BACKGROUND/AIM: The association between tumor PD-L1 expression and the rate of acquisition of the T790M mutation during treatment with first-/second-generation epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) is a matter of study. This retrospective study was conducted to evaluate the association of tumor PD-L1 expression with the time on treatment under EGFR-TKIs in patients with EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), treated with first-/second-generation EGFR-TKIs.
We conducted a retrospective review of the medical charts of patients with EGFR-mutant NSCLC treated with first- /second-generation EGFR-TKIs. Time on treatment with EGFR-TKIs was defined as the sum of progression-free survival period (PFS) from the start of treatment with first- /second-generation EGFR-TKIs and the PFS from the start of osimertinib treatment after acquisition of the T790M mutation. Tumor PD-L1 expression was evaluated using the 22C3 antibody.
Data of a total of 49 patients were analyzed, including 20 patients with negative tumor PD-L1 expression (tumor proportion score <1%) and 29 patients with positive tumor PD-L1 expression (tumor proportion score ≥1%). In the negative tumor PD-L1 expression group, the T790M mutation was detected in 12 (75%) of the 16 patients. In the positive tumor PD-L1 expression group, the T790M mutation was detected 6 (31.6%) out of the 19 patients in whom it was tested. The median (95% confidence interval) time on treatment with EGFR-TKIs was 21.7 (12.9-24.8) months and 12.3 (5.6-22.2) months in the negative and positive tumor PD-L1 expression groups, respectively. Analysis using a Cox proportional hazards model identified performance status and presence/absence of tumor PD-L1 expression as significantly associated with the time on treatment with EGFR-TKIs.
EGFR-mutant NSCLC patients with negative tumor PD-L1 expression showed a higher rate of acquisition of the T790M mutation and implementation rate of osimertinib therapy, leading to a longer time on treatment with EGFR-TKI.
背景/目的:肿瘤程序性死亡受体配体1(PD-L1)表达与第一代/第二代表皮生长因子受体酪氨酸激酶抑制剂(EGFR-TKIs)治疗期间T790M突变获得率之间的关联是一个研究课题。本回顾性研究旨在评估在接受第一代/第二代EGFR-TKIs治疗的表皮生长因子受体(EGFR)突变的非小细胞肺癌(NSCLC)患者中,肿瘤PD-L1表达与EGFR-TKIs治疗时间的关联。
我们对接受第一代/第二代EGFR-TKIs治疗的EGFR突变NSCLC患者的病历进行了回顾性分析。EGFR-TKIs治疗时间定义为从第一代/第二代EGFR-TKIs治疗开始的无进展生存期(PFS)与T790M突变获得后从奥希替尼治疗开始的PFS之和。使用22C3抗体评估肿瘤PD-L1表达。
共分析了49例患者的数据,包括20例肿瘤PD-L1表达阴性(肿瘤比例评分<1%)的患者和29例肿瘤PD-L1表达阳性(肿瘤比例评分≥1%)的患者。在肿瘤PD-L1表达阴性组中,16例患者中有12例(75%)检测到T790M突变。在肿瘤PD-L1表达阳性组中,19例接受检测的患者中有6例(31.6%)检测到T790M突变。肿瘤PD-L1表达阴性组和阳性组的EGFR-TKIs治疗中位(95%置信区间)时间分别为21.7(12.9 - 24.8)个月和12.3(5.6 - 22.2)个月。使用Cox比例风险模型分析确定,体能状态和肿瘤PD-L1表达的有无与EGFR-TKIs治疗时间显著相关。
肿瘤PD-L1表达阴性的EGFR突变NSCLC患者显示出更高的T790M突变获得率和奥希替尼治疗实施率,从而导致EGFR-TKI治疗时间更长。
