B-cell lymphoma 2-like 11 (BCL-2-like 11, BCL2L11, also known as BIM) deletion polymorphism (BIM-del) has been associated with resistance to first-generation epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs), and is a poor prognostic factor for EGFR-mutant non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. Nevertheless, the impact of BIM-del in advanced NSCLC patients treated with the third-generation EGFR-TKI osimertinib remains undetermined. This study aims to evaluate the relationship between BIM-del and therapeutic efficacy of osimertinib in pretreated NSCLC patients.
Patients subjected to EGFR T790 M detection and prior osimertinib treatment between December 2015 and December 2019 in our hospital were enrolled in this study. Peripheral blood samples from these patients were collected to detect BIM-del by polymerase chain reaction. Cox proportional hazards models were used to analyze the clinical outcomes of patients with and without BIM-del.
In total, 152 Chinese Han NSCLC patients-including 143 T790M-positive and nine T790M-negative patients-were enrolled. BIM-del was detected in only 17.5 % of T790M-positive patients (25/143). The majority of patients were aged <65 years (81.8 %, 117/143), were female (58.7 %, 84/143), were non-smokers (82.5 %, 118/143), had Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS) 0-1 (88.8 %, 129/143), and exhibited metastases in the central nervous system (CNS) (54.5 %, 78/143). There were no associations between the BIM-del and clinical characteristics (including age, sex, histology, smoking status, stage, ECOG PS score, and CNS metastases). Patients with BIM-del had a poorer objective response rate than those without (28.0 % versus 52.5 %, p = 0.026). Besides, BIM-del was associated with a significantly shorter progression-free survival (PFS) and a moderately shorter overall survival (OS) (8.3 versus 10.5 months, p = 0.031 and 15.9 versus 25.2 months, p = 0.1, respectively). Multivariate analysis indicated that BIM-del was an independent prognostic factor for PFS but not for OS in EGFR T790 M NSCLC patients.
BIM-del is associated with poor clinical responses and outcomes, and might be a negative predictive and prognostic biomarker in EGFR T790 M NSCLC patients with osimertinib treatment.
B 细胞淋巴瘤 2 样 11(BCL-2-like 11,BCL2L11,也称为 BIM)缺失多态性(BIM-del)与第一代表皮生长因子受体酪氨酸激酶抑制剂(EGFR-TKIs)的耐药性相关,并且是 EGFR 突变型非小细胞肺癌(NSCLC)患者的不良预后因素。然而,第三代 EGFR-TKI 奥希替尼治疗的晚期 NSCLC 患者中 BIM-del 的影响仍不确定。本研究旨在评估 BIM-del 与预处理 NSCLC 患者奥希替尼治疗疗效之间的关系。
本研究纳入了 2015 年 12 月至 2019 年 12 月在我院进行 EGFR T790M 检测和奥希替尼治疗的 NSCLC 患者。收集这些患者的外周血样本,通过聚合酶链反应检测 BIM-del。使用 Cox 比例风险模型分析有和无 BIM-del 的患者的临床结局。
本研究共纳入了 152 例中国汉族 NSCLC 患者,包括 143 例 T790M 阳性和 9 例 T790M 阴性患者。仅在 17.5%(25/143)的 T790M 阳性患者中检测到 BIM-del。大多数患者年龄<65 岁(81.8%,117/143),女性(58.7%,84/143),非吸烟者(82.5%,118/143),东部肿瘤协作组(ECOG)表现状态(PS)0-1(88.8%,129/143),并发生中枢神经系统(CNS)转移(54.5%,78/143)。BIM-del 与临床特征(包括年龄、性别、组织学、吸烟状况、分期、ECOG PS 评分和 CNS 转移)之间无关联。有 BIM-del 的患者客观缓解率低于无 BIM-del 的患者(28.0%与 52.5%,p=0.026)。此外,BIM-del 与较短的无进展生存期(PFS)和较短的总生存期(OS)显著相关(8.3 个月与 10.5 个月,p=0.031 和 15.9 个月与 25.2 个月,p=0.1)。多变量分析表明,BIM-del 是 EGFR T790M NSCLC 患者 PFS 的独立预后因素,但不是 OS 的独立预后因素。
BIM-del 与较差的临床反应和结局相关,并且可能是 EGFR T790M NSCLC 患者接受奥希替尼治疗的阴性预测和预后生物标志物。
