Leptomeningeal metastases (LM) are devastating complications of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutated non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Although osimertinib, a third-generation EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), has better penetration into the central nervous system than first-generation EGFR-TKIs, data on the distinct activity of EGFR-TKIs in untreated advanced EGFR-mutated NSCLC with LM are lacking.
We retrospectively reviewed patients treated with EGFR-TKIs for TKI-untreated common EGFR-mutated NSCLC with LM between July 2002 and July 2021 at the National Cancer Center Hospital. The patients were divided into two groups: patients treated with osimertinib (Osi group) and those treated with gefitinib or erlotinib [first-generation (1G)-TKI group].
Of the 967 patients, 71 were eligible, including 29 in the Osi group and 42 in the 1G-TKI group. The median progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) in the Osi group were better than those in the 1G-TKI group (PFS: 16.9 months versus 8.6 months, P = 0.007, and OS: 26.6 months versus 20.0 months, P = 0.158). The LM-overall response rate (ORR) and LM-PFS were significantly better in the Osi group than in the 1G-TKI group (LM-ORR: 62.5% versus 25.7%, P = 0.007; LM-PFS: 23.4 months versus 12.1 months, P = 0.021). In the subgroup analysis of EGFR mutation status, LM-PFS for patients with exon 19 deletion was significantly longer in the Osi group than in the 1G-TKI group (32.7 months versus 13.4 months, P = 0.013), whereas those with L858R mutation in exon 21 did not differ between the two groups. In the multivariate analysis, osimertinib and exon 19 deletion were significant factors for better LM-PFS and OS.
Osimertinib can be more effective for untreated common EGFR-mutated NSCLC patients with LM, especially those with exon 19 deletion, compared to first-generation TKIs.
脑膜转移(LM)是表皮生长因子受体(EGFR)突变型非小细胞肺癌(NSCLC)的毁灭性并发症。尽管第三代 EGFR 酪氨酸激酶抑制剂(TKI)奥希替尼比第一代 EGFR-TKI 具有更好的中枢神经系统穿透力,但缺乏未经治疗的晚期 EGFR 突变型 NSCLC 伴 LM 患者中 EGFR-TKI 确切活性的数据。
我们回顾性分析了 2002 年 7 月至 2021 年 7 月在国家癌症中心医院接受 EGFR-TKI 治疗的未经 TKI 治疗的常见 EGFR 突变型 NSCLC 伴 LM 的患者。患者分为奥希替尼治疗组(Osi 组)和吉非替尼或厄洛替尼治疗组(第一代[1G]-TKI 组)。
967 例患者中,71 例符合条件,包括 Osi 组 29 例,1G-TKI 组 42 例。Osi 组的中位无进展生存期(PFS)和总生存期(OS)均优于 1G-TKI 组(PFS:16.9 个月比 8.6 个月,P=0.007,OS:26.6 个月比 20.0 个月,P=0.158)。Osi 组的 LM 总体缓解率(ORR)和 LM-PFS 明显优于 1G-TKI 组(LM-ORR:62.5%比 25.7%,P=0.007;LM-PFS:23.4 个月比 12.1 个月,P=0.021)。在 EGFR 突变状态的亚组分析中,Osi 组患者的 exon19 缺失 LM-PFS 明显长于 1G-TKI 组(32.7 个月比 13.4 个月,P=0.013),而 21 号外显子 L858R 突变患者两组之间无差异。多因素分析显示,奥希替尼和 exon19 缺失是 LM-PFS 和 OS 更好的显著因素。
与第一代 TKI 相比,奥希替尼可为未经治疗的常见 EGFR 突变型 NSCLC 伴 LM 患者,特别是伴有 exon19 缺失的患者,提供更有效的治疗。
