BACKGROUND: Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-driven non-small cell lung cancer (eLC) is a leading cause of death. The FLAURA study showed that upfront osimertinib (U-OSI) led to better overall survival (OS) than gefitinib or erlotinib, regardless of T790M status in advanced disease. However, if sequenced optimally, sequential OSI (S-OSI) in T790M-positive patients after first- or second-generation EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (F-S-EGFR-TKI) should theoretically lead to better OS than U-OSI. OBJECTIVE: To identify the best sequencing strategy in this group of patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A multicentre retrospective study was conducted on treatment-naive eLC patients who had received an F-S- EGFR-TKI between 1 January 2016 and 31 December 2020 in three tertiary NHS hospitals in the UK. Compliance to national recommendation of T790M testing was analysed. Survival outcomes of T790M testing and S-OSI were estimated with the Kaplan-Meier and Cox Proportional Hazard models. RESULTS: In 84/122 evaluable patients, after F-S-EGFR-TKI, only 50% of the patients were offered a T790M biopsy, owing to rapid progression and reduced fitness. Of which, 59.5% of the patients tested positive and had S-OSI. Median OS for the T790M-tested cohort, regardless of positivity and S-OSI, was 54.0 months vs 8.9 months in those not tested (P = < 0.001). Median OS of S-OSI in T790M-positive patients was 64.0 months vs 34.9 months in the T790M-negative cohort (P < 0.0001). On multivariable analysis, S-OSI was associated with better OS (HR 1.841; 95% CI 1.052-3.221; P = 0.0325), whereas performance status (HR 2. 256; 95% CI 1.151-4.422, P = 0.0178), presence of baseline intracranial disease (HR 2 .022; 95% CI 1.144-3.575, P = 0. 0115), the male sex (HR 2.265; 95% CI 1.302-3.939; P = 0.0038) and non-exon 19 deletion mutations (HR 1.610; 95% CI 1.112-2.331, P = 0.0116) were associated with a higher risk of death. CONCLUSIONS: High performance status and intracranial disease should be indications for U-OSI for a higher chance of response. For fitter patients, F-S-EGFR-TKI followed by T790M biopsy +/- S-OSI appears to confer better-than-expected OS in the entire cohort in the real-world setting, regardless of T790M positivity. Given the clinical benefit and potential cost-effectiveness of this approach, S-OSI should be considered a favourable option in this group of patients, especially in resource-deprived settings.
背景:表皮生长因子受体(EGFR)驱动的非小细胞肺癌(eLC)是主要的死亡原因。FLAURA研究表明,在晚期疾病中,一线使用奥希替尼(U-OSI)比吉非替尼或厄洛替尼能带来更好的总生存期(OS),无论T790M状态如何。然而,如果进行最佳排序,在第一代或第二代EGFR酪氨酸激酶抑制剂(F-S-EGFR-TKI)治疗后,T790M阳性患者序贯使用奥希替尼(S-OSI)理论上应比U-OSI带来更好的总生存期。 目的:确定该组患者的最佳排序策略。 患者与方法:对2016年1月1日至2020年12月31日期间在英国三家NHS三级医院接受F-S-EGFR-TKI治疗的初治eLC患者进行了一项多中心回顾性研究。分析了T790M检测对国家推荐的依从性。采用Kaplan-Meier法和Cox比例风险模型评估T790M检测和S-OSI的生存结局。 结果:在84/122例可评估患者中,F-S-EGFR-TKI治疗后,由于疾病快速进展和身体状况下降,仅50%的患者接受了T790M活检。其中,59.5%的患者检测呈阳性并接受了S-OSI。T790M检测队列的中位总生存期,无论阳性与否及是否接受S-OSI,为54.0个月,而未检测患者为8.9个月(P = < 0.001)。T790M阳性患者S-OSI的中位总生存期为64.0个月,而T790M阴性队列中为34.9个月(P < 0.0001)。多变量分析显示,S-OSI与更好的总生存期相关(HR 1.841;95% CI 1.052 - 3.221;P = 0.0325),而体能状态(HR 2.256;95% CI 1.151 - 4.422,P = 0.0178)、基线颅内疾病的存在(HR 2.022;95% CI 1.144 - 3.575,P = 0.0115)、男性(HR 2.265;95% CI 1.302 - 3.939;P = 0.0038)和非外显子19缺失突变(HR 1.610;95% CI 1.112 - 2.331,P = 0.0116)与更高的死亡风险相关。 结论:良好的体能状态和颅内疾病应作为U-OSI的指征,以提高缓解几率。对于身体状况较好的患者,在现实环境中,F-S-EGFR-TKI后进行T790M活检±S-OSI在整个队列中似乎能带来优于预期的总生存期,无论T790M是否阳性。鉴于这种方法的临床益处和潜在的成本效益,S-OSI应被视为该组患者的一个有利选择,尤其是在资源匮乏的环境中。
