Effectiveness comparison of third-generation EGFR-TKI as initial and sequential therapy in adjuvant treatment for EGFR mutation-sensitive stage IIIA non-small cell lung cancer after surgery

Introduction: Although third-generation epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) Osimertinib has been approved as adjuvant therapy for resected stage IIIA non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with EGFR-sensitive mutations, the optimal treatment sequencing of EGFR-TKIs, p...

description Introduction: Although third-generation epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) Osimertinib has been approved as adjuvant therapy for resected stage IIIA non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with EGFR-sensitive mutations, the optimal treatment sequencing of EGFR-TKIs, particularly whether Osimertinib should be the initial or sequential therapy following the first-generation EGFR-TKIs remains uncertain. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on a cohort of patients with EGFR-mutated stage IIIA NSCLC who received treatment with either first-generation EGFR-TKIs or Osimertinib (third-generation) alone, or in sequential combination, at a single institution. The data analysis involved using the Kaplan-Meier method, log-rank test, and Cox regression. Results: Out of the total 148 patients with stage IIIA NSCLC included in the study, 76 individuals underwent treatment with either first-generation EGFR-TKIs (referred to as subgroup “1″) or exclusively Osimertinib (subgroup “0 + 3″), or a sequential combination of the two (subgroup “1 + 3″) following surgery. Both univariate and multivariate analyses demonstrated that there were no discernible disparities in terms of disease-free survival and overall survival between subgroup '' 1″ and '' 1 + 3,” nor between subgroup '' 0 + 3″ and “1 + 3''. Conclusion: The findings from this study indicate that the introduction of third-generation EGFR-TKI Osimertinib did not yield enhanced survival benefits when compared to the first-generation drug in patients with stage IIIA completely resected NSCLC who were administered EGFR-TKIs as part of their postoperative adjuvant treatment. Additionally, within the observed sample size of this cohort, the sequential use of Osimertinib alongside first-generation EGFR-TKI did not demonstrate superiority over using either the first-generation EGFR-TKI or Osimertinib alone in terms of postoperative survival.
