BACKGROUND
Several 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.
METHODS
Early-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.
RESULTS
Of 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).
CONCLUSIONS
This 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.
背景
多项随机对照试验表明，与化疗或安慰剂相比，辅助性表皮生长因子受体（EGFR）酪氨酸激酶抑制剂（TKIs）可延长EGFR突变的非小细胞肺癌（NSCLC）患者根治性切除术后的无病生存期（DFS）。我们旨在比较不同第一代EGFR-TKIs在真实世界中作为辅助治疗的有效性。
方法
从我们中心一个前瞻性维护的数据库中检索出2010年2月至2019年1月期间接受根治性切除并接受第一代EGFR-TKIs（吉非替尼、厄洛替尼、埃克替尼）作为辅助治疗的早期EGFR突变NSCLC患者。主要终点是II/III期（TNM第8版）患者的DFS，探索性终点是I期患者的DFS。敏感性分析基于倾向评分匹配（PSM）队列。还比较了不同TKIs之间的治疗失败模式。
结果
在588例符合条件的患者中，198例（33.7%）接受吉非替尼治疗，106例（17.9%）接受厄洛替尼治疗，284例（48.2%）接受埃克替尼治疗。吉非替尼、厄洛替尼和埃克替尼组II/III期患者的中位DFS分别为36.1个月（95%CI，23.9-49.4）、42.8个月（95%CI，29.6-97.8）和32.5个月（95%CI，23.9-49.4），差异无统计学意义（对数秩检验P=0.22）。接受不同TKIs治疗的I期患者的DFS也无显著差异（P=0.12）。PSM调整和对其他混杂因素进行调整的多变量分析显示了相似的结果。此外，不同EGFR-TKI组的治疗失败模式无显著差异，尤其是在脑转移（吉非替尼组为6.1%，厄洛替尼组为7.5%，埃克替尼组为3.9%）和骨转移（吉非替尼组为8.6%，厄洛替尼组为9.4%，埃克替尼组为7.0%）方面。
结论
这项首次也是最大规模的真实世界研究表明，吉非替尼、厄洛替尼和埃克替尼作为早期EGFR突变NSCLC患者的辅助治疗，显示出相当的临床疗效。
