For epidermal growth factor receptor mutation-positive (EGFRm) non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) are the preferred first-line (1 L) treatment in the advanced setting. Osimertinib, a third-generation EGFR-TKI, received full approval in 2017 for second-line (2 L) treatment of EGFR T790M-positive NSCLC. The REFLECT study characterizes real-world treatment/testing patterns, attrition rates, and outcomes in patients with EGFRm advanced NSCLC treated with 1 L first-/second-generation (1G/2G) EGFR-TKIs before 1 L osimertinib approval.
Retrospective chart review (NCT04031898) of European/Israeli adults with EGFRm unresectable locally advanced/metastatic NSCLC, initiating 1 L 1G/2G EGFR-TKIs 01/01/15-30/06/18 (index date).
In 896 patients (median follow-up of 21.5 months), the most frequently initiated 1 L EGFR-TKI was afatinib (45%). Disease progression was reported in 81%, including 10% (86/896) who died at 1 L. By the end of study, most patients discontinued 1 L (85%), of whom 33% did not receive 2 L therapy. From index, median 1 L real-world progression-free survival was 13.0 (95% confidence interval (CI): 12.3-14.1) months; median overall survival (OS) was 26.2 (95% CI: 23.6-28.4) months. 71% of patients with 1 L progression were tested for T790M; 58% were positive. Of those with T790M, 95% received osimertinib in 2 L or later. Central nervous system (CNS) metastases were recorded in 22% at index, and 15% developed CNS metastases during treatment (median time from index 13.5 months). Median OS was 19.4 months (95% CI: 17.1-22.1) in patients with CNS metastases at index, 24.8 months (95% CIs not available) with CNS metastases diagnosed during treatment, and 30.3 months (95% CI: 27.1, 33.8) with no CNS metastases recorded.
REFLECT is a large real-world study describing treatment patterns prior to 1 L osimertinib availability for EGFRm advanced NSCLC. Given the attrition rates highlighted in the study and the impact of CNS progression on outcomes, offering a 1 L EGFR-TKI with CNS penetration may improve patient outcomes in this treatment setting.
对于表皮生长因子受体突变阳性(EGFRm)的非小细胞肺癌(NSCLC),EGFR酪氨酸激酶抑制剂(EGFR-TKIs)是晚期患者首选的一线治疗方法。奥希替尼是第三代EGFR-TKI,于2017年获得全面批准,用于EGFR T790M阳性NSCLC的二线治疗。REFLECT研究描述了在奥希替尼获批用于一线治疗之前,接受一线第一代/第二代(1G/2G)EGFR-TKIs治疗的EGFRm晚期NSCLC患者的真实世界治疗/检测模式、损耗率和治疗结果。
对欧洲/以色列患有EGFRm不可切除的局部晚期/转移性NSCLC的成年人进行回顾性图表审查(NCT04031898),这些患者于2015年1月1日至2018年6月30日开始接受一线1G/2G EGFR-TKIs治疗(索引日期)。
在896例患者中(中位随访21.5个月),最常开始使用的一线EGFR-TKI是阿法替尼(45%)。81%的患者报告疾病进展,其中10%(86/896)在一线治疗时死亡。到研究结束时,大多数患者停止了一线治疗(85%),其中33%未接受二线治疗。从索引日期开始,一线真实世界的无进展生存期中位数为13.0(95%置信区间(CI):12.3-14.1)个月;中位总生存期(OS)为26.2(95%CI:23.6-28.4)个月。71%一线治疗进展的患者接受了T790M检测;58%为阳性。在那些T790M阳性的患者中,95%在二线或更晚接受了奥希替尼治疗。索引日期时22%的患者有中枢神经系统(CNS)转移,治疗期间15%的患者出现CNS转移(从索引日期起的中位时间为13.5个月)。索引日期时有CNS转移的患者中位OS为19.4个月(95%CI:17.1-22.1),治疗期间诊断出有CNS转移的患者中位OS为24.8个月(95%CI未提供),未记录有CNS转移的患者中位OS为30.3个月(95%CI:27.1,33.8)。
REFLECT是一项大型真实世界研究,描述了在奥希替尼可用于EGFRm晚期NSCLC一线治疗之前的治疗模式。鉴于该研究中突出的损耗率以及CNS进展对治疗结果的影响,提供一种具有CNS穿透性的一线EGFR-TKI可能会改善这种治疗环境下患者的治疗结果。
