      Background:
      The Compassionate-Use-Program (CUP) was available in Thailand for requesting afatinib during 2012-2014 for patients whom had failed at least one-line of platinum-based-chemotherapy and progressed following at least 6 months on 1[st]-generation EGFR-TKIs. This is a multicenter-retrospective-study in Thailand aimed to explore the efficacy and tolerability of afatinib in this group of patients.

      Method:
      Full medical-records of 79 patients from 7 institutions were reviewed. Clinical and tumor characteristics were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The efficacy in brain metastases was explored. Survival curves were constructed using the Kaplan-Meier method. All analysis was done in Stata version14.

      Result:
      Sixty-eight percent of patients were younger than 65 years old, 60% were female, and 67% received more than 2 of prior-regimen. EGFR-mutation was tested in 75% of patients; comprise of 86% common-mutations, 14% uncommon-mutations. Eleven patients had T790M acquired-resistance in combination with sensitive-mutation before receiving afatinib. One patient had De-novo-T790M. The mOS, mPFS, and mTTF were 11.5, 3.9, and 5.1 months, respectively. Eighteen patients had brain-metastases at enrollment and 6 patients had new brain-metastases during afatinib treatment. The mOS, mPFS, and mTTF were not statistically different among new brain-metastases or pre-existing brain-metastases. There was no dose-reduction in 38%, 1 dose-reduction 44%, 2 dose-reductions 12%, and 3 dose-reductions 6% of patients. The mean dose for every patient was 35 mg. Time-to-first-dose-reduction significantly affected the mPFS and mTTF as shown in Table. Furthermore, number of prior-treatment more than 2 was the significant factor causing first-dose-reduction within 1 month and age younger than 65 years-old was the significant factor causing first-dose-reduction within 2 and 3 months in multivariate and univariate model, respectively.

      Conclusion:
      The mOS, mPFS, and mTTF of our study were comparable with LUX-Lung1 study. Number of prior-treatment and age were the significant factors causing dose-reduction. Taken together with time-to-first-dose-reduction also affected the survival of patients.
