ORAL32.02 - Long-Term Survivors with EGFR Wild-Type Advanced NSCLC Treated with Second-Line Erlotinib: Subgroup Analysis from WILT Study (ID 1661)

Background:
The overwhelming majority of advanced NSCLC p worldwide is wild-type (WT) EGFR. The results reported so far are difficult to interpret due to the heterogeneous nature of this large group of p. There is a variation in terms of efficacy considering known prognostic factors; however, other characteristics, as yet undefined, might further explain this variability. In the clinical setting, prolonged second-line treatment with Erlotinib (E) has been identified in a small group of p with WT EGFR leading to a long-term survival. The role of E in this special subset needs to be further determined in order to identify who might be most likely to benefit.
Methods:
WILT is a multicentre, open-label, observational study. WT EGFR (if rarely unknown, both squamous tumour and current/former smoking status as mandatory criteria) advanced NSCLC p treated with second-line E (150mg/d, until unacceptable toxicity/progressive disease) were included. Using a prognostic index model, the aim of this study is to identify subgroups of p with specific clinical and laboratory parameters that are likely to derive clinically meaningful and statistically significant benefit from E. Here we present the results of patients’ subgroups with long-term E treatment in second-line setting (PFS≥6 months and PFS≥9 months).
Results:
355 p were included in the study and preliminary reported data showed an overall median PFS of 2.3 months, finding 40% of p with a median PFS>2.5 months. Baseline subgroups characteristics of 52 p (14.6%) with a PFS≥6 months and 30 p (8.5%) with a PFS≥9 months are shown in Table 1. Efficacy data in PFS≥6 months subgroup: Median PFS of 10.8 months (95% CI: 9.2-12.3). Objective Response Rate of 21.6% and Disease Control Rate of 82.4%. Main related grade≥3 toxicities were rash (1.9%) and diarrhoea (3.8%). Efficacy data in PFS≥9 months subgroup: Median PFS of 13.5 months (95% CI: 12-15). Objective Response Rate of 17.2% and Disease Control Rate of 82.8%. Main related grade≥3 toxicities were rash (3.3%) and diarrhoea (6.7%). Table1: Patient characteristics

Conclusion:
Global efficacy results of E, in terms of PFS, match with previously reported data for second-line setting. A long-term survivors group has been identified, whom the administration of E resulted in an extraordinary prolonged response. Highlighting the heterogeneity of this subgroup, it was not possible the identification of standardized prognostic factors. Potentially molecular variables for long-term survival with E in WT EGFR NSCLC could play a role in the determination of different evolutions.
