Osimertinib shows strong clinical activity in first- and second-line treatment of nonsmall-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations, especially EGFR T790M. However, when patients develop resistance, there is currently no definite postosimertinib treatment option. Herein, we report a patient with metastatic NSCLC who benefited from almonertinib after developing resistance to osimertinib.

The efficacy of second-line treatment in patients with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) wild-type tumours is still debatable. We assessed the efficacy of a standard second-line chemotherapy compared with erlotinib in an individual patient data approach for meta-analysis. The primary endpoint was overall survival (OS), and secondary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS). Both were compared by log-rank test. The ‘restricted mean survival time’ (RMST) was estimated in each study and the difference in mean survival time up to the last available time point was calculated. The Cox proportional hazards model was used on survival analyses to provide HRs, to adjust for confounding variables and to test possible interaction with selected factors. Three randomised trials comparing chemotherapy versus erlotinib were analysed, including 587 randomised patients. Overall, 74% of patients included in the original trials were considered. 464 deaths and 570 progressions or deaths were observed. Compared with erlotinib, chemotherapy was associated to a decreased risk of progression (29%; HR: 0.71, 95% CI: 0.60 to 0.84, p< 0.0001;) but with no statistical significant reduction in OS (HR: 0.89, 95% CI: 0.74 to 1.06; p<0.20). No heterogeneity was found in both analyses. Patients treated with chemotherapy gained an absolute 1.5 and 1.6 months, respectively, in PFS and lifetime (RMST 95% CI: PFS 0.49 to 2.44; OS 95% CI: −1.04 to 4.25). These results showed that patients without a constitutively activated EGFR had better PFS with chemotherapy rather than with erlotinib while no statistical difference was observed in OS.

e19166 Background: The efficacy of comparing the EGFR-TKI with standard chemotherapy in the second-line treatment of advanced NSCLC with wide-type EGFR were still controversial. To derive a more precise estimation of the two regimens, a meta-analysis was performed. Methods: Medical databases and conference proceedings were searched for randomized controlled trials which compared EGFR-TKI (gefitinib or erlotinib) with standard second-line chemotherapy (docetaxel or pemetrexed) in patients with NSCLC. Endpoints were overall survival, progression-free survival and overall response. Results: Three eligible trials (INTEREST, TITAN and TAILOR) were identified. Lacking for data of overall survival of TAILOR trial, So we only make a preliminary meta-analysis for overall survival. The intention to treatment (ITT) analysis demonstrated that the patients receiving EGFR-TKI had a significantly shorter progression-free survival (PFS) than patients treated with chemotherapy (hazard ratio (HR) = 1.31; 95% confidence intervals (CI) = 1.10-1.56; P = 0.002). The overall survival (OS) and overall response rate (ORR) were coparable between this two groups (HR = 0.96; 95%CI = 0.77-1.19; P = 0.69; relative risk (RR) = 0.37; 95%CI = 0.09-1.54; P = 0.17). Conclusions: Although chemotherapy had a clear superiority in PFS as second-line treatment for patients without EGFR mutations compared with EGFR-TKI, OS and ORR were equal in this two regimens. The toxicity profiles might play an important role in the decision to choose EGFR-TKI or chemotherapy. These findings still need to be verified in larger confirmatory studies in future.

AbstractObjective:Although depression appears to be associated with worse survival from cancer, the underlying mechanisms of this association are unknown. Tumor epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) genotype is a known predictor of survival in metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and appears to be associated with depression. We hypothesized that tumor EGFR genotype may account for a relationship between depression and survival in this population. We investigated this possible relationship in a cohort of patients with metastatic NSCLC, in which we had previously demonstrated an association between depression and worse survival.Method:A cohort of 151 patients with newly diagnosed metastatic NSCLC were enrolled and followed in a randomized controlled trial of early palliative care. At enrollment, 150 had depression assessed with the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), and categorical scoring for major depressive syndrome (MDS) was used for analyses. Patients with tumor tissue available underwent EGFR genotyping. Associations with survival were tested using Cox proportional hazards models, adjusting for potential confounders.Results:Twenty-one patients (14.0%) met criteria for MDS. Forty-four patients (29.3%) had EGFR genotyping, and 17 (38.6%) of these harbored EGFR mutations. Patients with EGFR mutations had significantly lower PHQ-9 scores (p = 0.03), and none met criteria for depression. EGFR mutations were significantly associated with superior survival (p = 0.02). When both depression and EGFR genotype were simultaneously entered into the model, only EGFR mutations remained significantly associated with survival (p = 0.02), and the effect of depression was attenuated.Significance of results:Depression is associated with worse survival in metastatic NSCLC, and this relationship may be at least partially explained by tumor EGFR genotype. Further study into whether depression could be associated with specific biologic properties of cancer that vary by genotype is warranted.
