Real-world clinical experience with osimertinib in advanced EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer
摘要
We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of osimertinib as a first-line therapy in patients with advanced EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer (aNSCLC) in a Spanish real-world setting.
MethodsThis retrospective observational study was conducted at eight centers. The primary objective was to assess the effect of osimertinib on progression-free survival (PFS). The secondary objective was to evaluate the objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), overall survival (OS), and drug toxicity.
ResultsA total of 181 patients with aNSCLC were included in this study. The median PFS and OS were 15.8 (95% CI 12.5–19.0) and 29.3 (95% CI 21.1–37.5) months, respectively. An Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status (ECOG PS) score ≥ 2 was associated with shorter PFS, whereas the presence of common EGFR mutations (exon 19 deletion and exon 21 L858R) was associated with longer PFS. Similarly, the age ≥ 70 years and an ECOG PS ≥ 2 were associated with a shorter OS, whereas the exon 19 deletion was associated with a longer OS. In addition, the overall ORR was 71.3% (CI 95% 64.7–77.9%), and the DCR was 87.8% (CI 95% 83.1–92.6%), with exon 19 deletion associated with a greater treatment response. Finally, 77% of the patients reported mild adverse reactions. Severe toxicity was not observed.
ConclusionsThis study supports the effectiveness and tolerable safety profile of osimertinib as first-line treatment for patients with aNSCLC in a real-world setting. Exon 19 deletion appears to be a strong predictor of greater effectiveness in patients with aNSCLC.
