Abstract

Central nervous system (CNS) metastases are common in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). More than 30% of patients who progress during or after treatment with epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) have CNS metastases. Osimertinib, a third-generation EGFR-TKI, has been demonstrated promising intracranial efficacy in patients with advanced NSCLC from several large scale randomized control trials. We aimed to explore clinical impact of osimertinib for patients with CNS metastases, advanced NSCLC in real world setting. Patients with advanced NSCLC who received osimertinib after progression of prior EGFR-TKIs and CNS metastases on baseline brain scan were retrospectively collected from Cancer Hospital Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences. Primary outcome was objective response rate (ORR) and secondary objectives were disease control rate (DCR), progression-free survival (PFS), time to tumor response, median best percentage change from baseline in CNS target lesion (TL) size and safety. Between Apr 1, 2017, and Dec 30, 2017, 22 patients met selection criteria, 15 with ≥1 measurable CNS lesion (RECIST 1.1) were included in CNS evaluable for response (cEFR) set. The median duration of follow-up was 6.5 months. For overall 22 patients, ORR and DCR were 40.9% and 86.4%, respectively, with median PFS of 8.5 months (95% CI 4.1, 13.0). Of 15 patients in cEFR set, CNS ORR was 53.3% with complete responses reported in 3 patients (20.0%). Median best percentage change from baseline in CNS TL size was -40% (range: -100% ∼ +60%) and median time to CNS tumor response was 1.3 months. CNS DCR was 80.0%. Median CNS PFS was not reached. Safety profile was acceptable and no new unexpected findings were found. This real world analysis further confirmed that osimertinib was indeed demonstrated clinically meaningful efficacy against CNS metastases in Chinese patients with advanced NSCLC.
