Abstract 2349
Background
Previous clinical trials demonstrated that alectinib (ALEC) produced fewer adverse events compared to crizotinib (CRZ). Data regarding adverse events (AE) in clinical practice, however, is limited. We reviewed ALK-rearranged NSCLC patients treated with crizotinib or alectinib in institutions of the West Japan Oncology Group, and the safety of CRZ and ALEC were evaluated using the real-world data.
Methods
We reviewed the clinical data of ALK-rearranged NSCLC patients who received CRZ or ALEC between May 2012 and Dec 2016. Patients were divided into two groups, the CRZ, or the ALEC group. To evaluate the safety of each ALK-inhibitor, we compared the AEs between the CRZ and the ALEC groups.
Results
Of 864 patients enrolled from 61 institutions, 840 patients were analyzed. Median age was 61 (range, 20-94); 56% were female; and 95% had adenocarcinoma. There was no significant difference in the frequencies of ILD, renal dysfunction, and digestive dysfunction between the CRZ and the ALEC groups.(p = 0.905, p = 0.7208, p = 0.1735) Meanwhile, liver dysfunction was significantly more frequent in the CRZ group compared to the ALEC group.(50.7% in CRZ group vs. 29.1% in ALEC group, p = 0.0313) In adverse events of grade 3 or more, liver dysfunction remained significantly different in frequency between the two groups.(13.3% in CRZ vs. 3.9% in ALEC, p < 0.0001) Discontinuation due to adverse event was shown to be in 21.1% in the CRZ group, and 6.9% in the ALEC group.(p = 0.0656) Seventy-nine patients received alectinib therapy after the discontinuation of crizotinib due to an adverse event, with progression-free survival (PFS) of 24.8 months.
Conclusions
In clinical practice, the patients treated with CRZ exhibited a trend to discontinue CRZ at a higher rate due to AE compared to the ALEC group. The PFS of patients treated with ALEC, even in the patients who experience AE due to CRZ, was more than 2 years.
