P3.01-039 - Patient Characteristics and Treatment Outcome of Advanced Non-Squamous NSCLC with over 6-Month Disease Control from Icotinib (ID 2806)

- Abstract
Background:
Epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI) has an established role in the treatment of advanced non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Icotinib is an EGFR-TKI with non-inferior efficacy but milder toxicities compared with gefitinib. Disease control for over 6 months suggests that the case is not primary resistant to the drug. The present study investigated the patient characteristics and treatment outcome of advanced non-squamous NSCLC with at least 6-month disease control from icotinib.
Methods:
Non-squamous NSCLC patients with disease control after 6-month icotinib treatment were enrolled and retrospectively analyzed. Clinical characteristics were collected from the medical records. Efficacy and outcome data were analyzed.
Results:
A total of 87 patients were enrolled onto this study in which 56 were female, 18 with brain metastasis, and 32 patients harbored known EGFR mutation. For the overall population, 42(48.3%) patients achieved partial response. Response rate were 65.6%(21/32)and 38.2%(21/55)in patients with EGFR mutation and those with unknown mutation status, respectively(P=0.014). Patients with brain metastasis appeared to have lower response rate (26.7% vs 56.9%, p=0.033).The median progression-free survival (PFS) after 6 months’ icotinib treatment was 9.7 months (95% CI 4.1-15.4 months) for the overall population, and 5.0 months (95% CI 0.6-3.9 months) and 12.9 months (95% CI 3.4-6.2 months) for those with and without brain metastasis, respectively. Median progression-free survival in patients with PR or SD showed no statistically significant difference (15.5 months vs 9.3 months, P=0.477).
Conclusion:
The present study provided evidence from a relatively large single institutional study of icotinib in clinical practice. Patients with disease control for over 6 months showed similar clinical features to those with EGFR mutation. Those patients will have prolonged clinical benefits with continuous icotinib therapy after 6 months, regardless of PR or SD. Brain metastasis is a potential unfavorable predictive factor for PFS for those patients
