MINI17.04 - Erlotinib in 2nd Line in Advanced Squamous NSCLC: Final Results of the Pepita Cohort (ID 822)
17:05 - 17:10 | Author(s): H. Saal
- Abstract
Background:
Erlotinib in 2[nd] line improves survival in patients with recurrent/progressive NSCLC, is also active in squamous cell NSCLC, as reported in a BR.21 study subgroup. So far, no prospective non interventional study has specifically evaluated patients with this histological subtype treated with erlotinib. We present the final results of PEPITA cohort.
Methods:
PEPITA is a French multicenter, prospective cohort study assessing erlotinib modalities of use in daily practice in squamous NSCLC. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS); secondary endpoints included patients’ characteristics, overall survival (OS), safety and quality of life. EGFR mutation was tested in 41 patients (28.5%) reason why exploratory analyses assessing EGFR genotyping and smoking status were also performed.
Results:
Between June 2012 - May 2013, 152 patients were included and 146 patients were analyzed for efficacy; median follow-up was 5.31 months (0.03-17.65).

*[95% CI] In the safety population (n=152 patients), 158 adverse events (AEs) were reported in 70 patients (46.1%), including 48 grade ≥ 3 AEs in 31 patients (20.4%). The most frequent AEs related to erlotinib were skin rash (all grades [23,7%], grade ≥ 3 [5,2%]) and diarrhea (all grades [11,8%], grade ≥ 3 [2.0%]); 19 serious adverse events (SAEs) were reported in 12 patients (7.9%), including 16 grade ≥ 3 SAEs in 10 patients (6.6%). There were 6 SAEs leading to death (3.9% patients), but none SAE was related to erlotinib.EGFR mutation not tested n=103 EGFR mutation tested n=41 Non-smoker n=11 Smoker/Ex-smoker n=135 Efficacy population n=146 PFS Event (progression or death) 95 (92.2%) 34 (82.9%) 8 (72.7%) 123 (91.1%) 131 (89.7%) Median (months) 2.8 [2.3;3.2]* 4.4 [2.9;5.8]* 3.3 [0.7;ND]* 3.0 [2.7;3.5]* 3.0 [2.7;3.5]* Survival rates at 12 months 7.0% [3.1;13.1]* 10.7% [3.1;23.6]* 27.3% [6.5;53.9]* 6.3% [2.9;11.6]* 8.0% [4.2;13.4]* OS Event (progression or death) 79 (76.7%) 22 (53.7%) 6 (54.5%) 96 (71.1%) 102 (69.9%) Median (months) 5.5 [4.0;6.4]* 9.1 [4.4;ND]* 8.0 [1.6;ND]* 5.8 [4.5;7.1]* 5.8 [4.7;7.1]* Survival rates at 12 months 22.4% [14.5;31.3]* 37.1% [20.9;53.5]* 43.6% [14.7;69.9]* 24.8% [17.2;33.0]* 26.3% [18.9;34.3]*
Conclusion:
PEPITA is the first non-interventional study assessing modalities of use in daily practice of patients with stade IIIb/IV squamous NSCLC treated in 2[nd] line with erlotinib. This final analysis show similar efficacy and safety results to those observed in clinical trials. Clinical profile may drive EGFR genotyping.
