Abstract

PurposeOsimertinib is an oral, irreversible epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) targeted for both EGFR sensitizing mutations and T790M resistance mutation in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We assessed efficacy and safety of osimertinib in patients with pretreated NSCLC in a real-world setting.Patients and methodsNinety-four patients with advanced NSCLC who received osimertinib after progression of prior EGFR-TKIs or chemotherapy treatments were retrospectively collected.ResultsIn patients evaluable for response analysis (n = 91), overall objective response rate (ORR) was 47.3%, and disease control rate (DCR) was 90.1%. Median duration of response (DoR) in responding patients was 12.5 months (95% confidence interval [CI], 10.7 to 14.3). Median progression-free survival (PFS) was 8.5 months (95% CI, 7.4 to 9.6) in 2nd line group, 9.1 months (95% CI, 6.6 to 11.6) in ≥3rd line group, and 8.6 months (95% CI, 7.2 to 10.0) in overall population. For subgroup analysis, DCR and median PFS were 91.9% and 8.6 months (95% CI, 7.2 to 10.0) in patients with detectable T790M mutation, respectively, while 80.0% and 3.2 months (95% CI, 0.5 to 5.9) for those without. Median PFS was significantly longer for T790M-positive patients co-occurring with exon19del than with L858R (17.9 months vs 7.3 months; P<0.001). Among 45 patients with metastases to the central nervous system (CNS), median systemic PFS was 8.8 months (95% CI, 6.9 to 10.7), while intracranial time to progression (iTTP) was not reached. Safety profile was acceptable, no adverse events (AEs) related deaths was observed.ConclusionOsimertinib was highly active in patients with pretreated advanced NSCLC who harbored EGFR T790M mutation, with manageable side-effects.
