Purpose The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase has been an important target for non–small-cell lung cancer. Several EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are currently approved, and both gefitinib and erlotinib are the most well-known first-generation EGFR-TKIs. This randomized phase III study was conducted to investigate the difference between these two EGFR-TKIs. Patients and Methods Previously treated patients with lung adenocarcinoma were randomly assigned to receive gefitinib or erlotinib. This study aimed to investigate the noninferiority of gefitinib compared with erlotinib. The primary end point was progression-free survival (PFS). Results Five hundred sixty-one patients were randomly assigned, including 401 patients (71.7%) with EGFR mutation. All baseline factors (except performance status) were balanced between the arms. Median PFS and overall survival times for gefitinib and erlotinib were 6.5 and 7.5 months (hazard ratio [HR], 1.125; 95% CI, 0.940 to 1.347; P = .257) and 22.8 and 24.5 months (HR, 1.038; 95% CI, 0.833 to 1.294; P = .768), respectively. The response rates for gefitinib and erlotinib were 45.9% and 44.1%, respectively. Median PFS times in EGFR mutation–positive patients receiving gefitinib versus erlotinib were 8.3 and 10.0 months, respectively (HR, 1.093; 95% CI, 0.879 to 1.358; P = .424). The primary grade 3 or 4 toxicities were rash (2.2% for gefitinib v 18.1% for erlotinib) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT)/aspartate aminotransferase (AST) elevation (6.1%/13.0% for gefitinib v 2.2%/3.3% for erlotinib). Conclusion The study did not demonstrate noninferiority of gefitinib compared with erlotinib in terms of PFS in patients with lung adenocarcinoma according to the predefined criteria.

Background: In the PROSELICA phase III trial (NCT01308580), cabazitaxel 20 mg/m2 (CABA20) was non-inferior to cabazitaxel 25 mg/m2 (CABA25) in mCRPC patients previously treated with docetaxel (DOC). The present post hoc analysis evaluates how the type of progression at randomization affected outcomes. Methods: Progression type at randomization was defined as follows: PSA progression only (PSA-p; no radiological progression (RADIO-p), no pain), RADIO-p (±PSA-p, no pain), or pain progression (PAIN-p, ±PSA-p, ±RADIO-p). Relationships between progression type and overall survival (OS), radiological progression-free survival (rPFS), and PSA response (confirmed PSA decrease ≥ 50%) were analyzed. Results: All randomized patients (n = 1200) had received prior DOC, and 25.7% had received prior abiraterone or enzalutamide. Progression type at randomization was evaluable in 1075 patients (PSA-p = 24.4%, RADIO-p = 20.8%, PAIN-p = 54.8%). Pain progression was associated with clinical and biological features of aggressive disease. Median OS from CABA initiation or date of mCRPC diagnosis, all arms combined, was shorter in the PAIN-p group than in the RADIO-p or the PSA-p groups (12.0 versus 16.8 and 18.4 months, respectively, p < 0.001). In multivariate analysis, all arms combined, PAIN-p was an independent predictor of poor OS (HR = 1.44, p < 0.001). PSA response, rPFS, and OS were numerically higher with CABA25 versus CABA20 in patients with PAIN-p. Conclusions: This post hoc analysis of the PROSELICA phase III study shows that pain progression at initiation of CABA in mCRPC patients previously treated with DOC is associated with a poor prognosis. Disease progression should be carefully monitored, even in the absence of PSA rise.

8052 Background: SELECT was a phase III study that investigated whether the addition of cetuximab (C) to pemetrexed (P) improved outcome in previously treated patients (pts) with recurrent or progressive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Clinical results have been reported previously and demonstrated that adding C to P did not improve progression-free survival (PFS) or overall survival (OS). H-score has been reported to be a potential predictor of outcome for C therapy. Prespecified biomarker analyses, including EGFR IHC and H-score, are reported here. Methods: EGFRexpression in tumor tissue was not required for eligibility; however, tissue was collected and analyzed for EGFR expression by IHC using standard methods. In addition, H-score evaluation was performed by trained central pathologists and correlated with clinical outcome using a predefined cutoff for “low” and “high” of <200 and ≥200, respectively. Results: A total of 449 (IHC) and 406 (H-score) pt specimens were evaluable. Demographics for pts with tissue available for EGFR analysis were similar to the overall population. For IHC+ pts (n=396), median PFS for C+P was 3.02 months (95% CI, 2.76–3.45) compared with 2.99 months (95% CI, 2.63–4.14) for P (HR, 1.02 [95% CI, 0.83–1.24]; p=.86). For pts with low H-score (N=99 [C+P] and N=111 [P]), median PFS was 2.7 months (95% CI, 1.8–3.2) with C+P and 3.1 months (95% CI, 2.6–4.1) with P (HR, 1.11 [95% CI, 0.84–1.46]; P=.48); median OS was 6.7 months (95% CI, 5.3–8.6) with C+P and 6.6 months (95% CI, 4.7–9.2) with P (HR, 0.96 [95% CI, 0.72–1.27]; P=.76). Among pts with high H-scores (N=101 [C+P] and N= 95 [P]), median PFS was 3.2 months (95% CI, 2.7–4.6) with C+P and 3.7 months (95% CI, 1.7–4.5) with P (HR, 1.02 [95% CI, 0.77–1.37]; P=.86); median OS was 7.7 months (95% CI, 6.5–10.9) with C+P and 8.0 months (95% CI, 7.0–9.1) with P (HR, 1.17 [95% CI, 0.86–1.57]; P=.32). Conclusions: EGFR H-score was not predictive of benefit for the addition of C to P in this population of pts with NSCLC. There was also no treatment effect in the IHC+ group.
