T790m Mutation

Tyrosine kinase inhibitors of the first, second and third generations are the main treatment method for non-small cell lung cancer with EGFR mutation. About 60% of patients progressing on a first-generation or second-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor acquire T790M mutation. An alternative is first-line osimertinib, but second-line treatment options are limited, and therefore it is important to find a strategy that allows to extend the effective treatment of TKI. One of the rational approaches is the use of a combination of a first-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor with anti-VEGF agents. The available information sources show an increase in the effectiveness of the combined use of erlotinib and antiangiogenic drugs-bevacizumab and ramucirumab. The combination of erlotinib and bevacizumab in several studies of the second — third phase, led to a statistically significant increase in progression-free survival, but did not show a significant increase in overall survival. In the Phase 3 RELAY study, the combination of erlotinib and ramucirumab showed comparable efficacy with the third-generation TKI — osimertinib in the first line, however, overall survival results are not yet available. At the same time, there are more opportunities to choose the secondline mode, taking into account the known frequency of detection of the T790M mutation. The optimal treatment sequence is discussed, with the option of prescribing a combination of erlotinib with bevacizumab or ramucirumab in the first line and osimertinib in the second in the presence of the T790M mutation. In such patients, osimertinib may be prescribed in the second line.

Aim: EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) vary in efficacy, side effects (SEs) and dosing regimen. We explored EGFR-TKI treatment attribute preferences in EGFR mutation-positive metastatic non-small-cell lung cancer. Materials & methods: Patients completed a survey utilizing preference elicitation methods: direct elicitation of four EGFR-TKI profiles describing progression-free survival (PFS), severe SE risk, administration; discrete choice experiment involving 12 choice tasks. Results: 90 participated. The preferred profile (selected 89% of times) had the longest PFS (18 months) and the lowest severe SE risk (5%). Patients would need compensation with ≥three-times longer PFS for severe SEs. Patients would accept ≤7 months PFS reduction for oral treatments versus intravenous. Conclusion: Patients preferred longer PFS but were willing to accept reduced PFS for more favorable SEs and dosing convenience.

Osimertinib is a third-generation epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) approved for the treatment of metastatic EGFR T790M mutation-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in patients failing previous TKI therapy. The T790M mutation is an acquired resistance mechanism found in over half of patients with NSCLC progressing on first-generation TKIs. First- and second-generation TKIs do not inhibit the T790M mutation at clinically relevant concentrations. Osimertinib is selective for mutated forms of EGFR, including the TKI-sensitizing mutations L858R and exon 19 deletions, as well as the acquired T790M resistance mutation. In a trial comparing osimertinib to platinum doublet therapy among patients with the T790M mutation progressing on first-line TKI therapy, median progression-free survival was significantly longer in patients receiving osimertinib. Osimertinib has a favorable safety profile compared to platinum-doublet chemotherapy. Common adverse events include diarrhea, skin rash, dry skin, and paronychia; however, because it spares wild-type EGFR, these toxicities appear to occur with less frequency and severity compared to other TKIs. Serious, but rare, adverse events include pneumonitis, interstitial lung disease-like events, QT interval prolongation, and reduced ejection fraction. Osimertinib has the unique ability to distribute readily into brain tissue compared with other TKIs, giving it a potential role in the treatment and/or prevention of CNS metastases; future studies are warranted in this area. An ongoing study evaluating osimertinib versus first-generation TKIs as first-line treatment for patients with EGFR mutation-positive NSCLC may help to define the role of osimertinib as front-line therapy.

Aim: Osimertinib is a key drug for EGFR mutation-positive non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). As the hazards ratio of overall survival in comparison with first-generation EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors was almost similar between FLAURA and ARCHER 1050, salvage use of osimertinib is still a treatment option. Patients & methods: We retrospectively analyzed the clinical courses of EGFR mutation-positive NSCLC patients who were potential candidates for salvage osimertinib. Results: Among 524 patients enrolled from five hospitals, 302 patients underwent biopsy, with 52.6% detection rate of T790M. Osimertinib was administered in 93.6% of the T790M-positive patients. The overall response rate and median progression-free survival time of osimertinib were calculated with 147 patients, to be 55.6% and 17.2 months, respectively. Conclusion: Osimertinib is active for T790M-driven acquired resistance in EGFR-mutant NSCLC, but the detection of T790M was unsatisfactory.
