Abstract Background To compare the benefits and explore the cause of acquired resistance of epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI) and its combination with chemotherapy in advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients harboring EGFR mutation in a real-life setting.Methods This retrospective analysis included 117 advanced NSCLC patients with EGFR mutation who underwent next-generation sequencing (NGS) prior to treatment. The combination group included 50 patients who received the regimen of EGFR-TKI combined with chemotherapy, while the EGFR-TKI monotherapy group included 67 patients treated with TKI only. The primary endpoint of this study was progression-free survival (PFS); the secondary endpoints were overall survival (OS), response rate, and toxicity.Results The median PFS was significantly longer in the combination group than in the EGFR-TKI monotherapy group (19.00 months [95% CI, 14.674-23.326] vs. 11.70 months [95% CI, 10.807-12.593], p = 0.000). Subgroup analysis showed a similar trend of results. The median OS was not reached in the combination group and was 38.50 (95% CI, 35.300-41.700) months in the EGFR-TKI monotherapy group (p = 0.586). Patients in the combination group were more likely to experience adverse events, most of which showed the severity of grade 1 or 2. T790M mutation remains the main reason for acquired resistance, and the frequency of T790M mutation was similar between the two groups (p = 0.898). Conclusions Compared with EGFR-TKI monotherapy, EGFR-TKI combined with chemotherapy significantly improved PFS in advanced NSCLC patients with EGFR mutation, with acceptable toxicity.

18104 Background: Asian NSCLC patients are known to have higher response rates to the EGFR TKI gefitinib (G) and erlotinib (E). Anecdotal reports suggest some activity for a second EGFR TKI after failure of the first. Methods: A retrospective review of the electronic pharmacy records, clinical and radiographic records of patients with advanced NSCLC at the National University Hospital who received both G and E in the previous 2 years was conducted. Objectives were to assess the disease control (response/stable disease) of the second TKI after failure of the first and characterize the clinical, pathological and molecular features of patients benefiting from a 2nd TKI. Results: 14 patients with advanced NSCLC who received a 2nd EGFR TKI after progression on the 1st TKI were identified. Patient characteristics: Chinese 12, female 10, and non-smokers 13. Histologic subtype: adenocarcinoma 7, bronchioloalveolar carcinoma (BAC) 3, squamous-cell carcinoma 1, NSCLC unspecified 3. 12 patients received cytotoxic chemotherapy with a median of 2 lines, (range 1–5). G and E was used as 1st/2nd/3rd/=4th line treatment in 8/2/2/2 and 0/4/2/8 patients respectively. G was used before E in 13 cases and disease control was seen in 8/14 (57%) patients. With a 2nd TKI after disease progression, disease control was seen 4/14 (28%) patients. Patient characteristics were: adenocarcinoma 3, BAC 1, all were never smokers and all received and responded to prior G. Median duration of control in these 4 patients for G was 8 (range 7–12) months, and subsequently to E was 2.5 (range 2–8) months. Disease control was associated with symptomatic improvement. Conclusion: This study documents disease control in 28% of Asian NSCLC patients treated with a second EGFR TKI after failure of a first. The molecular basis for these observations is currently being investigated. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

8042 Background: Pemetrexed or gefitinib is one of the standard second-line treatments for advanced non-squamousNSCLC in East Asia. The CTONG 0806 a multi-center, randomized, controlled, open-label phase II trial was designed to explore the efficacy of pemetrexed versus gefitinib as the second-line treatment in advanced NSCLC patients without EGFR mutation. Methods: The patients with locally advanced or metastatic, non-squamous NSCLC previously treated with platinum-based chemotherapy and no EGFR mutation in exons 18-21 were enrolled. Patients were 1:1 randomized to receive either gefitinib 250 mg per oral every day (G arm) or pemetrexed 500 mg/m2 iv day 1 with vitamin B12 and folic acid supplement every 21 days (P arm) until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or discontinuation of treatment due to other reason. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS). The secondary endpoints were 4-month and 6-month progression-free survival rate, overall survival (OS), objective response rate (ORR), quality of life using the FACT-L questionnaire and safety, EGFR and K-ras mutation status were evaluated and correlated with outcomes. Results: From Feb. 2009 to Aug. 2012, 157 evaluable patients were randomized (81 cases in G arm and 76 in P arm). Baseline age, gender, and ECOG performance status were balanced between arms. The primary endpoint of PFS was met with 1.6 months for G arm versus 4.8 months for P arm, the HR is 0.51 (95% CI 0.36~0.73, P<0.001). Overall response rates were 14.7 % and 13.3 % (P=0.814) and DCR were 32.0% and 61.3% (P<0.001) for G arm and P arm, respectively. OS data were not yet mature. More skin rash and diarrhoea were seen in G arm, but more fatigue and ALT increased in P arm. CTCAE grade 3 or 4 of AEs was 12.3% in G arm and 32.9% in P arm (p=0.002). The further analyses of efficacy evaluated by IRR and biomarkers analysis will be presented on the ground. Conclusions: CTONG0806 is the first trial to show significant improvements in PFS and DCR with pemetrexed compared with gefitinib in second-line setting for advanced NSCLC with EGFR wild type. Patients with EGFR wild type did not benefit from EGFR TKI gefitinb in second-line setting. Clinical trial information: NCT00891579.
