Afatinib is an oral irreversible ErbB family blocker that targets epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR/ErbB1), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2/ErbB2), and HER4 (ErbB4) and is approved for the first-line treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with certain sensitizing EGFR mutations. As anti-HER2 therapies have been associated with cardiac dysfunction, we report cardiac safety data for afatinib.
Cardiac data were analyzed from phase III trials of afatinib 40 mg in treatment-naive patients with EGFR mutation-positive NSCLC (LUX-Lung 3 [LL3]; n = 229 afatinib, n = 111 chemotherapy) and afatinib 50 mg in EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor-pretreated NSCLC patients (LUX-Lung 1 [LL1]; n = 390 afatinib, n = 195 placebo). Additional pooled data from 49 trials (n = 3865 afatinib-treated patients) is reported. Cardiac failure adverse events (CF-AEs), including symptomatic cardiac failure and depressed left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), were analyzed.
Time at risk-adjusted CF-AE rates (events/100 patient-years) were similar for afatinib versus placebo in LL1 (2.40 vs 2.23) and versus chemotherapy in LL3 (2.28 vs 2.92); the pooled afatinib CF-AE rate (2.88) was consistent with that for both trials. The frequency of clinically significant LVEF reductions was higher for chemotherapy in LL3 (2/15 [13.3 %], afatinib 13/208 [6.3 %]; p = 0.267) and similar to placebo in LL1 (5/122 [4.1 %], afatinib 14/304 [4.6 %]; p = 1.000).
Afatinib was not associated with cardiac failure or LVEF reductions in the afatinib clinical trial program.
阿法替尼是一种口服不可逆的表皮生长因子受体（EGFR）家族阻滞剂，可作用于表皮生长因子受体（EGFR/ErbB1）、人表皮生长因子受体2（HER2/ErbB2）和HER4（ErbB4），已被批准用于一线治疗具有特定敏感EGFR突变的晚期非小细胞肺癌（NSCLC）。由于抗HER2治疗与心脏功能障碍有关，我们报告了阿法替尼的心脏安全性数据。
分析了阿法替尼40mg用于初治EGFR突变阳性NSCLC患者的III期试验（LUX-Lung 3 [LL3]；阿法替尼组n = 229，化疗组n = 111）以及阿法替尼50mg用于EGFR酪氨酸激酶抑制剂预处理的NSCLC患者的III期试验（LUX-Lung 1 [LL1]；阿法替尼组n = 390，安慰剂组n = 195）中的心脏数据。还报告了来自49项试验（n = 3865例接受阿法替尼治疗的患者）的汇总数据。分析了心力衰竭不良事件（CF-AE），包括有症状的心力衰竭和左心室射血分数（LVEF）降低。
在LL1中，阿法替尼与安慰剂相比，风险调整后的CF-AE发生率（事件/100患者年）相似（2.40对2.23）；在LL3中，阿法替尼与化疗相比也相似（2.28对2.92）；阿法替尼汇总的CF-AE发生率（2.88）与两项试验一致。在LL3中，化疗导致具有临床意义的LVEF降低的频率更高（2/15 [13.3%]，阿法替尼组13/208 [6.3%]；p = 0.267），在LL1中与安慰剂相似（5/122 [4.1%]，阿法替尼组14/304 [4.6%]；p = 1.000）。
在阿法替尼临床试验项目中，阿法替尼与心力衰竭或LVEF降低无关。
