutated NSCLC. Although increasing incidence of chemotherapy-induced toxicities occurs in the combination group, it is well tolerated and clinically manageable.

Project description:Background HER2 (or ERBB2) amplification is an important mechanism for acquired resistance to EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI). The benefits of HER2-targeted therapy have been limited. Herein, we investigated the molecular and clinical patterns of HER2 amplification in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients during progression on EGFR-TKIs and the potential of combining EGFR-TKI and pyrotinib to overcome resistance. Methods In this study, 1,637 NSCLC cases from Geneseeq after progression of EGFR-TKIs were screened and analyzed by next generation sequencing (NGS), in which 48 patients with HER2 amplification were eligible and enrolled. A total of 403 patients from Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center (SYSUCC) were screened and five patients with concomitant EGFR mutations and HER2 amplification were retrospectively collected to assess the effect of afatinib or combination of EGFR-TKI and pyrotinib. Results In the 48 patients from the Geneseeq cohort, 27 (56.2%) patients suffered from resistance of 1st/2nd generation EGFR-TKI, and 21 (43.8%) patients from 3rd generation. As for the five patients forming the SYSUCC cohort, three patients were treated with afatinib, one achieved partial response (PR) with progression-free survival (PFS) of 6 months and two quickly developed disease progression. Two patients were treated with EGFR-TKIs plus pyrotinib, one receiving gefitinib plus pyrotinib achieved PR with PFS of 8 months and benefited from osimertinib plus pyrotinib for 3 months till data-off; one receiving osimertinib plus pyrotinib achieved SD for 4 months till data-off. The most common co-occurring alteration was TP53 (91.7%) in the mutation profile of the 48 patients from the Geneseeq cohort, and four patients had TP53 co-mutations of the five patients from the SYSUCC cohort. Conclusion In this study, we detected 7% HER2 amplification present in EGFR-TKIs resistance. Patients with concomitant EGFR mutation and HER2 amplification may derive clinical benefit from therapies that target both EGFR and HER2.
