Project description:BackgroundADJUVANT-CTONG1104 reported a favorable survival outcome from adjuvant gefitinib treatment over chemotherapy in EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. However, heterogeneous benefit from EGFR-TKIs and chemotherapy demands further biomarker exploration for patient selection. Previously, we identified certain TCR sequences with predictive value for adjuvant therapies from the CTONG1104 trial and found a relationship between the TCR repertoire and genetic variations. It remains unknown which TCR sequences could further enhance the prediction for only adjuvant EGFR-TKI.MethodsIn this study, 57 tumor and 12 tumor-adjacent samples, respectively, from gefitinib-treated patients in the CTONG1104 were collected for TCR β gene sequencing. We attempted to constitute a predictive model for prognosis and favorable adjuvant EGFR-TKI outcome for patients with early-stage NSCLC and EGFR mutations.ResultsThe TCR rearrangements demonstrated significant prediction for overall survival (OS). A combined model of high frequent Vβ7-3Jβ2-5 and Vβ24-1Jβ2-1 with lower frequent Vβ5-6Jβ2-7 and Vβ28Jβ2-2 constituted the best value for predicting OS (P < 0.001; Hazard Ratio [HR] = 9.65, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.27 to 41.12) or DFS (P = 0.02; HR = 2.61, 95% CI: 1.13 to 6.03). In Cox regression analyses, when multiple clinical data were included, the risk score remained an independent prognostic predictor for OS (P = 0.003; HR = 9.49; 95% CI: 2.21 to 40.92) and DFS (P = 0.015; HR = 3.13; 95% CI: 1.25 to 7.87).ConclusionsIn this study, a predictive model was constituted with specific TCR sequences for prognosis prediction and gefitinib benefit in the ADJUVANT-CTONG1104 trial. We provide a potential immune biomarker for EGFR-mutant NSCLC patients who might benefit from an adjuvant EGFR-TKI.

Project description:BackgroundSeveral randomized controlled trials have suggested that adjuvant epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) were associated with prolonged disease-free survival (DFS) in EGFR-mutated NSCLC patients after radical resection, comparing with chemotherapy or placebo. We aimed to compare the effectiveness of different first-generation EGFR-TKIs as adjuvant treatment in real-world setting.MethodsEarly-stage EGFR mutated NSCLC patients who underwent radical resection and treated with first-generation EGFR-TKIs (gefitinib, erlotinib, icotinib) as adjuvant therapy between Feb 2010 and Jan 2019 were retrieved from a prospectively-maintained database in our center. The primary endpoint was DFS in stage II/III (TNM 8th) patients with exploratory endpoint regarding DFS in stage I patients. Sensitivity analyses were based on propensity score matched (PSM) cohorts. Treatment failure patterns among different TKIs were also compared.ResultsOf 588 eligible patients, 198 patients (33.7%) received gefitinib, 106 patients (17.9%) received erlotinib, and 284 patients (48.2%) received icotinib. The median DFS of stage II/III patients in the gefitinib, erlotinib and icotinib group were 36.1 months (95% CI, 23.9-49.4), 42.8 months (95% CI, 29.6-97.8), and 32.5 months (95% CI, 23.9-49.4), respectively, with no significant difference (log-rank test P=0.22). There was also no significant difference in DFS among stage I patients receiving different TKIs (P=0.12). PSM adjustments and multivariate analyses adjusting for other confounders revealed similar results. In addition, there were no significant differences in treatment failure pattens in different EGFR-TKI arms, especially in terms of brain metastases (6.1% in gefitinb, 7.5% in erlotinib, 3.9% in icotinib) and bone metastases (8.6% in gefitinb, 9.4% in erlotinib, 7.0% in icotinib).ConclusionsThis first and largest real-world study showed that gefitinib, erlotinib, and icotinib demonstrated comparable clinical effectiveness as adjuvant therapy for patients with early-stage EGFR mutated NSCLC.

