      • Abstract

      Background:
      Crizotinib has resulted in substantial benefits for advanced non-small- cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients harboring anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) rearrangement. With limited real-world data available, the present work aimed to explore the clinicopathological characteristics and survival outcome of patients with advanced ALK+ NSCLC in a single center in China.

      Method:
      Data of 83 advanced ALK-rearranged NSCLC patients treated in Zhejiang Cancer Hospital were collected and analyzed retrospectively. Survivals were analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method and were compared using the log-rank test. Multivariate analysis were performed by the Cox proportional hazard model.

      Result:
      Of the 83 patients enrolled, 33(39.8%) patients received crizotinib, and the other 50(60.2%) patients received chemotherapy as the initial treatment. The first-line use of crizotinib prolonged PFS compared with chemotherapy (median PFS 19.0 m vs. 5.7 m, P < 0.001), but not OS (46.0 m vs. 30.6 m, P=0.797). Till the last follow up, 71(85.5%) patients had received crizotinib, and 12(14.5%) patients were crizotinib-naïve. Patients who had received crizotinib had significantly longer OS than those who did not (48.9 m vs. 19.8 m, P < 0.05). Among the 71 patients who had received crizotinib,33(46.5%) used in first-line therapy, 22(31.0%) used in second-line therapy, and 16(22.5%) used after second-line therapy. There were not significant difference of OS among the three groups (30.6 m vs. 57.7 m vs. 40.8 m, P=0.583). The Cox multivariate analysis identified the following independent negative prognostic factors for OS: smoking (HR=4.725), liver metastasis(HR=4.570), bone metastasis (HR=2.651), and use of crizotinib (HR=0.295).

      Conclusion:
      Our real-world study showed that the use of crizotinib improved long-term survival of patients with advanced ALK-rearrangement NSCLC. There were no difference in survival outcome between patients with initial crizotinib and those with non-initial crizotinib.
