Abstract

e21112 Background: EGFR exon 19 deletions (del19) are largely considered to have uniform sensitivity to EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). Approximately 70% of del19 tumors harbor the most common deletion, E756_A750del; however, many “uncommon” variants comprise the remainder of this group. In preclinical studies, the uncommon del19, L747_A750 > P, demonstrates diminished sensitivity to the third generation TKI, osimertinib [. Identifying differences in clinical outcomes with osimertinib treatment could have therapeutic implications for patients (pts) with EGFR del19 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods: We conducted a multi-center retrospective cohort study of pts with metastatic EGFR del19 NSCLC treated with osimertinib. We compared progression free survival (PFS, time from TKI initiation to clinically significant growth of existing lesions or new lesions on imaging or death) and overall survival (OS) of pts with tumors harboring E746_A750del and L747_A750 > P who received osimertinib in the first line (1L) or in second or later lines of therapy and were T790M+ (≥2L). The Kaplan Meier method and Cox model were used to estimate PFS and OS, and multivariable logistic regression was used to estimate the odds of achieving PFS > 12 months. Multivariable analyses adjusted for baseline covariates- age, sex, race, and smoking. Results: From March 2013 to December 2021, 86 pts with EGFR E746_A750del and 36 with L747_A750 > P were treated with osimertinib. For 1L osimertinib, E746_A750del was associated with significantly prolonged PFS vs. L747_A750 > P (median 21.3 months (95% CI 17.0-31.7) vs. 11.7 months (10.8-29.4)) in the adjusted analysis (hazard ratio [HR] 0.52 [95% CI, 0.28-0.98, p = 0.043]). Pts with the common del19 mutation were more likely to achieve PFS > 12 months with 1L osimertinib than those with the L747_A750 > P mutation (Odds Ratio 4.14 (1.41-12.15), p 0.0097). OS exhibited a similar trend with a median OS that that was not reached (NR) at 40 months of follow-up among those with E746_A750del vs 26 months for L747_A750 > P (adjusted HR 0.52 [95% CI, 0.23-1.19], p = 0.120). For pts treated with ≥2L osimertinib, there was also a trend towards favorable PFS and OS for pts with tumors harboring E746_A750del. Conclusions: The del19 mutation L747_A750 > P is associated with inferior PFS compared to the common E746_A750del mutation in pts treated with 1L osimertinib. Understanding differences in osimertinib efficacy among EGFR del19 subtypes could alter management of these pts in the future.[Table: see text]
