    • Abstract

    Background:
    A, an irreversible ErbB family blocker, and G, a reversible EGFR TKI, are approved for 1st-line treatment (tx) of advanced EGFRm+ NSCLC. In LL7, A (40 mg/d) significantly improved PFS (HR 0.73 [95% CI 0.57–0.95], p = 0.017), ORR (70 vs 56%, p = 0.008) and time to tx failure (TTF; HR 0.73 [0.58–0.92], p = 0.007) vs G (250 mg/d) in this setting; the primary OS analyses (data cut-off 8 Apr 16) showed a non-significant difference in OS between A and G (median 27.9 vs 24.5 mos; HR 0.86 [0.66–1.12], p = 0.258) that was consistent across subgroups. Here, we present updated OS data.
    
    Methods:
    LL7 assessed A vs G in tx-naïve pts with EGFRm+ (Del19/L858R) stage IIIb/IV NSCLC. Co-primary endpoints were PFS, TTF and OS. Other endpoints: ORR and AEs.
    
    Results:
    Data cut-off for the updated OS analysis was 12 Dec 16. Median follow-up for OS was 49.2 mos. 73/77% (A/G) of pts had ≥1 subsequent systemic anti-cancer tx after discontinuation of A/G. 48/56% (A/G) received a subsequent EGFR TKI; 31 (19%)/26 (16%) pts (A/G) received a 3[rd]-gen EGFR TKI. Updated median OS was 27.9 vs 24.5 mos with A vs G (HR 0.85 [0.66–1.09], p = 0.1950). Landmark 24-mo and 30-mo OS with A vs G was 61 vs 51% and 48 vs 40%, respectively; 48-mo OS was 28% with A vs 20% with G. In patients treated with A, ≥30-mo survival rates were generally similar across countries of origin and mean average dose received. Similar OS trends were observed with A vs G in pts with Del19 (30.7 vs 26.4 mos; HR 0.82 [0.59–1.15]) and L858R (25.0 vs 21.2 mos; HR 0.89 [0.61–1.31]) mutations. There was a trend towards improved OS with A vs G in pts who received a 3[rd]-gen EGFR TKI (NE vs 48.3 mos; HR 0.49 [0.20–1.19]). In patients treated with A, consistent OS outcomes were observed across age groups (median, mos: 28.9 [<60 years]; 30.1 [<65 years]; 28.9 [<75 years]; 27.9 [≥75 years]). Updated PFS, TTF and ORR (at primary OS data cut-off, 8 Apr 16) were similar to the primary analyses, and all were significantly improved with A vs G; the AE profile of A and G was virtually unchanged since the primary analysis.
    
    Conclusions:
    In this updated OS analysis, there was no significant difference in OS with A vs G. A trend favouring A, generally consistent across subgroups, was observed.
