Treatment strategy, overall survival and associated risk factors among patients with unresectable stage IIIB/IV non-small cell lung cancer in China (2015–2017): A multicentre prospective study

Summary: Background: There are limited studies on treatment and survival analysis among patients with unresectable Stage IIIB or IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in routine practice in China. To address this gap, we conducted a prospective observational study in a cohort of patients treated at...

description Summary: Background: There are limited studies on treatment and survival analysis among patients with unresectable Stage IIIB or IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in routine practice in China. To address this gap, we conducted a prospective observational study in a cohort of patients treated at 11 hospitals in China. Methods: This was a multicentre, prospective cohort study including patients with newly diagnosed unresectable Stage IIIB or IV NSCLC from June 26th, 2015 to April 28th, 2017. Patient baseline characteristics, disease characteristics, and anti-cancer treatments were obtained by medical chart review. The overall survival (OS) from the initiation of first-line treatment was analysed by the Kaplan-Meier method. Factors associated with survival were analysed by univariate and multivariate Cox regression models. Findings: Among 1324 patients enrolled with median follow-up duration of 15·0 (range: 0·0–42·1) months, 83·5% (1105/1324) of them received first-line chemotherapy of which platinum-based compounds were the dominated agents. Overall, 30·9% (409/1324) of patients received targeted therapy as 1st-line treatment including 65·0% (266/409) EGFR-TKIs and 5·1% (21/409) ALK-TKIs. Of all eligible patients, gene testing rates were 44·0% (583/1324) for EGFR mutations, 17·0% (225/1324) for EML4-ALK gene fusions, and 8·3% (110/1324) for ROS1 gene fusions. The EGFR-TKIs were administered to 63·9% (179/280) of EGFR mutated patients as first-line treatment. The overall median OS was 23·2 (95%CI 19·5-25·5) months, and patients treated at tier 1 cities had better OS than that of tier 2 cities. Also, the OS in patients with EGFR mutation was longer than those with EGFR wild type. Multivariate Cox regression models suggested that male, education below high school, tier 2 cities, smoking history, and multiple metastases were associated with poor survival. Interpretation: The gene test coverage was relatively low among the studied population, and over half of EGFR mutated patients received EGFR-TKIs, suggesting that the result of genetic tests in real-world settings may not always indicate the selection of treatment. The OS benefit observed from patients treated in tier 1 cities and those with EGFR mutation may indicate a need for broader gene test coverage, providing NSCLC patients with personalized treatment according to the results of genetic tests.
