- Abstract
In epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with negative or low programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1) expression, the acquisition rate of the T790M mutation is higher after treatment with first-/second-generation EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) and the progression-free survival (PFS) is longer in patients treated with osimertinib. The present study compared the clinical course after the initiation of each EGFR-TKI monotherapy in patients with EGFR-mutant NSCLC with negative or low PD-L1 expression. Data of patients with EGFR-mutant NSCLC with negative or low PD-L1 expression who were treated with EGFR-TKI monotherapy were retrieved and retrospectively analyzed. Between June 2013 and November 2023, 26 and 29 patients were treated with first-/second-generation EGFR-TKIs and osimertinib, respectively. The PFS time was longer in patients treated with osimertinib (median, 22.5 months) than in those treated with first-/second-generation EGFR-TKIs (median, 12.9 months). However, the EGFR-TKI treatment duration, defined as the PFS for osimertinib, or the sum of the PFS for first-/second-generation EGFR-TKIs and sequential osimertinib therapy after the acquisition of the T790M mutation, was similar between patients treated with first-/second-generation EGFR-TKIs (median, 23.0 months) and osimertinib (median, 22.5 months). The Cox proportional hazard model suggested that there was no significant difference in the EGFR-TKI treatment duration between patients treated with first-/second-generation EGFR-TKIs and patients treated with osimertinib (hazard ratio, 1.31, 95% CI, 0.55-3.13). In conclusion, first-/second-generation EGFR-TKIs and osimertinib were associated with a similar EGFR-TKI treatment duration in patients with EGFR-mutant NSCLC with negative or low PD-L1 expression. The findings suggested that both treatments are promising for this population.
