BACKGROUND: Studies indicated that afatinib combined with angiogenesis inhibitor may achieve promising efficacy in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations. METHODS: This is a multicenter, Phase II trial to explore the efficacy and safety of afatinib plus bevacizumab at first-line setting for EGFR-mutant NSCLC patients. The primary end point was progression-free survival (PFS). The secondary end point included objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR) and safety. RESULTS: Between July 11, 2020 and November 11, 2021, 54 treatment-naïve NSCLC patients were enrolled in the afatinib plus bevacizumab combination cohort. Meanwhile, 81 NSCLC patients with EGFR mutations treated with first-line afatinib monotherapy were retrospectively collected. The median follow-up time was 26.6 months. No significant difference in PFS was observed between the afatinib plus bevacizumab combination cohort and the afatinib monotherapy cohort (14.5 vs. 12.2 months, HR 0.87, p = 0.15), confirmed by propensity score matching (PSM) analysis. Patients with pleural metastasis (HR 0.56, 95% CI: 0.32-0.98, p < 0.05) and uncommon EGFR mutations (HR 0.61, 95% CI: 0.25-1.47, p = 0.05) experienced longer PFS in the combination cohort. ORR in the combination cohort is more favorable than in the afatinib monotherapy cohort (77.8% vs. 42.0%, p < 0.05). Diarrhea was the most common treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs). 11.1% (6/54) patients had grade ≥ 3 TRAEs when treated with afatinib plus bevacizumab. CONCLUSION: Afatinib combined with bevacizumab is well tolerated with moderate efficacy among patients with NSCLC, which might be a prospective strategy for patients with uncommon EGFR mutations and pleural metastasis.

背景:研究表明,阿法替尼联合血管生成抑制剂在表皮生长因子受体(EGFR)突变的非小细胞肺癌(NSCLC)患者中可能取得有前景的疗效。 方法:这是一项多中心II期试验,旨在探索阿法替尼联合贝伐单抗一线治疗EGFR突变NSCLC患者的疗效和安全性。主要终点是无进展生存期(PFS)。次要终点包括客观缓解率(ORR)、疾病控制率(DCR)和安全性。 结果:在2020年7月11日至2021年11月11日期间,54例初治NSCLC患者入组阿法替尼联合贝伐单抗治疗组。同时,回顾性收集81例接受一线阿法替尼单药治疗的EGFR突变NSCLC患者。中位随访时间为26.6个月。倾向评分匹配(PSM)分析证实,阿法替尼联合贝伐单抗治疗组与阿法替尼单药治疗组的PFS无显著差异(14.5个月对12.2个月,HR 0.87,p = 0.15)。有胸膜转移的患者(HR 0.56,95%CI:0.32 - 0.98,p < 0.05)和罕见EGFR突变的患者(HR 0.61,95%CI:0.25 - 1.47,p = 0.05)在联合治疗组中PFS更长。联合治疗组的ORR优于阿法替尼单药治疗组(77.8%对42.0%,p < 0.05)。腹泻是最常见的治疗相关不良事件(TRAEs)。11.1%(6/54)的患者在接受阿法替尼联合贝伐单抗治疗时发生≥3级TRAEs。 结论:阿法替尼联合贝伐单抗在NSCLC患者中耐受性良好,疗效中等,这可能是罕见EGFR突变和胸膜转移患者的一种前瞻性策略。 试验注册:www.chictr.org.cn。
