e21616 Background: In Chinese patients with lung adenocarcinoma, the positive rate of EGFR mutation was 40% - 50%, EGFR-TKIs therapy for lung cancer was also aimed at this part of patients. However, different EGFR mutation types have different therapeutic effects, this study focuses on different EGFR mutation types to divide the population of lung adenocarcinoma. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed gene test results of two hundred and sixty-two treatment-naïve adenocarcinoma patients. Tumor tissues (199, 76%), plasma (46, 17.5%) and other samples (17, 6.5%) were subject to next-generation sequencing using a 59-gene panel, which enables simultaneously assess SNV, Indel, rearrangements and CNV variations. Results: There were 174 females. These patients were divided into four groups, which 139 were EGFR L858R, 99 were EGFR exon 19 deletion, 7 were EGFR 20 ins and 17 were uncommon EGFR mutations, the co-mutation proportions with EGFR were 84.9% (118/139), 76.8% (76/99), 71.4% (5/7) and 94.1% (16/17) respectively. The mean numbers of co-mutation genes in L858R and exon 19 deletion were 4.173 and 3.258 (p<0.05). TP53 mutation was detected in 14.3% (1/7) 20ins group, which had a significant difference to L858R (59.7%, 83/139) and uncommon mutation groups (70.6%, 12/17) (p<0.05). Meanwhile, EGFR amplification proportion in L858R (18%, 25/139) and exon 19 deletion (6.1%, 6/99) were significantly different (p<0.05). The actionable mutations associated with target therapy involved in multiple pathways, for example, the HRR pathway and cell cycle pathway, related genes had no significant difference among the four groups. In these lung adenocarcinoma patients, we also found 6 EGFR T790M (2.3%, 6/262). Three cases accompanied with exon 19 deletion, and another three were L858R, no distribution in 20ins and uncommon groups. Conclusions: The phenomenon of concurrent gene mutation in treatment-naïve EGFR-mutant lung adenocarcinoma is common. EGFR mutant subgroups have different co-mutation features, like gene number and mutated genes. It may be the factor leading to different therapeutic effects of EGFR-TKIs, and indicate the importance of multiplex molecular test and further researches of target therapies.

Abstract Background: This study is to investigate the effects and resistance mechanisms of first-generation epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients carrying rare EGFR exon 19 deletion-insertion (19delins) mutations. Methods: The next generation sequencing (NGS) data of 1783 patients diagnosed as advanced NSCLC from November 2017 to September 2020 were successively and retrospectively reviewed. 41 patients with EGFR 19delins and 41 patients with EGFR exon 19 deletion (19del) were enrolled in this study, who were given first generation EGFR TKIs as first-line therapy. Results: 17 mutation types of EGFR 19delins were identified in this study, L747_P753delinsS (10/41) and L747_A750delinsP (9/41) were the most frequent mutation types, followed by L747_T751delinsP (6/41) and E746_S752delinsV (3/41). Under the same baseline characteristics, median progression-free survival (mPFS) was similar in patients with EGFR 19delins to those with EGFR 19del (10.4 months vs. 13.1 months, p=0.1076). Interestingly, patients with L747_T751delinsP had a better mPFS than those with other variants (18.7 months vs. 13.1 months, p=0.035). No significant difference in mPFS was found among the three groups of gefitinib, icotinib, and erlotinb with 14.7 months, 10.9 months, and 13.1 months (p>0.05). After progression from first-line EGFR TKIs, both EGFR 19delins and EGFR 19del had similar rates of developing resistance mechanisms including EGFR T790M mutation (45.8% vs. 57.8%). Patients acquiring T790M mutation received osimeritinib as second-line treatment, and the mPFS was similar between the groups of EGFR 19delins (n=8) and EGFR 19del (n=10): 12.0 months vs. 12.2 months (p=0.97). Conclusion: Our results indicate that patients with uncommon EGFR 19delins can also benefit from first-generation EGFR TKIs treatment, having similar treatment responses and survival outcomes to those with EGFR 19del, even similar clinical outcomes from osimeritinib upon acquiring T790M resistance mutation.

Purpose. A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) was conducted to compare the difference in efficacy and safety between epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) with antiangiogenic inhibitors ( A + T ) and EGFR-TKI monotherapy in patients with treatment-naïve advanced EGFR-mutant non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods. PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane electronic databases were searched for relevant RCTs. Meeting abstracts were also reviewed to identify appropriate studies. The endpoints included progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), 1- and 2-year OS rates, objective response rate (ORR), and grade ≥ 3 adverse events. All pooled outcomes were expressed using hazard ratios (HRs) or relative risk ratios (RRs). Results. Data were collected from six eligible RCTs, which included 1,244 participants (619 in the A + T group and 625 in the TKI alone group). PFS was significantly improved with A + T compared to TKI alone ( HR = 0.60 ; P < 0.01 ) regardless of EGFR mutation types (exon 19 deletion or L858R) and brain metastasis status (with or without brain metastases). There was no significant difference in median OS between the A + T and TKI alone groups ( HR = 0.933 ; P = 0.551 ) regardless of EGFR mutation type. The ORR for A + T combination therapy was significantly increased compared to TKI monotherapy in exon 19 deletion subgroups ( RR = 0.774 ; P = 0.008 ). There was no difference in the positive rates of acquired T790M mutation between the two groups ( RR = 0.967 ; P = 0.846 ). More patients in the TKI alone group received a variety of subsequent systemic treatments than those in the A + T group ( RR = 0.881 ; P = 0.002 ). Conclusion. Addition of antiangiogenic inhibitors to first-line EGFR-TKI therapy significantly reduced the risk of disease progression for patients with advanced EGFR-mutant NSCLC regardless of EGFR mutation type and brain metastasis status. The lack of OS benefit may be explained by differences in subsequent treatments rather than drug resistance mechanisms.

