Abstract 5239
Background
ALK inhibitors (ALKi) have shown substantial benefit in pts with advanced ALK+ NSCLC. We describe real-world treatment patterns and outcomes in pts with ALK+ advanced NSCLC in the US.
Methods
This retrospective cohort study utilised US electronic health record data from Flatiron Health. Pts diagnosed with stage IIIB-IV ALK+ NSCLC from 1 Jan 2011 to 30 Sep 2018 were included. Treatment patterns and outcomes (real-world progression-free survival [rwPFS] and overall survival [OS]) were extracted for first- or second-line therapy. Time to treatment discontinuation (TTTD) was used as a surrogate for real-world treatment duration accounting for treatment beyond progression. Time-to-event analyses were performed using Kaplan-Meier methods.
Results
Data were available for 620 pts with ALK+ advanced NSCLC. An ALKi was given to 420/620 (67.7%) pts as first-line therapy and 273/359 (76.0%) pts who received second-line therapy. Among non-ALKi treatments, platinum-based regimens were the most common. Crizotinib was the preferred first-line ALKi up to 2016, and then alectinib. As second-line therapy, crizotinib was the preferred ALKi up to 2013, followed by ceritinib from 2014–2015, and then alectinib to the end of the follow-up period. TTTD, rwPFS and OS were longest with alectinib, followed by crizotinib and non-ALKi (Table).Table:

Conclusions
The use of ALKi in the US reflects current clinical guidelines. Despite the choice and established benefit of individual ALKi as first-line therapy, more than 25% of pts received a non-ALKi as first-line therapy, even in recent years (2017/2018). Furthermore, in clinical practice, treatment beyond progression with an ALKi is relatively common. OS for non-ALKi was comparable to some ALKi, but OS is also reflective of treatment received in later lines of therapy.
