      127P - Obesity has an impact on the efficacy of EGFR-TKI in NSCLC patients harbouring EGFR mutation: A real-world study (ID 485)

      • Abstract

      Background

      EGFR-TKI has become the standard-of-care therapy for advanced NSCLC harbouring EGFR mutation. However, the efficacy varies widely, suggestive of other confounding factors. Obesity is related to the etiology, morbidity, and mortality of cancer. However, its impact on the efficacy of EGFR-TKI remains unknown.

      This was a multi-center, real-world study conducted in 3 tertiary referring medical centers. Treatment-naive metastatic NSCLC patients harbouring EGFR mutation who were prescribed with TKI (gefitinib, erlotinib, or icotinib) were enrolled. Body Mass Index (BMI) was proposed as the indicator of obesity. The PFS of all patients were collected and analyzed.

      The training cohort (n = 321) consisted consecutive patients in West China Hospital from Sept 2010 to Jul 2018. The total PFS was 12.1m (95%CI: 11.2-13.0m). Those with a high BMI (>22.8) achieved a longer PFS than their counterparts (10.9 and 13.8 m, HR 0.68, 95% CI: 0.54-0.86, P = 0.001). Although the cut-off value was set-up by ROC analysis, the superiority was irrespective of the artificially-defined cut-off value (median 22.9, quadrant value 22.5 or 25). Additionally, the difference was confirmed in an independent validation cohort (n = 108) in 3 tertiary referring medical centers. The PFS was 11.3 and 13.7 m (HR 0.74, 95% CI: 0.61-0.91, P = 0.004). Interestingly, the influence of obesity was restricted in men (HR 0.45, 95% CI: 0.31-0.65, P<0.0001), while not in women (HR 0.89, 95% CI: 0.66-1.2, P = 0.47).

      High BMI is associated with improved outcomes in advanced NSCLC, primarily in men.
