P3.01-029 - Transient Asymptomatic Pulmonary Opacities (TAPOs) during Osimertinib Treatment and Its Clinical Implication (ID 9117)
09:30 - 09:30 | Author(s): H. Lee
- 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.
