P3.01-023 - First-line Afatinib for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer in Real World Practice (ID 8947)
09:30 - 09:30 | Presenting Author(s): Youjin Kim
- Abstract
Background:
The efficacy of first-line afatinib was demonstrated for epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in large randomized trials, and it has been approved and reimbursed in South Korea since year 2014. This study evaluated clinical outcomes of afatinib in real world practice.
Method:
Patients treated with first-line afatinib for advanced EGFR-mutant NSCLC in Samsung Medical Center (Seoul, South Korea) from October 2014 to December 2016 were included into the analyses.
Result:
In total, 165 patients were analyzed. One hundred fourteen had deletion in exon 19, 37 L858R, and 14 patients had uncommon EGFR mutations including 4 de novo T790M. Median progression-free survival (PFS) was 19. 1 months (95% CI: 12.3- 25.9 months). There was difference in median PFS according to EGFR mutation type: deletion in exon 19 (19.1 months), L858R (15.8 months), de novo T790M (4.7 months), and uncommon EGFR excepting for T790M (not yet reached) (P = 0.01). Though 112 patients (67.8%) had to reduce afatinib dose from 40 mg per day into 30 mg or 20 mg per day due to adverse events, it did not impair its efficacy in terms of PFS (23.5 months in a reduction group vs. 12.4 months in no reduction group). Among 29 patients with evaluable follow-up brain MRI for non-irradiated brain metastatic lesions, significant response was documented in 22 cases (75.9%). Out of 20 patients who were biopsied again at disease progression (excluding one case with de novo T790M), T790M appeared in 7 the repeat-biopsied specimens (35.0%).
Conclusion:
In the real practice in South Korea, first-line afatinib showed comparable or better efficacy data compared with previous clinical trials.

P3.01-029 - Transient Asymptomatic Pulmonary Opacities (TAPOs) during Osimertinib Treatment and Its Clinical Implication (ID 9117)
09:30 - 09:30 | Author(s): Youjin Kim
- Abstract
Background:
Osimertinib is an oral, potent, irreversible 3[rd] generation EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor(TKI) approved for the treatment of T790M positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients who failed 1[st] or 2[nd] generation EGFR TKIs. Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a rare complication with osimertinib, accounting for 1-3%. Recently, relatively high incidence of transient asymptomatic pulmonary opacities (TAPOs) which are different from ILD has been described (Noonan et al, JTO 2016). However, its clinical implication has not been fully determined yet.
Method:
We retrospectively analyzed 75 EGFR mutant NSCLC patients treated with osimertinib at Samsung Medical Center. Serial CT findings were reviewed by radiologist (Dr. HY Lee) and TAPO was classified according to its radiologic pattern. We also analyzed the correlation of TAPO with clinical outcomes.
Result:
Among 74 patients, TAPO was found in 15 (20.3%). The median time to TAPOs development was 23.5 weeks (1 – 72 weeks) and the median duration of TAPOs was 6.0 weeks (5 – 24 weeks) during continued osimertinib treatment. The most common radiological patterns of TAPO include cryptogenic organizing pneumonia and/or simple eosinophilic pneumonia (SEP). There was no significant difference in patient characteristics between TAPO positive and negative group. The duration of exposure to osimertinib is longer in TAPO positive than negative group (25.2 months vs 14.0 months, p=0.016 ). The progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) was numerically longer in patients with TAPO positive than negative group (PFS : 15.0 m vs 12.5 m, p= 0.201/ OS : 37.0 m vs 24 m, p=0.155)
Conclusion:
TAPOs are frequently observed with osimertinib treatment and may be mistaken for isolated pulmonary progression or ILD. Given the lack of serious clinical deterioration, it is reasonable to continue osimertinib with regular CT scan follow-up. For further clinical validation of TAPOs, long-term and large studies are warranted.
