Abstract

Osimertinib, an irreversible third-generation EGFR-TKI, is the standard of care for second-line treatment of T790M-mutant advanced NSCLC patients whose disease progressed after first-line EGFR-TKI therapy. In this multicenter study, we aimed to determine the real-life efficacy and safety of Osimertinib in pretreated advanced NSCLC patients with T790M mutation. This retrospective trial included advanced T790M-mutant pretreated NSCLC patients who received Osimertinib from 24 different centers in Turkey. Primary endpoint was time-to-treatment discontinuation (TTD). Secondary endpoints were objective response rate (ORR), overall survival (OS), and safety. Of 163 patients, 68.7% had EGFR exon 19 deletion and 22.7% had exon 21 L858R mutation. Osimertinib was given as second-line treatment in 96 patients (58.9%) and third-line in 48 patients (29.4%). After median of 13-month follow-up, median TTD was 21.6months with an 82.2% ORR. Estimated median OS was 32.1months. Grade 3-4 adverse events were seen in 11.7% of the patients. Osimertinib is a highly effective option in second- or third-line treatment of NSCLC patients with T790M mutation, with a favorable safety profile.

Highlights

  • Osimertinib, an irreversible third-generation Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), is the standard of care for second-line treatment of T790M-mutant advanced Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients whose progressed after first-line EGFR-TKI therapy

  • Osimertinib was given as second-line treatment in 96 patients (58.9%) and third-line in 48 patients (29.4%)

  • First-generation EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) (Erlotinib, Gefitinib), and secondgeneration TKI, Afatinib were the standard of care options for first-line treatment of advanced NSCLC with EGFR exon 19 deletion and 21 mutations

Summary

Introduction

Osimertinib, an irreversible third-generation EGFR-TKI, is the standard of care for second-line treatment of T790M-mutant advanced NSCLC patients whose progressed after first-line EGFR-TKI therapy. T790M mutation occurs in exon 20 of the EGFR gene, converts ATP-binding pocket of the receptor to a nonpolar, hydrophobic state which interferes with drug-binding and causes a lack of efficacy [4]. This point mutation was demonstrated in 60% of the patients at the time of progression [5]
