BIM is a modulator of apoptosis that is triggered by EGFR-TKIs. This study evaluated the role of BIM deletion and its expression as predictor of EGFR-TKI treatment outcome.
The medical record of 185 EGFR-positive advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with/ without EGFR-TKI treatment between 9/2012 and 12/2014 were retrospectively reviewed. BIM deletion polymorphism and expression were tested by RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry, respectively. Survival outcomes in EGFR-TKI-treated patients were analyzed according to treatment sequence and EGFR mutation. The correlation between BIM deletion polymorphism, expression, response rate (as a function of EGFR-TKI treatment) and schedule was also explored.
EGFR-TKIs were administered to 139 (75.1%) of the 185 patients: as the first-line in 52 (37.4%) patients and as later-line treatment in 87 (62.6%) patients. Median overall survival (mOS) was significantly longer in EGFR-TKIs treated patients (28.9 vs. 7.4 months, P<0.001). Among L858R-mutated patients, median progression-free survival (mPFS) was significantly longer in first-line EGFR TKI treatment than a later-line (12.6 vs. 6.3 months, P=0.03). BIM deletion polymorphism and expression was detected in 20.2% and 52.7%, respectively. Patients without BIM deletion polymorphism had a significantly longer mOS when treated with a first-line than with a later-line EGFR-TKI (28.9 vs. 20.7 months, P= 0.04). Patients without BIM expression had a significantly longer mPFS (9.6 vs. 7.3 months, P=0.01) better mOS and response rate (RR).
BIM deletion polymorphism and expression may predict an EGFR-TKI response in patients with EGFR-positive during therapy.
BIM是一种由表皮生长因子受体酪氨酸激酶抑制剂(EGFR-TKIs)触发的细胞凋亡调节因子。本研究评估了BIM缺失及其表达作为EGFR-TKI治疗结果预测指标的作用。
回顾性分析了2012年9月至2014年12月期间185例接受或未接受EGFR-TKI治疗的EGFR阳性晚期非小细胞肺癌(NSCLC)患者的病历。分别采用逆转录聚合酶链反应(RT-PCR)和免疫组织化学检测BIM缺失多态性和表达情况。根据治疗顺序和EGFR突变情况分析EGFR-TKI治疗患者的生存结局。还探讨了BIM缺失多态性、表达、缓解率(作为EGFR-TKI治疗的函数)与治疗方案之间的相关性。
185例患者中有139例(75.1%)接受了EGFR-TKIs治疗:52例(37.4%)患者作为一线治疗,87例(62.6%)患者作为二线及后续治疗。接受EGFR-TKIs治疗的患者中位总生存期(mOS)显著更长(28.9个月对7.4个月,P<0.001)。在L858R突变患者中,一线EGFR-TKI治疗的中位无进展生存期(mPFS)显著长于二线及后续治疗(12.6个月对6.3个月,P=0.03)。BIM缺失多态性和表达的检测率分别为20.2%和52.7%。无BIM缺失多态性的患者接受一线EGFR-TKI治疗时的mOS显著长于二线及后续治疗(28.9个月对20.7个月,P=0.04)。无BIM表达的患者mPFS显著更长(9.6个月对7.3个月,P=0.01),总生存期和缓解率(RR)更好。
BIM缺失多态性和表达可能预测EGFR阳性患者在治疗期间对EGFR-TKI的反应。
