Abstract 2853

Background

Osimertinib is the preferable therapeutic option for many epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)+ non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients failing other tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI), but implementation of EGFR TKI sequencing is often problematic.

Methods

We retrospectively studied the clinical course of EGFR+ NSCLC patients that received first-/second-generation TKI at our institutions and had their last follow-up after osimertinib approval (02/2016).

Results

A total of n = 283 EGFR+ NSCLC patients received erlotinib (45%), gefitinib (19%) and/or afatinib (36%) in the 1st-4th treatment lines with a median age of 66 years, a median ECOG performance status of 0 (137/266 patients with available data) and a predominance of female (183/283=65%) never-/light-smokers (177/283=63%). Median overall survival (OS) from treatment start was 32.7 months (95% confidence interval [CI] 28.1 – 37.3) with 2.2 treatment lines on average (standard deviation 1.4). EGFR T790M testing was performed for 139/203 (68%) patients after TKI failure, with a positive result in 77/139 (55%) and subsequent treatment with osimertinib in 50/77 (65%). Overall, 50/203 (25%) of patients received osimertinib, with a median OS of 44.9 (27.9 – 62.1) months, significantly longer than the 30.4 (20.6 – 40.3) months for patients with alternative or no subsequent therapies (logrank p = 0.053, Breslow p = 0.002). Among the 134 deceased patients with complete follow-up, 84 (63%) received additional systemic treatment (37% chemotherapy, 16% osimertinib, 8% only alternative EGFR inhibitors, 2% only immunotherapy), while 50/134 (37%) died without next-line therapy. For patients that subsequently received chemotherapy, median time to start of chemotherapy was 11.6 (8.9 – 14.3) months.

Conclusions

Sequential treatment with osimertinib after first- or second-generation EGFR inhibitors significantly prolongs OS, but in the real-world setting a considerable fraction of patients will not be able to benefit from that. Main obstacles in our cohort were lack of EGFR T790M testing (32% of total cases), T790M-negative progression (45% of tested cases), and rapid clinical deterioration without the chance of next-line therapy (about one-third of patients).
