Bone metastases, occurring in 30–60% of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), are associated with decreased survival, cancer-induced bone pain, and skeletal-related events (SREs). Those with an activating epidermal growth factor mutation (EGFR+) seem to be more prone to develop bone metastases. To gain more insight into bone metastases-related outcomes in EGFR+ NSCLC, we performed a systematic review on Pubmed (2006–2021). Main inclusion criteria: prospective, phase II/III trials evaluating EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors, ≥10 EGFR+ patients included, data on bone metastases and/or bone-related outcomes available. Out of 663 articles, 21 (3176 EGFR+ patients) met the eligibility criteria; 4 phase III (one double blind), 17 phase II trials (three randomized) were included. In seven trials dedicated bone imaging was performed at baseline. Mean incidence of bone metastases at diagnosis was 42%; 3–33% had progression in the bone upon progression. Except for one trial, it was not specified whether the use of bone target agents was permitted, and in none of the trials, occurrence of SREs was reported. Despite the high incidence of bone metastases in EGFR+ adenocarcinoma, there is a lack of screening for, and reporting on bone metastases in clinical trials, as well as permitted bone-targeted agents and SREs.

Phase III randomized, open label study (ARCHER 1050) of first-line dacomitinib (D) versus gefitinib (G) for advanced (adv) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in patients (pts) with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) activating mutation(s).

TPS8123 Background: D is an orally available, potent and selective irreversible small molecule inhibitor of all catalytically active members of the HER (human epidermal growth factor receptor) family tyrosine kinases that has shown activity in preclinical studies on EGFR mutant cell lines, including those resistant to G. In a phase II trial of NSCLC pts who received 1st-line D, 75.6% of 45 pts with confirmed EGFR exon 19 or 21 sensitizing mutations (m) experienced a partial response (PR). The median progression-free survival (PFS) was 18.2 mo, and the PFS rate at 1 yr was 76.5% (preliminary data; Mok et al APLCC 2012). Methods: Based on the phase II data, a phase III randomized, open label trial (ARCHER 1050; NCT01774721) was designed to compare the efficacy of 1st line D with G in pts with adv EGFR m-positive NSCLC. Eligible pts (N=440) have pathologically confirmed stage IIIB/IV NSCLC with at least one activating EGFR m, either exon 19 deletion or exon 21 L858R m. Concurrent m in exon 20 T790M is permitted. Pts must have radiologically measurable disease, ECOG PS 0–1 and no prior systemic therapy. Pts will be randomized (1:1) to receive D 45 mg or G 250 mg orally once daily. The primary endpoint is PFS by Independent Radiologic Review. Secondary endpoints include PFS by investigator assessment, overall survival (OS), OS at 30 mo, best overall response, duration of response, and safety and tolerability. Pt-reported outcomes (HRQoL and disease/treatment-related symptoms) were also assessed. Randomization will be stratified by race (Japanese vs mainland Chinese vs other East Asian vs nonEEast Asian), and EGFR m status (exon 19 deletion vs exon 21 L858R m). A minimum of 268 PFS events is required for 90% power to detect a PFS improvement of ≥50% in D vs G recipients using the intent-to-treat (ITT) analysis population (HR ≤0.667). A significant (0.025 significance level) 1-sided stratified log-rank test for PFS at the final PFS analysis will be indicative of a positive study outcome. An interim analysis is planned to assess safety and whether early discontinuation of the trial is required for futility. Clinical trial information: NCT01774721.

Abstract Background: The purpose of this study is to analyze the registered clinical trials of COVID-19, and to provide a reference for the clinical treatment of COVID-19. Methods: Chinese ClinicalTrial Registry (ChiCTR) and Clinicaltrials.gov databases were searched for clinical trials of COVID-19, which were registered from inception to February 29, 2020, to screen out the clinical trials on the treatment of COVID-19, and the research units and regions, sample size, study types, study stages, and intervention measures were analyzed. Results: There were 226 clinical trials on COVID-19 in the 2 databases, and all of them were registered by research units in China. The top five registered areas were Hubei, Beijing, Shanghai, Guangdong, and Zhejiang. The study type was as follows: interventional study (207, 91.6%) and observational study (18, 8.0%). Clinical trial staging was as follows: exploratory studies/preliminary trials (91, 40.3%), phase I trials (4, 1.8%), phase II trials (12, 5.3%), phase III trials (12, 5.3%), phase IV trials (47, 20.8%), phase I/II trials (2, 0.9%), phase II/III trials (5, 2.2%), and other trials (57, 25.2%). Intervention measures were as follows: there were 143 (63.3%) trials of western medicine treatment, 50 (22.1%) trials of Chinese medicine treatment, and 21 (9.3%) trials of integrated Chinese medicine treatment and western medicine treatment. Conclusion: Researchers have registered a large number of clinical trials in a short time. The number of existing patients of COVID-19 is not enough to support hundreds of clinical trials. There is a lack of multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials.

Lapatinib is an oral dual inhibitor of epidermal growth factor receptor (HER1/ErbB1/EGFR) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2/ErbB2) which was approved for use in patients with metastatic breast cancer in 2007. In this review, we discuss the quality of life (QOL) results for patients on clinical trials of lapatinib. Six clinical trials, including 4 phase III and 2 phase II trials, were identified for which QOL outcomes have been reported. The trials generally showed stability of QOL during lapatinib therapy with no trial showing a detrimental effect of lapatinib on QOL. With these results, a discussion of the role of QOL assessments in patients with breast cancer is presented.

Vandetanib ist ein oraler Hemmer des RET-Kinase-, VEGF (Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptor)- und EGFR (Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor)-Signalwegs. In einer zulassungsrelevanten, randomisierten, doppelblinden, placebokontrollierten Phase- III-Studie verlängerte der Tyrosinkinasehemmer das progressionsfreie Überleben (PFS) signifikant länger als Placebo.
