- Abstract
Background: Although the clinical application of osimertinib, a third-generation epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI), has been a new step forward in the first-line treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), an increasing number of patients with progression on osimertinib represents a great challenge clinically. The patterns of resistance mechanisms and subsequent treatment strategies after first-line osimertinib resistance are not well established. Methods: Between January 1, 2016 and October 31, 2020, a consecutive of 56 EGFR-mutant lung cancer patients treated with osimertinib as first-line therapy at Daping Hospital (Chongqing, China) were retrospective screened. The samples of pre-osimertinib and osimertinib-resistance were all detected by next-generation sequencing (NGS) panels. Statistical analyses were carried out using SPSS 23.0 software. Survival analyses were performed using the Kaplan–Meier method and compared using a log-rank test between groups. Results: Among 47 patients with osimertinib effectiveness analysis, the median progression free survival (mPFS) was 15.4 months (95% confidence interval [CI]: 12.2-24.9 months), and median overall survival (mOS) was 35.5 months (95% CI: 23.9 months -NA). A total of 21 patients underwent repeated NGS tests upon osimertinib resistance. MET amplification was the most common resistance mechanism (6/21, 28.6%), followed by C797S mutation (5/21, 23.8%). A total of 15 patients received subsequent treatments, with mPFS of 7.3 months (95% CI 5.0 months -NA). Among them, 7 patients with EGFR C797 S or/and MET amplification received subsequent second-line targeted therapy, achieving mPFS of 7.3 months (95% CI 4.5 months -NA). Of note, 3 patients received immunotherapy as second- or third-line treatment after osimertinib resistance, achieving median clinical benefit of 37.3 months. Conclusions: MET amplification and C797S mutation are main resistance mechanisms, which could be targeted by crizotinib and gefitinib, respectively. More than 50% patients could receive subsequent anticancer targetable therapies after first-line osimertinib resistance. Immunotherapy may also be an acceptable choice after osimertinib resistance.
