      Background:
      EGFR TKI treatment is standard of care in patients with metastasized NSCLC carrying an activating EGFR mutation. Targeted therapies achieve a higher ORR, OS, PFS and a better quality of life than chemotherapy in mt+ patients. With the advent of 2[nd] and 3[rd] generation TKÍs effective in 1[st] generation TKI resistant tumors, we wanted to study the impact of these drugs on the outcome of patients in a real life setting in 3 lung cancer centers.

      Methods:
      1477 patients from three cancer centers diagnosed with non-squamous cell NSCLC stage IV (UICC 7) were examined. Methods for the mutation testing was performed according to the German Oncopedia guidelines using either Sanger Sequencing or COBAS® or Next Generation Sequencing (hybrid capture NGS, New Oncology Cologne).

      Results:
      945/1477 (64%) consecutive patients with non-squamous cell NSCLC from three cancer centers were studied for the presence of tumor mutations, especially for EGFR and ALK mutations. The EGFR mutation rate was 16% (149/912), and the ALK-translocation rate 4% (26/700). Median OS in EGFR mt+ patients was 23 months (n = 154) compared to 11 months (n = 763) in patients with EGFR WT (p < 0.001). Median OS in EGFR mt+ patients depending on the center was 23 (n = 102) vs. 28 (n = 38) vs. 16 (n = 14) months respectively (center 1 vs. center 2 vs. center 3). Median OS in ALK mt+ patients was 24 months (n = 19) in center 1, 11 months (n = 5) in center 2 and in center 3 median OS was not reached (p < 0.025). The use of 3[rd] generation TKI Osimertinib lead to a significantly higher OS (n = 21, median OS 55 months) than the use of only 1[st] and 2[nd] generation TKI (n = 118, median OS 22 months, p < 0.001). The hazard ratio HR for patients treated without Osimertinib was 2.77 [95% CI 1.454–5.305] (p < 0.002). Similarly, use of 2[nd] and 3[rd] generation ALKi impacted significantly on median OS: Crizotinib alone (n = 7), 17 months, Crizotinib followed by Ceritinib and/or Brigatinib/Alectinib (n = 13) median OS was not reached and 3 months for other therapies (n = 6) (p < 0.000).

      Conclusions:
      Small differences in OS were observed, depending on the treatment centers, but the use of multiple EGFR and ALK-I impacted highly significantly on the outcome of patients with EGFR and ALK-alterations in a real life setting.