Some commonly available patient or disease characteristics may be associated with progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) in EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients receiving EGFR-TKIs (epidermal growth factor receptor - tyrosine kinase inhibitors). We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized control trials (RCTs) to explore differences in outcomes associated with EGFR-TKIs among subgroups of EGFR-mutant NSCLC patients. Pooled HRs for progression or death (PFS-HRs) and pooled HRs for death (OS-HRs) were compared among sub-groups defined according to baseline clinical and demographic variables as well as type of EGFR mutation. In the entire assessable population of 4465 EGFR-mutant NSCLC patients, significant interactions with PFS were found for gender (males vs. females; pooled ratio of the PFS-HRs = 1.2; 95% CI 1.12–1.56), smoking history (smokers vs. non-smokers; pooled ratio of the PFS-HRs = 1.26; 95% CI 1.05–1.51), and type of EGFR mutation (patients with exon 21 L858R mutation vs. exon 19 deletion; pooled ratio of the PFS-HRs = 1.39; 95% CI 1.18–1.63). Male patients, smokers and patients with EGFR exon 21 L858R mutation may derive less benefit from EGFR-TKIs compared to female patients, non-smokers and patients with EGFR exon 19 deletion.

e19064 Background: Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene mutations determine the treatment and prognosis in lung adenocarcinoma. Exon 19 and exon 21 (L858R) deletions represent the most common recognised mutations detected. To date, no figures regarding the prevalence of EGFR mutations in the Irish population have been published. Methods: The prevalence of EGFR mutations was retrospectively analysed for all patient samples tested since the introduction of EGFR testing routinely (Mar to Dec 2012) in a single Irish institute. The presence of 41 known treatment linked EGFR mutations in exons 18, 19, 20 and 21 of the EGFR gene was tested in 209 Irish patients. Resection, core biopsy or FNA samples were analysed using a commercially available CE-IVD marked multiplex real-time PCR assay. Samples were included from patients of curative and palliative treatment intent. Results: 30 out of 209 patients with lung adenocarcinoma tested had an EGFR mutation (13%, 95% CI 8.4-17.6%). Of the mutations detected relative frequency was as follows: exon 19 deletion 63.3% (n=19, 95% CI 46.1-80.6%), exon 21 (p.L858R) 16.7% (n=5, 95% CI 3.3-30.0%), exon 20 insertions 13.3% (n=4, 95% CI 1.2-25.5%) and exon 18 (p.G719X) and exon 20 (p.T790M) both at 3.3% (n=1, 95% CI 0-9.8%). Of those patients tested 51.2% were male (n=107) and 48.8% (n=102) female. The incidence of mutations was higher in females than in males; 63.3% of those with an EGFR mutation were female (n=19, 95% CI 46.1-80.6%). Reciprocally, the male percentage was 36.7% (n=11, 95% CI 19.4-53.9). The mean age at testing was 67 years. Complete smoking data was unavailable for this study. All samples tested were formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue or cell preparations. Turn around time (TAT) for EGFR mutation processing substantially improved over ten month period, from over five weeks to less than four working days. Conclusions: This group of patients represent the largest cohort of patients tested for EGFR mutation in a single institute in Ireland in less than 12 months. The incidence of EGFR mutations in this patient population is comparable to current European estimates. The gender bias was notable amongst those tested, with female patients being nearly twice as likely to harbour an EGFR mutation.

Objective This study aimed to identify a predictive marker of response to epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) in patients with EGFR-mutant advanced lung adenocarcinoma. Methods A cohort of 190 patients with EGFR-mutant advanced lung adenocarcinoma was analyzed. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was used to evaluate the optimal cutoffs for fibrinogen levels, the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and the platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) for predicting progression-free survival (PFS). Univariate and multivariate survival analyses were performed to identify factors correlated with PFS and overall survival (OS). Results High NLR was associated with worse performance status. In univariate analysis, fibrinogen levels, NLR, and PLR were correlated with OS and PFS. In multivariate analysis, all three variables remained predictive of OS, whereas only fibrinogen levels and PLR were independent prognostic factors for PFS. Furthermore, the combination of fibrinogen levels and PLR (F-PLR score) could stratify patients into three groups with significantly different prognoses, and the score was independently predictive of survival. Conclusion The F-PLR score predicted the prognosis of patients with EGFR-mutant advanced lung adenocarcinoma who received EGFR-TKIs, and this score may serve as a convenient blood-based marker for identifying high-risk patients.
