摘要

Background

The benefit of treatment with tyrosine kinase inhibitors targeting the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR-TKI) for lung adenocarcinoma (ADC), stratified by ethnicity, has not yet been fully elucidated.

Methods

We searched PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane databases for studies that investigated EGFR-TKI for lung ADC. We computed hazard ratios (HRs) or risk ratios (RRs) for binary endpoints, with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). We used DerSimonian and Laird random-effect models for all endpoints. Heterogeneity was assessed using I2 statistics. R, version 4.2.3, was used for statistical analyses.

Results

A total of 18 studies, comprising 4,497 patients with lung ADC randomized to TKIs or chemotherapy alone. TKIs significantly improved OS (HR 0.91; 95% CI 0.88–0.95), PFS (HR 0.60; 95% CI 0.38–0.97), and ORR (HR 0.34; 95% CI 0.25–0.48) in Asian patients, compared with the chemotherapy alone. In Caucasian patients, TKIs significantly improved PFS compared with chemotherapy alone (HR 0.34; 95% CI 0.25–0.48) and ORR(RR 2.35; 95% CI: 1.05–5.28). TKIs significantly reduced any adverse events of any grade in patients with mixed ethnicity (RR 0.86; 95% CI 0.76–0.98) and any adverse events of grade ≥ 3 in Caucasian patients (RR 0.67; 95% CI 0.51–0.89).

Conclusions

This is the first meta-analysis to reveal the ethnic influence on the outcomes of oncologic treatments for patients with lung ADC. In collaboration with in-depth molecular characterization, these data will allow the creation of a clinical–pathological predictive model to increase the magnitude of the expected benefit for patients from different ethnic groups.
