e19166 Background: The efficacy of comparing the EGFR-TKI with standard chemotherapy in the second-line treatment of advanced NSCLC with wide-type EGFR were still controversial. To derive a more precise estimation of the two regimens, a meta-analysis was performed. Methods: Medical databases and conference proceedings were searched for randomized controlled trials which compared EGFR-TKI (gefitinib or erlotinib) with standard second-line chemotherapy (docetaxel or pemetrexed) in patients with NSCLC. Endpoints were overall survival, progression-free survival and overall response. Results: Three eligible trials (INTEREST, TITAN and TAILOR) were identified. Lacking for data of overall survival of TAILOR trial, So we only make a preliminary meta-analysis for overall survival. The intention to treatment (ITT) analysis demonstrated that the patients receiving EGFR-TKI had a significantly shorter progression-free survival (PFS) than patients treated with chemotherapy (hazard ratio (HR) = 1.31; 95% confidence intervals (CI) = 1.10-1.56; P = 0.002). The overall survival (OS) and overall response rate (ORR) were coparable between this two groups (HR = 0.96; 95%CI = 0.77-1.19; P = 0.69; relative risk (RR) = 0.37; 95%CI = 0.09-1.54; P = 0.17). Conclusions: Although chemotherapy had a clear superiority in PFS as second-line treatment for patients without EGFR mutations compared with EGFR-TKI, OS and ORR were equal in this two regimens. The toxicity profiles might play an important role in the decision to choose EGFR-TKI or chemotherapy. These findings still need to be verified in larger confirmatory studies in future.

e21636 Background: Afatinib is an irreversible ErbB family blocker, which is approved for the treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with activating EGFR mutations. Here we report the final results of the prospective non-interventional study (NIS) GIDEON, which was initiated to investigate the efficacy and tolerability of afatinib in the daily clinical routine in Germany. Methods: EGFR-mutated NSCLC patients were treated with afatinib according to label until progression, death or discontinuation. Efficacy (progression-free survival (PFS) rate at 12 months, objective response rate, ORR; disease control rate, DCR; progression-free survival, PFS and overall survival, OS) was prospectively assessed by investigators. Data about tolerability were collected during routine treatment. Results: In total, 161 patients were enrolled at 41 sites in Germany, 152 patients received at least one dose of afatinib (treated set; TS) and 146 patients were treated according to the protocol (PPS). The majority of patients for the entire TS had exon 19 deletions (64.5%), followed by L858R point mut. (22.4%) and uncommon mut. (exon 18-21 point mut.; 13.1%). The primary objective was PFS-rate at 12 months, which was 50.2% in the PPS. Median PFS amounted to 12.2 months. ORR and DCR were 74.6% and 91.5% in the PPS, respectively. Median OS was 30.4 months with 1- and 2-year survival rates of 79.1% and 57.7%, respectively. Among pat. with uncommon EGFR-mut., the 12-months PFS rate was 40.2% with a mPFS of 10.7 months. ORR and DCR were 83.3% and 91.7%, respectively. The most frequent documented adverse drug reactions (ADRs) were diarrhea and rash/acne with 13.8% and 7.2% of grade 3 but no grade 4 or higher. Conclusions: Afatinib is a standard therapy for patients with activating EGFR mut. in Germany. The final results of this prospective NIS confirm the robust clinical data for afatinib in the clinical routine setting, including patients with uncommon exon 18-21 point mutations. Clinical trial information: NCT02047903.

Effectiveness data can describe the results or performance of an intervention (treatment) in daily clinical practice and also provide recommendations to policymakers regarding the need or not of health technology to be implemented into the health care system. Research related to the effectiveness of afatinib and gefitinib is still minimal, especially in Indonesia. This study aims to provide an overview of the effectiveness of afatinib and gefitinib in daily clinical practice (the real world) as first-line therapy. This research is an observational study with a retrospective approach that observes the medical records of NSCLC patients who have EGFR mutations in Dr. Sardjito General Hospital Yogyakarta and Dr. Kariadi General Hospital Semarang, Java Island, Indonesia in the period January 2016 - March 2019. The effectiveness seen is the Progress Free Survival and Overall Survival based on the patient's medical records and analyzed using the Kaplan Meier test to see survival. There were 113 patients identified, 27 patients using afatinib and 86 patients using gefitinib. Afatinib had significantly superior progression-free survival (448 days or 14.7 months; 95% CI = 12-17.4 months; p = 0.002) compared to gefitinib (344 days or 11.3 months; 95% CI = 8, 4-14.3 months), however, overall survival of afatinib is no better than gefitinib (472 days or 15.5 months; 95% CI = 13.8-17.2 months vs 653 days or 21.4 months; 95% CI = 18-24.8 months) with a value of p = 0.302. Afatinib has superior progression-free survival compared to gefitinib, but not overall survival as first-line therapy in NSCLC patients with EGFR mutations.

