      Background

      A global named patient use (NPU) program for afatinib in patients with advanced/metastatic NSCLC who had progressed during prior therapy was conducted between May 2010 and January 2016 (Cappuzzo F et al, Future Oncol 2018). Here we describe treatment outcomes for patients at Asian centers.

      Eligible patients had progressed after clinical benefit on prior erlotinib/gefitinib and/or had an activating EGFR/HER2 mutation, had exhausted all other treatments, and were ineligible for afatinib trials. Patients received afatinib (starting dose:30-50 mg/day). Dose modifications were allowed as tolerated. Time to treatment failure (TTF) was calculated from treatment initiation to discontinuation. Adverse event (AE) reporting was mandatory.

      Data were collected from 2242 NSCLC patients across 10 Asian countries. Patients were heavily pretreated, 62% received ≥2 prior chemotherapy lines, and for most, afatinib was 4th-line therapy; almost all had received erlotinib/gefitinib (Table 1). 97% of patients with known tumor status were EGFR mutation-positive (m+). Median TTF was 7.6 months overall, and 7.2 months in patients with EGFR m+ tumors (Table 1). TTF was >12 months in patients with EGFR exon20 insertions and Her2 mutations. ORR was numerically higher in patients with exon20 insertions and G719X/L861Q/S761I mutations than other subgroups (Table 1). Disease control rate was 78% overall. The most frequently reported AEs were rash and diarrhea; no new/unexpected safety signals were identified.

      This analysis from Asian countries in the afatinib NPU program revealed clinically meaningful TTF/ORR in this heavily pre-treated and refractory advanced NSCLC patient population, including activity in common and uncommon EGFR mutations. TTF was numerically longer in patients with uncommon mutations (particularly EGFR exon20 insertions) and HER2 mutations than in those with common EGFR mutations. The safety profile of afatinib was consistent with non-Asian centers.
