      • Abstract

      Background

      Epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKI) revealed their efficacy in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), in patients with EGFR mutated tumors, in large scale of clinical trials. Here we present data from clinical practice, patient characteristics and clinical outcome of consecutive patients treated with gefitinib in first-line setting at the Institute for Oncology and Radiology of Serbia between 2011-2016.

      Previously untreated patients with lung adenocarcinoma in stages IIIB and IV and PS 0 or 1 have been reviewed by institutional multidisciplinary tumor board and selected for molecular EGFR testing since 2011. Patients with activating EGFR mutations (9.5%) received gefitinib, at that time the only approved EGFR TKI for the first line treatment

      Sixty consecutive patients were included in this analysis. M/F ratio was 21/39, median age 60 years, non-smokers 48%, PS 0/1 85%, metastatic sites (more than 5% of patients) were lungs and pleura in 40%, bones in 27%, liver in 15%, pericardium in 10%, brain in 7% of patients. Only one metastatic site was present in 56% of patients, two sites in 35% and three sites in 6%. Del19 and L858R were detected in 82% of patients (del19 55% and L858R 27%) and umcommon mutations in 18%. Median duration of gefitinib treatment was 8 months, median follow-up 12.5 months. Partial response (PR) was achieved in 33% of patients, stable disease (SD) in 47%, progressive disease (PD) in 18%. Type of progression was a new lesson(s) in 20% of patients, progression of existing lesion(s) in 42% and both in 10%. Second-line treatment was administered to 38% of patients, and 63% were dead at the time of analysis. Median overall survival was 19 months, median progression-free survival 12 months. In patients with PR median OS was 26 months, in SD patients 22 months and in PD patients only 5 months. No statistically significant differences were shown in OS with regards to age, gender, M1a/M1b stage, exon19/21 mutations, common/uncommon mutations or different sites of metastatic disease.

      Serbian patients with EGFR mutated lung adenocarcinoma treated with gefitinib in first-line have similar characteristics and outcome compared with published data, particularly when compared with similar analysis on Caucasian population. Probably due to small number of patients, we were not able to select subpopulations of patients with greater benefit from receiving gefitinib
