Background
Differences in tumor biology and cancer therapy in early stage lung cancer may affect overall survival (OS) of patients with relapsed stage IV disease compared to others with de-novo stage IV disease. This study aimed to compare real-world survival of these patients.
Method
We selected patients with advanced NSCLC diagnosed between 2011 and 2017, who received at least one line of therapy, from the US Flatiron Health electronic health record-derived database. Patient data was collected through June 2018, providing at least 6 months of follow-up.
OS was defined as time from advanced or metastatic diagnosis to the event of death, censored at last clinic visit or end of oral therapy. The unadjusted OS of patients was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. We fit multivariable Cox proportional hazards models to compare the hazard of death between groups.
Result
The study included 30,310 patients with median age of 68.8 years, 46.7% female, and 76.8% non-Hispanic white. We observed 22.8% had relapsed and 77.2% were de-novo stage IV. Relapsed patients had median OS of 15.5 months (95% CI: 14.9-16.2). Patients with de-novo stage IV had median overall survival of 12.0 months (95% CI: 11.7-12.2). The force of mortality among relapsed stage IV patients was 24% lower than the rate of death among de-novo stage IV patients (Hazard Ratio [HR]: 0.76; 95% CI 0.73-0.79; p <0.001), adjusting for age, gender, state, histology, smoking, race/ethnicity, and stratifying by year of diagnosis. Sensitivity analyses of an unadjusted model (HR 0.79, p <0.001) and a sub-group analysis of patients with advanced diagnoses in 2016-2017 (HR 0.74, p <0.001) suggested the results were robust.
Among patients with stage IV NSCLC that received at least one treatment, those who relapsed had better OS than those who presented with de-novo stage IV disease. These findings have implications for future clinical trial design.