Project description:BackgroundCisplatin-based chemotherapy was previously considered as the standard adjuvant therapy for improved overall survival (OS) in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) after surgery. However, the benefit was limited due to high risks of recurrence and adverse events. In the present study, the efficacy of adjuvant epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) for EGFR-mutant patients after surgery was investigated using the latest updated data.MethodsThis meta-analysis included a comprehensive range of relevant studies identified from database searches. Disease-free survival (DFS) and OS with hazard ratios (HRs) were calculated using random-effect or fixed-effect models. Subgroup analysis was also performed.ResultsA total of seven randomized clinical trials were included in the meta-analysis and involved 1,283 NSCLC patients harboring EGFR mutations. In resected EGFR-mutant NSCLC patients, adjuvant EGFR-TKIs were significantly better than chemotherapy in terms of DFS (HR: 0.41; 95%CI: 0.24-0.70, P = 0.001), without showing any benefit in OS (HR: 0.72; 95%CI: 0.37-1.41, P = 0.336). No significant difference in DFS was observed between patients with EGFR exon 19 deletion and those with L858R mutation. Resected EGFR-mutant NSCLC patients treated with osimertinib experienced improved DFS and a lower risk of brain recurrence than those treated with gefitinib or erlotinib. Adjuvant EGFR-TKIs reduced the risk of bone and lung relapse, without decreasing the risk of local recurrence and liver relapse.ConclusionThis meta-analysis shows that adjuvant EGFR-TKI therapy could significantly prolong DFS in patients with resected EGFR-mutant NSCLC. Treatment with osimertinib showed improved DFS with a lower risk of brain recurrence than treatment with gefitinib or erlotinib for resected disease.

Project description:BackgroundEpidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) are the established first-line treatment for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations, but survival advantages in advanced-stage cases remain modest and show interpatient variability. This study seeks to delineate real-world survival outcomes in stage IV EGFR-mutant NSCLC patients undergoing treatment with EGFR-TKIs and to identify independent prognostic factors impacting overall survival (OS). The findings are expected to be a reference for clinicians in managing advanced lung cancer patients.MethodsClinical characteristics from advanced EGFR-mutant NSCLC patients who received EGFR-TKIs were retrospectively analyzed to investigate the association between clinical factors and overall survival.ResultsThe median OS was 40.60 months (95% confidence interval: 34.72-46.48 months), with expected 1-, 3-, and 5-year OS of 87.2%, 57.8%, and 34.0%, respectively. Patients exhibiting specific characteristics, such as being under 60 years old, having stage IVA disease, adenocarcinoma histology, no liver or brain metastases, negative for neuron-specific enolase (NSE), carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), cytokeratin fragment 19 (CYFRA 21 - 1), progastrin-releasing peptide (ProGRP), and those who received chemotherapy and radiotherapy exhibited significantly longer survival times compared to patients with the opposite characteristics (being 60 years or older, having stage IVB or IVC disease, non-adenocarcinoma histology, presence of liver or brain metastases, positive for CEA, NSE, ProGRP, CYFRA 21 - 1, and not receiving chemotherapy or radiotherapy) (P < 0.05). Cox univariate and multivariate analyses identified pathological type, liver metastasis, brain metastasis, NSE, CYFRA 21 - 1, EGFR-TKIs type, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy as independent prognostic factors for patients with stage IV NSCLC treated with EGFR-TKIs.ConclusionsPathological type, liver metastasis, brain metastasis, NSE, and CYFRA 21 - 1 were identified as independent risk factors for stage IV NSCLC patients treated with EGFR-TKIs, while chemotherapy and radiotherapy were determined to be independent protective factors. Taking icotinib or gefitinib, as opposed to osimertinib, was an independent risk factor for advanced NSCLC patients.

