Abstract
Purpose: The third-generation epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), osimertinib, is an effective first-line therapy for patients with common EGFR mutation-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, almost all patients become resistant to treatment. In some patients, emergence of tertiary EGFR mutations is implicated as a resistance mechanism. This study describes patients with NSCLC who acquired the rare EGFR mutations, L718Q or G724S, following EGFR TKI treatment. Patients and Methods: This was a retrospective, observational study undertaken in France from Feb–Nov 2021, in patients with EGFR mutation-positive NSCLC with an acquired L718Q or G724S mutation. Primary objectives were description of tumor characteristics, progression, and progression under treatment. Results: Nine eligible patients were identified. Acquired resistance to initial EGFR TKI treatment was associated with T790M emergence in six patients, who then received osimertinib monotherapy. Overall, eight patients received osimertinib monotherapy treatment at some point (average treatment duration: 18.3 months). Following the emergence of L718Q or G724S, patients received chemotherapy (n = 4; two of whom subsequently received afatinib), nivolumab (n = 2), afatinib (n = 2), or immunochemotherapy (n = 1). In the four patients who received afatinib after identification of L718Q or G724S, 2 achieved a partial response, one had stable disease and one had progressive disease. Treatment duration was 1.6– 31.7 months. In patients with controlled disease (n = 3), progression-free survival was 6.1– 31.7 months. Two of these patients had previously received osimertinib. Conclusion: Currently, there is no consensus regarding the treatment of EGFR mutation-positive NSCLC following emergence of the osimertinib resistance mutations, L718Q or G724S. Afatinib appears to be a promising treatment option in this setting.
期刊介绍:
OncoTargets and Therapy is an international, peer-reviewed journal focusing on molecular aspects of cancer research, that is, the molecular diagnosis of and targeted molecular or precision therapy for all types of cancer.
The journal is characterized by the rapid reporting of high-quality original research, basic science, reviews and evaluations, expert opinion and commentary that shed novel insight on a cancer or cancer subtype.
Specific topics covered by the journal include:
-Novel therapeutic targets and innovative agents
-Novel therapeutic regimens for improved benefit and/or decreased side effects
-Early stage clinical trials
Further considerations when submitting to OncoTargets and Therapy:
-Studies containing in vivo animal model data will be considered favorably.
-Tissue microarray analyses will not be considered except in cases where they are supported by comprehensive biological studies involving multiple cell lines.
-Biomarker association studies will be considered only when validated by comprehensive in vitro data and analysis of human tissue samples.
-Studies utilizing publicly available data (e.g. GWAS/TCGA/GEO etc.) should add to the body of knowledge about a specific disease or relevant phenotype and must be validated using the authors’ own data through replication in an independent sample set and functional follow-up.
-Bioinformatics studies must be validated using the authors’ own data through replication in an independent sample set and functional follow-up.
-Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) studies will not be considered.
