Abstract Background The prognostic significance of TP53 concurrent mutations in patients with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)- or anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)- mutated advanced non–small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who received EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) or ALK-TKIs based targeted therapy remains controversial. Therefore, the present meta-analysis was performed to investigate the association between TP53 concurrent mutations and prognosis of patients with advanced NSCLC undergoing EGFR-TKIs or ALK-TKIs treatments. Methods Eligible studies were identified by searching the online databases PubMed, Embase, Medline, The Cochrane library and Web of Science. Hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated to clarify the correlation between TP53 mutation status and prognosis of patients. This meta-analysis was conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement. Results In total, 15 studies with 1342 patients were included for final analysis. Overall, concurrent TP53 mutation was associated with unfavorable progression-free survival (PFS) (HR=1.88, 95%CI: 1.59-2.23, p<0.001, I2=0.0%, P=0.792) and overall survival (OS) (HR=1.92, 95%CI: 1.55-2.38, p<0.001, I2=0.0%, P=0.515). Subgroup analysis based on type of targeted therapy (EGFR-TKIs or ALK-TKIs, pathological type of cancer (adenocarcinoma only or all NSCLC subtypes) and line of treatment (first-line only or all lines) all showed that TP53 mutations was associated with shorter survivals of patients with EGFR-TKIs or ALK-TKIs treatments. Particularly, in patients with first-line EGFR-TKIs treatment, significantly poorer prognosis was observed in patients with TP53 concurrent mutations (pooled HR for PFS: 1.69, 95% CI 1.25-2.27, P<0.001, I2=0.0%, P=0.473; pooled HR for OS: 1.94, 95% CI 1.36-2.76, P<0.001, I2=0.0%, P=0.484). Begg’s funnel plots and Egger’s tests indicated no significant publication bias in this study. Conclusions This meta-analysis indicated that concurrent TP53 mutations was a negative prognostic factor and associated with poorer outcomes of patients with EGFR-TKIs or ALK-TKIs treatments in advanced NSCLC. In addition, our study provided evidence that TP53 mutations might be involved in primary resistance to EGFR-TKIs treatments in patients with sensitive EGFR mutations in advanced NSCLC.

Background: Five EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors ( EGFR TKIs) are currently available in the first-line setting for non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in Japan. The aim here was to compare the relative efficacy of EGFR TKIs in the Japanese population. Materials & methods: A systematic review identified randomized controlled trials examining the efficacy of first-line EGFR TKIs. A Bayesian network meta-analysis was used to assess these EGFR TKI comparisons for progression-free survival (PFS). Results: A total of seven randomized controlled trials were identified and considered for network meta-analysis. Dacomitinib showed a trend toward improved PFS versus all comparators. Conclusion: Dacomitinib demonstrated a trend toward improved PFS and therefore, should be considered one of the standard first-line therapies for Japanese patients diagnosed with EGFR+ non-small-cell lung cancer.

Programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) has emerged as a potential biomarker for selection of patients more likely to respond to immunotherapy and as a prognostic factor in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In this network meta-analysis, we aimed to evaluate the efficacy of first-line anti-PD-(L)1 monotherapy in advanced NSCLC patients with high PD-L1 expression (≥50%) compared to platinum-based chemotherapy. We also evaluated efficacy outcomes according to tumor mutational burden (TMB). To that end, we conducted a systematic review. Six clinical trials with 2111 patients were included. In head-to-head comparisons, immunotherapy showed a significant improvement in progression-free survival (PFS: HRpooled = 0.69, 95% CI: 0.52–0.90, p = 0.007), overall survival (OS: HRpooled = 0.69, 95% CI: 0.61–0.78; p < 0.001) and overall response rate (ORR) (Risk ratio (RR)pooled = 1.354, 95% CI: 1.04–1.762, p = 0.024). In the assessment of relative efficacy for PFS through indirect comparisons, pembrolizumab (results from KEYNOTE-024) ranked highest followed by cemiplimab and atezolizumab, with statistical significance determined for some of the drugs. In terms of OS, cemiplimab ranked highest followed by atezolizumab and pembrolizumab, although non-significant OS was determined for these drugs. In conclusion, PD-(L)1 inhibitor monotherapy improves efficacy outcomes in the first line setting of advanced NSCLC patients with high PD-L1 expression. Evaluations with longer follow up are still needed to determine the superiority of any specific drug.