e19099 Background: Patients (pts) with advanced NSCLC and sensitizing EGFR mutations who initially respond to gefitinib or erlotinib eventually develop acquired resistance to the TKIs. Our goal was to determine the effects of erlotinib 150 mg/d in EGFR mutated pts resistant to gefitinib 250 mg/d, because the EGFR TKI erlotinib is given at a higher biologically active dose than gefitinib. Methods: Retrospective review of 5 EGFR mutated (exon 19 deletions) patients that were given gefitinib and subsequently erlotinib. Results: All pts responded to gefitinib with median progression-free survival of 13 months (95% confidence interval, 4-16). After gefitinib resistance, 60% (3 of 5) of these pts displayed progressive disease while on erlotinib with progression-free survival of 2 months (95% confidence interval, 2-3). These pts acquired the T790M mutation. 2 gefitinib-resistant pts with the acquired L858R-L747S EGFR, which in vitro is sensitive to achievable serum concentrations of erlotinib 150 mg/d, achieved a partial response to erlotinib. In literature doesn’t exist a prospective study about the stratification of pts ordered by PS, age, gender, smoker/non-smoker, which could test the efficiency of the erlotinib after gefitinib in pts with different EGFR mutations. We only have at our disposal few studies control-case in non-selected pts which show a potential efficiency of erlotinib after the failure of the gefitinib, nevertheless, without an evident increase of the overall survival. Conclusions: In EGFR mutated tumors resistant to gefitinib 250 mg/d, a switch to erlotinib 150 mg/d does not lead to responses in most pts. These findings are consistent with preclinical models, because the common mechanisms of TKI resistance (T790M and MET amplification) in vitro are not inhibited by clinically achievable doses of gefitinib or erlotinib. Alternative strategies to overcome TKI resistance must be evaluated.

e20557 Background: Patients with synchronous de novo EGFR sensitising and resistance mutations are rare. Little is known about the response of these patients to EGFR TKIs, especially in a Caucasian population. Methods: We identified NSCLC patients found to have EGFR mutations using PCR-based fragment length analysis, mass spectrometry-based genotyping (Sequenom), and Sanger sequencing using a large multi-institutional database. Baseline clinical characteristics, response rate, progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were calculated. Results: From 2008-2015, we observed de novo synchronous EGFR sensitising and resistance mutations in 12 patients representing an overall incidence of 3.6% of EGFR mutants and 0.4% of all NSCLC patients tested. Seven patients were treated using EGFR TKI therapy with erlotinib. In all cases, T790M (n = 4,50%) or S768I (n = 4, 50%) occurred concurrently with another sensitising EGFR mutation, either L858R (n = 4, 34%) or exon 19 deletion (n = 8, 66%). Objective responses were seen in two patients (29%). Three further patients had stable disease lasting 6, 23 and 54 months respectively. The median progression-free survival was 24 months and the median overall survival was 34 months. All patients with baseline EGFR S768I mutations (n = 3) had an objective response or stable disease on erlotinib while two of four patients with T790M demonstrated de novo resistance. Conclusions: This is the largest Irish review of synchronous de novo EGFR mutations. The incidence of co-occurring EGFR mutations was 0.4% and erlotinib demonstrated activity in this cohort of patients. Ongoing trials will determine whether next-generation EGFR TKIs such as osimertinib are preferable as first-line therapy in these patients.

