Real‐world data on EGFR/ALK gene status and first‐line targeted therapy rate in newly diagnosed advanced non‐small cell lung cancer patients in Northern China: A prospective observational study

Background Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) can significantly prolong overall survival for patients with advanced non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)‐mutation or anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)‐rearrangement. However, the real‐world evaluation statu...

description Background Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) can significantly prolong overall survival for patients with advanced non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)‐mutation or anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)‐rearrangement. However, the real‐world evaluation status of ALK/EGFR in China remains unclear. Methods We conducted a prospective study including 1134 patients with cytologically or histologically confirmed advanced NSCLC (stage IIIb–IV) at 12 Chinese hospitals. Results The most common evaluation methods were amplification‐refractory mutation system for EGFR status and immunohistochemistry targeting D5F3 for ALK status. Among patients with non‐squamous, the EGFR mutation rate was 44.1% and the ALK rearrangement rate was 10.0%. Among patients with squamous cell carcinoma, the EGFR mutation rate was 8.3% and the ALK rearrangement rate was 3.7%. Among all patients, gender (HR = 1.7, 95%CI = 1.2–2.4, P = 0.006), smoking history (HR = 1.8, 95%CI = 1.3–2.7, P = 0.001), histology (HR = 5.0, 95%CI = 2.4–10.1, P < 0.001), and brain metastases (HR = 1.5, 95%CI = 1.1–2.2, P = 0.017) were independent predictors of EGFR mutation, while age (HR = 2.6, 95%CI = 1.7–4.1, P < 0.001) was an independent predictor of ALK rearrangement. The median time from tumor diagnosis to EGFR or ALK status confirmation was 7 and 5 days, respectively. Targeted therapy rate was 73.8% in EGFR‐positive patients and 51.4% in ALK‐positive patients. There was a negative correlation between the first‐line targeted therapy rate and the EGFR mutation detection period (r = −0.152, P = 0.02), while no significant correlation among patients with ALK rearrangement (r = −0.179, P = 0.076). Conclusion Squamous NSCLC patients should also be routinely tested to determine their EGFR/ALK statuses. The first‐line targeted therapy rate remains low in Chinese patients with NSCLC.