Project description:BackgroundThe role of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKIs) in improving the prognostic outcome of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cases harboring EGFR mutation following radical surgery is still controversial. This work focused on comparing EGFR-TKIs and adjuvant chemotherapy (ACT) or placebo in treating NSCLC cases, specifically on those with EGFR-mutant, being in the stage of IB-IIIA and possibly gained benefits from the above treatment after radical resection.MethodsThe Cochrane Library, MEDLINE, and Embase databases were searched to identify eligible clinical trials; two authors were responsible for screening the results. The primary outcomes were evaluated by disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) based on hazard ratios (HRs) and a relevant 95% confidence interval (CI).ResultsThe literature search yielded twelve eligible studies, including four retrospective cohort studies and eight randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that enrolled 1694 cases and were of acceptable quality. In patients receiving adjuvant EGFR-TKIs compared with ACT or placebo treatment, HR regarding DFS was 0.47 (95% CI: 0.40, 0.55), whereas the OS rate was 0.74 (95% CI: 0.58, 0.95). For patients who received adjuvant EGFR-TKIs in combination with conventional chemotherapy compared to chemotherapy, the efficiency was significantly enhanced, with the HR for DFS being 0.29 (95% CI: 0.15, 0.58) and that for OS being 0.51 (95% CI: 0.25, 1.04), separately.ConclusionFor NSCLC cases who had EGFR mutations and surgery, adjuvant EGFR-TKI combined with chemotherapy achieved superior effect over chemotherapy or placebo with reference to DFS and may prolong the OS up to some extent.

Project description:BackgroundResistance to epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) is inevitable in EGFR-mutant non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. A germline 2903 bp deletion polymorphism of Bcl-2-like protein 11 (BIM) causes reduced expression of proapoptotic BH3-only BIM protein and blocks TKI-induced apoptosis of tumor cells. Yet the association between the deletion polymorphism and response to EGFR-TKI treatment remains inconsistent among clinical observations. Thus, we performed the present meta-analysis.MethodsEligible studies were identified by searching PubMed, Embase, and ClinicalTrials.gov databases prior to March 31, 2021. Hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) and odds ratios (ORs) and 95% CIs of objective response rate (ORR) and disease control rate (DCR) were calculated by using a random effects model. Sensitivity, metaregression, and publication bias analyses were also performed.ResultsA total of 20 datasets (3003 EGFR-mutant NSCLC patients receiving EGFR-TKIs from 18 studies) were included. There were 475 (15.8%) patients having the 2903-bp intron deletion of BIM and 2528 (84.2%) wild-type patients. BIM deletion predicted significantly shorter PFS (HR = 1.35, 95% CI: 1.10-1.64, P = 0.003) and a tendency toward an unfavorable OS (HR = 1.22, 95% CI: 0.99-1.50, P = 0.068). Patients with deletion polymorphism had lower ORR (OR = 0.60, 95% CI: 0.42-0.85, P = 0.004) and DCR (OR = 0.59, 95% CI: 0.38-0.90, P = 0.014) compared with those without deletion.ConclusionBIM deletion polymorphism may confer resistance to EGFR-TKIs and can be used as a biomarker to predict treatment response to EGFR-TKIs in EGFR-mutant NSCLC patients from Asian populations.

Project description:Whether bisphosphonates could enhance the effect of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with EGFR mutation and bone metastases (BM) remains unknown. EGFR mutation status were collected from 1560 patients with NSCLC and BM. 356 NSCLC patients with EGFR mutation and BM were identified. Among them, 91 patients received EGFR-TKIs alone and 105 patients received EGFR-TKIs plus bisphosphonates as first-line therapy. Comparing to TKIs alone, EGFR-TKIs plus bisphosphonates had a statistically significant longer progression-free survival (PFS: 11.6 vs. 9.3 months; HR = 0.68, P = 0.009), while a similar overall survival (OS: 20.5 vs. 19.5 months; HR = 0.95, P = 0.743) in patients with EGFR-mutant NSCLC and BM. The incidence of skeletal-related events in combined group was numerically lower than that in EGFR-TKIs alone group (29.7% vs. 39.4%, P = 0.147). In multivariate analysis, EGFR mutation was found to be a significant independent prognostic factor for OS in NSCLC patients with BM (HR = 0.710, P = 0.021). In conclusion, EGFR mutation was the significant independent prognostic factor for OS and the addition of bisphosphonates to EGFR-TKIs could enhance the antitumor effect of EGFR-TKIs in patients with EGFR-mutant NSCLC and BM.