Background: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. First-generation epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) significantly improve prognosis of advanced NSCLC patients harboring EGFR sensitizing mutation. However, acquired resistance to EGFR-TKIs limits the good outcomes. Chinese herbal medicine (CHM) has been used for NSCLC patients receiving EGFR-TKIs for more than 10°years as an adjuvant treatment.Methods: Studies were searched from China BioMedical Literature, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure, Cqvip Database, Wanfang Database, MEDLINE (PubMed), EMBASE (Ovid), Google Scholar, and Cochrane Library from inception to March, 2021. Randomized controlled clinical trials (RCT) comparing EGFR-TKIs + CHM (TKIs + CHM) versus EGFR-TKIs with/without placebo (TKIs ± placebo) in participants with advanced NSCLC harboring EGFR sensitizing mutation were included in this study. Two authors screened all references, assessed the risk of bias and extracted data independently. Data were summarized using hazard ratio (HR) and risk ratios (RR), with 95% confidence intervals (CI) for binary outcomes. Meta-analysis was performed using random effects model. Overall quality of evidence was assessed using GRADE.Results: A total of 9 RCTs (1137 participants, 581 in the TKIs + CHM group and 556 in the TKIs ± placebo group) were included in this review. Only first-generation EGFR-TKIs were included. Most trials included used oral CHM preparations to tonify Qi and/or Yin. Treatment lasted from enrollment until disease progression (PD) or intolerable adverse events (AE). Combination of CHM with EGFR-TKIs improved median progression-free survival (mPFS) (HR,0.59; 95% CI, 0.52–0.68; P &lt; 0.00001) and objective response rate (ORR) (RR, 1.23; 95% CI, 1.13–1.34; P &lt; 0.00001) compared with used of EGFR-TKIs ± placebo. CHM reduced AE associated with EGFR-TKIs such as cutaneous toxicity (RR, 0.58; 95% CI, 0.46–0.73; P &lt; 0.00001) and diarrhea (RR, 0.43; 95% CI, 0.30–0.60; P &lt; 0.00001).Conclusion: Combination therapy of CHM and EGFR-TKIs significantly delays acquired resistance while improving ORR to EGFR-TKIs. Furthermore, CHM reduces AE induced by EGFR-TKIs. More international multi-centered, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, well-designed clinical trials are needed in future research.

Background and Objective: Previous studies have evaluated the efficacy (OS, overall survival; PFS, progression-free survival; ORR, objective response rate) and adverse events of bevacizumab combined with platinum-based chemotherapy in first-line treatment of advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) compared with chemotherapy alone. However, the results were inconsistent.Methods: We conducted a comprehensive search of PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library for potentially eligible articles. The outcomes were evaluated in terms of risk ratio (RR) or hazard ratio (HR) and the associated 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Meta-analysis was performed using the Stata 12.0 software, and subgroup analyses were performed based on the treatment and bevacizumab dose.Results: Six randomized controlled trials with 2,465 patients were included in this meta-analysis. The results demonstrated that bevacizumab significantly increased OS (HR = 0.87, 95% CI 0.79–0.96), extended PFS (HR = 0.65, 95% CI 0.54–0.77), and increased ORR (ES = 0.40, 95% CI 0.31–0.48) when added to first-line platinum-based chemotherapy in patients with advanced NSCLC. Subgroup analyses showed that only the higher dose (15 mg/kg) of bevacizumab plus carboplatin–paclitaxel significantly extended the OS and PFS, but both 7.5 mg/kg and 15 mg/kg of bevacizumab improved ORR. However, both 7.5 mg/kg and 15 mg/kg of bevacizumab could only increase PFS and ORR, but not extend OS, when added to cisplatin–gemcitabine. Bevacizumab significantly increased the risk of grade ≥3 events of febrile neutropenia, haemorrhagic events, hypertension, leukopenia, neutropenia, and proteinuria.Conclusion: Bevacizumab significantly increases OS, PFS, and ORR when added to first-line platinum-based chemotherapy in patients with advanced NSCLC, with no new safety signals found. Moreover, bevacizumab (15 mg/kg) plus carboplatin–paclitaxel is a better alternative in increasing OS to carboplatin–paclitaxel and bevacizumab (7.5 mg/kg and 15 mg/kg) plus cisplatin–gemcitabine.

Abstract Purpose: First-generation EGFR-TKIs have become the first-line standard treatment for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with EGFR mutations. This study isolates and quantifies circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and evaluates patient prognosis before and after first-line treatment with EGFR-TKIs in advanced NSCLC with EGFR and TP53 mutation.Methods: Patients with advanced NSCLC with EGFR and TP53 mutation were treated with a first-generation EGFR-TKI using a standard daily dose. Continuous blood samples were collected at baseline (CTCs-d0) and 28 days (CTCs-d28), and the isolation by size of tumor cells (ISET) method was used to detect CTCs.Results: The CTC results were divided into favorable (< 5 CTCs) and unfavorable (≥ 5 CTCs) groups. The median progression-free survival (PFS) of patients in the favorable group was significantly longer at baseline compared to those in the unfavorable group (15 vs 7.5 months; p = 0.0055). After 28 days of treatment with first-generation EGFR-TKI, the PFS of patients in the favorable group was 12.5 months, which was significantly longer than the median PFS of 7 months in the unfavorable group (p = 0.0003). After treatment, the PFS of patients with reduced CTCs was significantly better than those with no significant change in CTCs (9 months vs 6 months, p = 0.014). In univariate and multivariate analysis, patients with CTCs-d0 ≥ 5 and CTCs-d28 ≥ 5 had significantly lower PFS when compared to those with CTCs-d0 < 5 and CTCs-d28 < 5, respectively.Conclusion: This study confirmed for the first time that CTC count is closely correlated with prognosis in EGFR- and TP53-mutant advanced NSCLC following first-line treatment with first-generation EGFR-TKIs.
