It remains unknown what is the optimal front-line choice for advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) fusion.
We conducted a systematic review and network meta-analysis of randomized phase III clinical trials comparing two or more treatments as the front-line setting for patients with advanced ALK-positive NSCLC.
Nine phase III randomized clinical trials with 2367 patients were included. As to efficacy, lorlatinib had the most favorable progression-free survival [PFS; surface under the cumulative ranking curve (SUCRA) = 98.4%] in the first-line setting, with noticeable outcome benefits chemotherapy [hazard ratio (HR): 0.12; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.08-0.19], crizotinib (HR: 0.28; 95% CI: 0.19-0.41), ceritinib (HR: 0.22; 95% CI: 0.13-0.37), and brigatinib (HR: 0.58; 95% CI: 0.35-0.96), as well as beneficial trends when compared with alectinib (HR: 0.66; 95% CI: 0.41-1.04) and ensartinib (HR: 0.62; 95% CI: 0.36-1.08). Meanwhile, alectinib showed the optimal overall survival (OS; SUCRA = 91.2%), with significant improvements over chemotherapy (HR: 0.47; 95% CI: 0.30-0.72) and crizotinib (HR: 0.58; 95% CI: 0.41-0.82). Similarly, brigatinib also displayed prolonged OS compared with crizotinib after adjustment for crossover by the marginal structural model (HR: 0.54; 95% CI: 0.31-0.92). In terms of safety, alectinib had the fewest grade 3-5 adverse events (SUCRA = 98.9%), with marked advantages crizotinib [odds ratio (OR): 0.67; 95% CI: 0.46-0.97], ceritinib (OR: 0.21; 95% CI: 0.10-0.43), brigatinib (OR: 0.37; 95% CI: 0.20-0.69), ensartinib (OR: 0.48; 95% CI: 0.27-0.89), and lorlatinib (OR: 0.30; 95% CI: 0.16-0.54).
Lorlatinib may have advantageous PFS compared with other agents but a greater risk of severe toxicity. Second-generation inhibitors, including alectinib, brigatinib, and ensartinib, provide major efficacy with less toxicity and remain appropriate regimens in the front-line setting.
对于间变性淋巴瘤激酶(ALK)融合的晚期非小细胞肺癌(NSCLC),最佳一线治疗选择仍不明确。
我们对随机III期临床试验进行了系统评价和网状Meta分析,比较了两种或更多种治疗作为晚期ALK阳性NSCLC患者的一线治疗方案。
纳入了9项III期随机临床试验,共2367例患者。在疗效方面,洛拉替尼在一线治疗中具有最有利的无进展生存期[PFS;累积排名曲线下面积(SUCRA)=98.4%],与化疗[风险比(HR):0.12;95%置信区间(CI):0.08 - 0.19]、克唑替尼(HR:0.28;95%CI:0.19 - 0.41)、色瑞替尼(HR:0.22;95%CI:0.13 - 0.37)和布加替尼(HR:0.58;95%CI:0.35 - 0.96)相比有显著的疗效优势,与阿来替尼(HR:0.66;95%CI:0.41 - 1.04)和恩沙替尼(HR:0.62;95%CI:0.36 - 1.08)相比也有有利趋势。同时,阿来替尼显示出最佳的总生存期(OS;SUCRA = 91.2%),与化疗(HR:0.47;95%CI:0.30 - 0.72)和克唑替尼(HR:0.58;95%CI:0.41 - 0.82)相比有显著改善。同样,在通过边际结构模型调整交叉后,布加替尼与克唑替尼相比也显示出OS延长(HR:0.54;95%CI:0.31 - 0.92)。在安全性方面,阿来替尼发生3 - 5级不良事件最少(SUCRA = 98.9%),与克唑替尼[优势比(OR):0.67;95%CI:0.46 - 0.97]、色瑞替尼(OR:0.21;95%CI:0.10 - 0.43)、布加替尼(OR:0.37;95%CI:0.20 - 0.69)、恩沙替尼(OR:0.48;95%CI:0.27 - 0.89)和洛拉替尼(OR:0.30;95%CI:0.16 - 0.54)相比有明显优势。
与其他药物相比,洛拉替尼可能具有有利的PFS,但严重毒性风险更高。包括阿来替尼、布加替尼和恩沙替尼在内的第二代抑制剂疗效显著且毒性较小,仍是一线治疗的合适方案。