7542 Background: Rash is reported in 75% of p treated with erlotinib and has been associated with improved overall and progression-free survival (PFS) in unselected p although not specifically in p with EGFR mutations. Methods: The EURTAC trial (clinicaltrials.gov NCT00446225) randomized 174 p with EGFR exon 19 deletions or L858R mutations to receive erlotinib or chemotherapy. Overall PFS was 9.7 months (m) vs 5.2 m, respectively (P<0.0001). Rash was defined according to NCI CTC v3.0 and dichotomized by grades 0-1 vs 2+. Grade 2 is macular or popular eruption or erythema with pruritus or other associated symptoms, localized desquamation or other lesions covering <50% of body surface area. We examined outcome in the erlotinib arm according to rash grade. Results: 16 p in the erlotinib arm had no rash (grade 0), 30 had grade 1, and 40 had grade 2+. 80% of cases of rash grade 2+ occurred in p with exon 19 deletions, while only 20% were in p with L858R mutations (P=0.039). There were no differences in rash grade according to sex, age or smoking status. PFS was 11.2 m in p with rash grade 2+ and 8.4 m in p with grade 0-1 (HR, 0.52; P=0.018). There was no correlation between rash grade 0-1 vs 2+ and response or overall survival (OS). Interestingly, when p were divided into those with no rash (16 p) and those with grade 2+ (40 p), PFS was 11.2 m for p with grade 2+ vs 2.7 m for p with no rash (P=0.031), and OS was 24.9 m for p with grade 2+ vs 16.1 m for p with no rash (P=0.033). Conclusions: Although the biological reasons for the association of skin rash with better outcome to erlotinib have not been elucidated, this sub-analysis of the EURTAC trial has enabled us to confirm for the first time that skin rash – especially grade 2+ - can predict better outcome to erlotinib in p with EGFR mutations. In addition, the correlation between rash and type of EGFR mutation warrants further investigation.

: EGFR-TKIs are facing a big challenge of everlasting activated EGFR mutations which lack of effective binding sites, this barrier confers the dark sides that largely limited the outcome of NSCLC patients in clinic. Combination strategies show impressive anti-tumor efficacy comparing with EGFR-TKI mono-treatment, especially targeting both stem cells and non-stem cells. SHP2 (Src homology 2-containing phosphotyrosine phosphatase 2) plays an important role in regulating various malignant biology through hyper-activating intracellular pathways due to either over expression or catalytical mutation. Some pathways that SHP2 involved in were overlaps with EGFR downstream, and others were not subject to EGFR. Interestingly, SHP2 suppression was reported that can destroy the stemness of cancer. Therefore, we hypothesize SHP2 inhibitor might be an promising drug that could synergistically enhance or sensitize the anti-tumor efficacy of EGFR-TKIs in EGFR mutated NSCLC patients. Here, we summarized the mechanisms of SHP2 in regulating EGFR mutated NSCLC patients, attempted to reveal the potential synergistic effects of SHP2 inhibitor combined with EGFR-TKIs.

Background: Proof of the T790M resistance mutation is mandatory if patients with EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) progress under first- or second-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy. In addition to rebiopsy, analysis of plasma circulating tumor DNA is used to detect T790M resistance mutation. We studied whether sputum is another feasible specimen for detection of EGFR mutations. Methods: Twenty-eight patients with advanced EGFR-mutated NSCLC were included during stable and/or progressive disease. The initial activating EGFR mutations (exon 19 deletions or L858R mutations) at stable disease and at progressive disease (together with T790M) were assessed in simultaneously collected plasma and sputum samples and detected by droplet digital polymerase chain reaction (ddPCR). Results: Activating EGFR mutations were detected in 47% of the plasma samples and 41% of sputum samples during stable disease, and in 57% of plasma samples and 64% of sputum samples during progressive disease. T790M was detected in 44% of the plasma samples and 66% of the sputum samples at progressive disease. In ddPCR T790M-negative results for both specimens (plasma and sputum), negativity was confirmed by rebiopsy in 5 samples. Concordance rate of plasma and sputum for T790M was 0.86, with a positive percent agreement of 1.0 and a negative percent agreement of 0.80. Conclusions: We demonstrated that EGFR mutation analysis with ddPCR is feasible in sputum samples. Combination of plasma and sputum analyses for detection of T790M in NSCLC patients with progressive disease increases the diagnostic yield compared with molecular plasma analysis alone.
