Osimertinib has demonstrated promising efficacy against leptomeningeal metastasis (LM) associated with T790M-positive non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, the effect of cerebrospinal fluid’s (CSF’s) epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) T790M mutation on osimertinib efficacy remains unclear.Seventy-eight patients were studied with EGFR-mutated NSCLC and LM. Case data were collected and EGFR mutation status of circulating cell-free DNA from paired CSF, and plasma of 23 patients with LM was detected using droplet digital PCR. The median overall survival (mOS) was 8.08 months (95% CI: 6.07–10.09) in the study. Forty-four osimertinib-treated patients had an improved mOS of 13.15 (95% CI: 5.74–20.57) and a median progression-free survival (PFS) of 9.50 months (95% CI: 6.77–12.23) when compared with patients treated with first- or second-generation EGFR-TKI (mOS = 3.00 months (95% CI: 1.32–4.68) and median PFS = 1.50 months (95% CI: 0.00–3.14)). In the osimertinib group, mOS values for CSF with and without T790M mutation were 22.15 months (95% CI: 9.44–34.87) and 13.39 months (95% CI: 7.01–19.76), respectively, with no statistical differences. Regardless of the CSF T790M mutation status, osimertinib demonstrated significant efficacy against LM associated with NSCLC.

Purpose The Iressa Mutation-Positive Multicentre Treatment Beyond ProgRESsion Study (IMPRESS) compared the continuation of gefitinib plus chemotherapy with placebo plus chemotherapy in patients with epidermal growth factor receptor ( EGFR) mutation–positive advanced non–small-cell lung cancer with progression (Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors 1.1) after first-line gefitinib. Primary results indicated no difference between treatments in terms of progression-free survival (PFS). The current analysis presents final, mature, overall survival (OS) data, together with exploratory analyses that examined whether specific biomarkers, including T790M mutation status, were able to differentiate a relative treatment effect. Patients and Methods Patients were randomly assigned to gefitinib 250 mg or placebo, in addition to cisplatin 75 mg/m2 plus pemetrexed 500 mg/m2 (maximum of six cycles of chemotherapy). EGFR mutation status was determined from plasma-derived circulating free tumor-derived DNA samples (beads, emulsification, amplification, and magnetics digital polymerase chain reaction assay, allelic fraction analysis). Results A total of 265 patients with non–small-cell lung cancer were randomly assigned, and overall data maturity was 66%. Continuation of gefitinib plus cisplatin and pemetrexed was detrimental to OS when compared with placebo plus cisplatin and pemetrexed (hazard ratio [HR], 1.44; 95% CI, 1.07 to 1.94; P = .016; median OS, 13.4 v 19.5 months). The detriment was statistically significant in patients with T790M mutation–positive plasma samples (HR, 1.49; 95% CI, 1.02 to 2.21), whereas statistical significance was not reached in T790M mutation–negative patients (HR, 1.15; 95% CI, 0.68 to 1.94). PFS in T790M mutation–positive patients was similar between treatments, and the difference observed in T790M mutation–negative patients did not reach statistical significance (HR, 0.67; 95% CI, 0.43 to 1.03; P = .0745). Conclusion Final OS data from IMPRESS are supportive of earlier PFS results and are sufficient to warn physicians against the continuation of treatment with first-generation EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors beyond radiologic disease progression when chemotherapy is initiated. Plasma biomarker analyses suggest that this effect may be driven by T790M-positive status.

Background and Objective: Patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring sensitizing epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations show a good response to EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs). The subsequent treatments influence the evaluability of the efficacy of front-line therapy on overall survival (OS). Consequently, we evaluated the associations of relapse-free survival (RFS) and post-progression survival (PPS) with OS in patients who exhibited postoperative relapse of EGFR-mutated NSCLC. Materials and Methods: We analyzed the data of 35 patients with EGFR-mutated NSCLC who underwent complete resection between January 2007 and June 2019. The correlations of RFS and PPS with OS were evaluated at the individual patient level. Results: Linear regression and Spearman’s rank correlation analyses demonstrated that the PPS highly correlated with OS (r = 0.91, p < 0.05, R2 = 0.85), whereas the RFS weakly associated with OS (r = 0.36, p < 0.05, R2 = 0.25). Age and performance status at relapse were significantly associated with PPS. Conclusion: Overall, PPS was more strongly and significantly associated with OS than RFS. These results suggest that the OS of our cohort may be affected by treatments, besides postoperative relapse. However, larger-scale prospective studies are needed to confirm these results.
