P1.16-36 - Treatment Patterns Among Patients with EGFRm NSCLC Treated in the US Community Oncology Setting (ID 1582)
09:45 - 18:00 | Author(s): Ancilla W. Fernandes
- Abstract
Background
Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy is associated with improved outcomes in patients with EGFR mutation-positive (EGFRm) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Despite initial responses, most patients develop resistance. Little is known about treatment following first-line (1L) TKIs. This study aimed to understand real world treatment patterns, T790M testing rates, and disposition of EGFRm patients following availability of newer TKIs.
Method
Adult patients with EGFRm stage IV NSCLC treated between Dec 1, 2015 and Aug 31, 2017, were retrospectively identified from the US Oncology Network’s iKnowMedSM (iKM) electronic health record. Patient characteristics, treatment patterns, and T790M testing data were obtained via programmatic database abstraction and supplemented with chart review.
Result
308 patients were identified during the study period. Median age at diagnosis was 69 years, 67% were female, 63% Caucasian, 49% never smokers and 59% with ECOG performance status 0–1. Nearly all patients (n=302; 98%) received treatment with a TKI, 80% (n=246) with a TKI as 1L therapy. The most frequently used TKIs as 1L monotherapy were erlotinib (n=204; 66%), afatinib (n=27; 9%), and gefitinib (n=3; 1%). Combination chemotherapy with or without a TKI was used in 24% of patients. Among all patients treated with a 1L TKI, 19% (n=47) were tested for the T790M mutation after 1L TKI, and 34% (n=16) were positive. The most common 2L therapies in patients who received a 1L TKI (n=44 patients) were pemetrexed-based chemotherapy (n=20; 45%), afatinib (n=7; 16%), and osimertinib (n=7; 16%). Among all patients who received a 1L TKI, 15% (n=41) had died, 18% (n=51) were still alive and on TKI therapy, 12% (n=29) went on to receive subsequent therapy, and 53% (n=149) stopped their TKI and received no subsequent therapy at the end of the follow-up period.
Conclusion
The majority of patients with EGFRm advanced NSCLC received 1L TKI therapy, most often with erlotinib. Following 1L TKI, less than 20% of patients were tested for T790M, and most did not receive any subsequent therapy following TKI. As understanding of resistance mechanisms in mutation-driven lung cancer is rapidly evolving, and as ongoing studies evaluate optimal treatments, it is imperative to integrate this information into clinical practice.

P2.14-59 - Osimertinib in EGFR T790M Advanced NSCLC: Analysis of Uncommon/Complex EGFR Mutations in a Real-World Study (ASTRIS) (ID 1263)
10:15 - 18:15 | Author(s): Ancilla W. Fernandes
- Abstract
Background
The challenges of treating uncommon/complex EGFR mutations impact treatment decisions in clinical practice. Osimertinib is a third-generation, irreversible, oral EGFR-TKI that potently and selectively inhibits both EGFR-TKI sensitising (EGFRm) and EGFR T790M mutations and has demonstrated efficacy in NSCLC CNS metastases. ASTRIS is an ongoing, international, real-world study of osimertinib in EGFR T790M positive advanced NSCLC (NCT02474355). We report a subset-analysis of patients with uncommon/complex mutations.
Method
Patients with stage IIIB/IV T790M positive NSCLC previously treated with an EGFR-TKI were enrolled and received osimertinib 80 mg once-daily. Progression-free survival (PFS), clinical response and time to treatment discontinuation (TTD) were analysed in both full analysis set (FAS) and patients with uncommon/complex EGFR mutations. Uncommon mutation combinations included: T790M+G719X, T790M+S768I, T790M+ex20ins; complex mutations included T790M+two or more mutation(s).
Result
From 18 September 2015 to 15 October 2018 data cut-off, 3015 patients across 16 countries had received ≥1 dose of osimertinib (FAS), 53(2%) of these patients had uncommon/complex EGFR mutations. Baseline demographics between this patient subset and the FAS were similar (Asian: 55%/69%; female: 57%/64%; median age: 59 [30–80] years/62 [range, 27–92]; WHO performance status 2: 9%/11%, respectively). Baseline EGFR mutation status at enrolment of the FAS is shown in Table 1. Clinical outcomes appeared to be lower in the uncommon/complex mutation subset than in the FAS: response rate (measured in a FAS subset with ≥1 documented response assessment) was 50% [95% CI, 35.2, 64.8] in the uncommon/complex mutation group, and 57% [55.2, 58.9] in the FAS; median PFS was 8.1 [5.4, 10.1] and 11.1 [11.0, 12.0] months; median TTD was 9.0 [6.7, 11.5] and 13.5 [12.6, 13.9] months, respectively. Overall survival data are immature.
Conclusion
Whilst clinical outcomes appeared to be lower in the uncommon/complex mutation subset than the FAS, they were favourable and support use of osimertinib 80mg in this heterogeneous population.
