      Background:
      Since the epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI) was launched in Japan, the survival periods of advanced/recurrent EGFR mutation positive (EGFR m+) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients have been getting longer. However, clinical factors which contributed to the extension of survival periods of these patients remain unclear. We investigated overall survival, prognostic factors and treatments patterns of EGFR m+ NSCLC patients in real-world clinical practice.

      Methods:
      This is a multi-center, observational, retrospective study. Histologically or cytologically diagnosed EGFR m+ NSCLC patients who were started first-line treatment from 1/1/2008 to 31/12/2012 were enrolled. The primary objective was the estimated OS. The secondary objectives were to determine prognostic factors, real-world treatment patterns.

      Results:
      1,660 EGFR m+ NSCLC patients were enrolled from 17 hospitals in Japan (median age 67.0 years, female 64.8%, 38.9% had smoking history, ECOG-performance status 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 were 39.5%, 41.1%, 7.1%, 4.9%, 0.7%, respectively, adenocarcinoma 95.2%, 50.1% exon 19 deletion, 66.7% at stage IV). Median estimated OS was 29.7 months. Cox regression analysis revealed age, smoking history, performance status, histological diagnosis, EGFR mutation type and clinical stage were independently associated with OS. Five year survival rate of stage IV patients was 13.8%. The median number of treatment regimens was two. EGFR-TKI and platinum-doublet chemotherapy were most frequently used as first- and second-line treatments.

      Conclusion:
      Real world treatment of the large data-set of 1,660 EGFR m+ NSCLC patients was retrospectively investigated. Median OS was 29.7 months and EGFR-TKIs are major components of the treatment regimens for these patients in Japan. (NCT0247520)

      P2.03b-017 - Differences of Central Nerve System Metastasis during Gefitinib or Erlotinib Therapy in Patients with EGFR-Mutated Lung Adenocarcinoma (ID 4879)

      Background:
      A few reports have suggested a difference in the incidences of new metastasis to the central nerve system (CNS) during gefitinib and erlotinib therapy. However, a direct comparison of these two therapies has not yet been reported. We planned a retrospective study to investigate the incidences of CNS metastasis progression (new CNS metastasis or progression of existing CNS metastasis) during gefitinib and erlotinib therapy in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring EGFR mutation.

      Methods:
      We retrospectively analyzed the incidences of CNS metastasis progression and the outcomes of NSCLC patients harboring EGFR mutation who received gefitinib or erlotinib as a first-line EGFR-TKI treatment at the National Cancer Center Hospital between 2008 and 2014.

      Results:
      A total of 175 patients were analyzed; 148 patients had received gefitinib, and 27 had received erlotinib. The median (range) ages were 64.5 (32-81) years and 62.0 (27-68) years, respectively; exon 19 deletion/L858R point mutations were present in 84/64 (56.7%/43.3%) and 17/10 (63.0%/37.0%) cases, respectively. The status of CNS metastasis before EGFR-TKI therapy was negative/positive in 105/43 (71.0%/29.0%) cases in the gefitinib group and 21/6 (77.8%/22.2%) cases in the erlotinib group, respectively. The incidence of CNS metastasis progression in the gefitinib group tended to be higher than that in the erlotinib group (29.0% vs. 11.1%; P = 0.051). In patients without CNS metastasis before EGFR-TKI therapy, the incidence of new CNS metastasis during EGFR-TKI treatment was significantly higher in the gefitinib group than in the erlotinib group (24.7% vs. 4.8%, P = 0.04). The progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) periods of the patients who presented with CNS progression were shorter than those of the patients who presented without CNS progression (median PFS, 9.5 vs. 12.6 months, P = 0.034; median OS, 23.8 vs. 34.1 months, P = 0.002). Fifty-six patients underwent re-biopsy after the failure of EGFR-TKI therapy, but no difference in the incidences of EGFR T790M mutation was seen between patients with and those without CNS metastasis progression (40.0% for patients without CNS progression vs. 63.6% for patients with CNS metastasis progression, P = 0.19).

      Conclusion:
      The incidence of the progression of CNS metastasis during gefitinib therapy was higher than that during erlotinib therapy. In addition, the difference in this incidence was more remarkable among patients who had not developed CNS metastasis prior to the start of EGFR-TKI therapy.