Project description:BackgroundRecent studies have demonstrated benefits from adjuvant tyrosine-kinase inhibitors (TKIs) compared with chemotherapy in non-small cell lung cancer. We launched a multi-center retrospective study to evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of adjuvant TKIs with or without chemotherapy in epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutant stage III-pN2 lung adenocarcinoma.MethodsTwo hundred and seventy-four consecutive cases with stage III-pN2 lung adenocarcinoma and complete resection have been investigated. Clinic-pathologic characteristics, adjuvant treatments, long-term survivals, and toxicities were documented. Risk factors of distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS), disease-free survival (DFS), and overall survival (OS) were evaluated.ResultsThere were 52 (19.0%) patients treated with adjuvant TKIs alone, 199 (72.6%) with adjuvant chemotherapy alone, and 23 (8.4%) with both. After a median follow-up time of 29 months, the two-year DMFS, DFS, and OS was 61.2%, 54.1%, and 91.2%, respectively. According to univariable analyses, the risk factors were lymphovascular invasion (p < 0.001), extranodal extension (p = 0.005), and adjuvant systemic therapy (p = 0.006) for DMFS, EGFR mutation type (p = 0.025), lymphovascular invasion (p = 0.013), extranodal extension (p = 0.004), and adjuvant systemic therapy (p < 0.001) for DFS, and EGFR mutation type (p < 0.001) for OS. Multivariable analyses indicated that the independent prognostic factors were adjuvant systemic therapy (TKIs vs. TKIs+chemotherapy, Harzard ratio (HR) = 0.40; p = 0.036; TKIs vs. chemotherapy, HR = 0.38; p = 0.004), lymphovascular invasion (yes vs. no, HR = 2.22; p = 0.001) for DMFS, and adjuvant systemic therapy (TKIs vs. TKIs+chemotherapy, HR = 0.42; p = 0.034; TKIs vs. chemotherapy, HR = 0.33; p < 0.001) for DFS. No significant difference was found in the incidence of Grade 3-4 toxicities between groups (p = 0.445).ConclusionsAdjuvant TKIs might be a beneficial choice compared with adjuvant chemotherapy or combination systemic treatments.

Project description:BackgroundEpidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) and EGFR-TKI combination treatments have become the standard first-line treatments for EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. However, the best option has yet to be determined. This study compares the efficacy and safety of various first-line EGFR-TKI monotherapies and combination treatments for advanced EGFR-mutated NSCLC.MethodsWe searched PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Clinical Trials databases, and several international conferences to identify randomized controlled trials reporting on first-line EGFR-TKI treatments for patients with advanced EGFR-mutated NSCLC. The study quality was assessed using the revised tool for risk of bias in randomized trials. The efficacy and safety outcomes of the included treatments were compared by network meta-analysis based on a frequentist approach.ResultsWe identified 26 trials (8,359 patients) investigating 14 treatment groups, including first, second, and third-generation EGFR-TKIs and their combination treatments. Osimertinib plus chemotherapy and lazertinib plus amivantamab showed the highest efficacy in improving progression-free survival. New third-generation EGFR-TKIs demonstrated comparable efficacy to osimertinib alone but did not surpass it. Subgroup analyses revealed slight variation in treatment efficacy based on mutation types and patient demographics. Combination treatments were associated with a higher incidence of adverse events.ConclusionThese results reveal that osimertinib plus chemotherapy and lazertinib plus amivantamab are superior first-line options for patients with advanced EGFR-mutated NSCLC. However, these combinations are associated with higher adverse event rates.
