- Abstract
Background: Substitution of methionine for threonine at codon 790 (T790M) of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) represents the major mechanism of resistance to EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in EGFR -mutant non-small-cell lung cancer. We determined the prognostic impact and association of secondary T790M mutations with the outcomes of osimertinib and chemotherapy. Methods: Patients (n = 460) progressing from first-line EGFR-TKI treatment were assessed. Tissue and/or liquid biopsies were used to determine T790M status; post-progression overall survival (OS) was analyzed. Results: Overall, 143 (31.1%) patients were T790M positive, 95 (20.7%) were T790M negative, and 222 (48.2%) had unknown T790M status. T790M status [T790M positive versus T790M negative: hazard ratio (HR) 0.48 (95% confidence interval (CI), 0.32–0.70); p < 0.001, T790M unknown versus T790M negative: HR 1.97 (95% CI, 1.47–2.64); p < 0.001] was significantly associated with post-progression OS. T790M positivity rates were similar for tissue (90/168, 53.6%) and liquid (53/90, 58.9%) biopsies (Fisher's exact test, p = 0.433). Tumor T790M-positive patients had significantly longer post-progression OS than tumor T790M-negative patients (34.1 versus 17.1 months; log-rank test, p = 8 × 10−5). Post-progression OS was similar between plasma T790M-positive and -negative patients (17.4 versus not reached; log-rank test, p = 0.600). In tumor T790M-positive patients, post-progression OS was similar after osimertinib and chemotherapy [34.1 versus 29.1 months; log-rank test, p = 0.900; HR 1.06 (95% CI, 0.44–2.57); p = 0.897]. Conclusion: T790M positivity predicts better post-progression OS than T790M negativity; tumor T790M positivity has a stronger prognostic impact than plasma T790M positivity. Osimertinib and chemotherapy provide similar OS benefits in patients with T790M-positive tumors. Plain language summary: Different prognostic meaning of tumor resistant gene detected from tumor or blood in patients with EGFR-mutant lung cancer The study demonstrates that patients with EGFR-mutant lung cancer who develop resistance due to a secondary T790M mutation, defined by tumor or blood T790M positivity, achieve better survival than patients without secondary T790M mutation; this association was mainly contributed by tumour T790M positivity. Oismertinib and chemotherapy led to similar survival in tumour T790M-positive patients. However, compared to osimertinib, chemotherapy was associated with longer survival in blood T790M-positive patients.
