    Background
    

    In patients who progress on treatment with first- or second-generation EGFR-TKIs, 50–60% will have an EGFR T790M resistance mutation. Osimertinib, a third-generation EGFR-TKI, is FDA approved for use in patients with metastatic EGFR T790M-positive NSCLC and disease progression on or after prior EGFR-TKI therapy, and recently gained additional approval for first-line treatment for patients with EGFR Ex19del/L858R positive advanced NSCLC. We sought to observe how many patients in the real world underwent biomarker testing on progression and subsequently received osimertinib, when T790M positive.

    Flatiron Health EHR-derived database was used to identify adult patients with NSCLC treated with a first- or second-generation EGFR-TKI from 11/2015–09/2017, with the start of first EGFR-TKI defined as the index date. Patients were stratified by EGFR-TKI use as a first (1L) or later line (2L+) treatment. EGFRm status, including T790M testing and subsequent treatments received after initiating first- or second-generation EGFR-TKI, were described. Chart review was conducted on patients who received a subsequent therapy to confirm disease progression.

    Patients in this study (n=782; 1L: n=435; 2L+: n=347) had a median age of 69 years, 64% were female, 56% were white, 87% were seen in the community, with a median follow-up of 307 days. During the study period, 30% (235/782; 1L: 96/435 [22%]; 2L+: 139/347 [40%]) of patients died without receiving a subsequent therapy, and 38% (294/782; 1L: 160/435 [37%]; 2L+: 134/347 [39%]) received subsequent therapies. From post-index date to initiation of subsequent therapies, 30% (88/294; 1L 63/160 [39%]; 2L+ 25/134 [19%]) of patients were tested for EGFR mutations including T790M. Among patients who received subsequent therapies, treatments included chemotherapies (1L=23%; 2L+=37%), immunotherapies (1L=16%; 2L+=43%), and targeted therapies (1L=64%; 2L+=30%). On progression, 25% (1L 40/160) and 5% (2L+ 7/134) of the patients received osimertinib. Of those tested for EGFR mutation post-index date (n=88), 28% (n=25) were positive for T790M and 96% of these (n=24) received osimertinib. Most patients (251/294 [85%]; 1L: 136/160 [85%]; 2L+: 115/134 [86%]) on subsequent therapies were confirmed to have disease progression at chart review.

    In this study, a third of patients were tested for subsequent EGFR mutations including EGFR T790M following treatment with first- or second-generation EGFR-TKI. Of these, a third were positive for T790M and nearly all of the T790M positive patients received osimertinib. These findings highlight low rates of biomarker testing at progression, and the need for optimal treatments that maximize benefits for patients with EGFRm NSCLC.
