    • Abstract

    Background:
    Although previous studies demonstrated that the PFS of geftinib, erlotinib and afatinib as first line treatment is superior to chemotherapy in advanced NSCLC patients harboring activating EGFR mutation, the efficacy of icotinib therapy as first line therapy has not yet been elucidated.
    
    Method:
    Patients with IIIB/IV NSCLC and a confirmed activating mutation of EGFR (exon 19 deletion or exon 21 L858R substitution) received oral icotinib (125 mg, three times per day) until disease progression or unacceptable toxic effects. The primary outcome was overall survival (OS), and the second endpoint were progression-free survival (PFS), objective response rate(ORR), disease control rate(DCR).
    
    Result:
    1615 patients with advanced NSCLC receiving icotinib from Oct. 2012 to Apr. 2016 were screened in four cancer centers in Qingdao city, P R.China, and 79 patients with intact follow-up data received icotinib in first-line setting and were enrolled.Of them, the number of women and men were 51 (64.56/%) and 28 (35.44/%) respectively. 27 (34.18%)patients were with EGFR exon 19 deletion, and 52(65.82%) patients with exon 21 L858R mutation. The median follow-up period at the time of analysis was 24.50 months. The objective response rate(ORR) was 45.57% (36/79) , and the disease control rate(DCR) reached 89.87%(71/79). One (1.27%) patient had CR, and 35(44.30%) patients had PR, 35(44.30%) patients had SD, 8(10.13%) patients with PD. The median PFS and OS were 13.61 months and 31.11 months respectively of overall population. The median PFS was 12.30 months in EGFR exon 19 mutation subgroup and 14.00 months in exon 21 mutation subgroup respectively(p=0.441). The exon 19 mutation group had a significantly longer median overall survival than exon 21 mutation group (34.72 months, vs. 28.66 months,log-rank p=0.006, hazard ratio, 0.31 95% CI, 0.13 to 0.71). Meanwhile, there is significant difference of overall survival during different ECOG PS subgroups(ECOG PS 0-1 versus ECOG PS 2-3,32.59 months versus 20.59 months,p=0.002,HR 3.09,95%CI, 1.46 to 6.52).
    
    Conclusion:
    The study illustrate that icotinib is effective as first-line treatment for patients with advanced NSCLC and sensitive EGFR mutation. The patients harboring EGFR exon 19 deletion mutation yield similar PFS, but longer OS compared to those harboring exon 21 L858R mutation.
