Abstract
Background: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for about 85% of generally reported lung cancer patients.
Objectives: This is a systematic review of the clinical efficacy and safety of osimertinib in treating epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation-positive advanced NSCLC.
Methods: A network search was completed for clinical research literature (from inception of each database to May 30, 2020) on osimertinib for EGFR mutation-positive advanced NSCLC. Strict inclusion and exclusion criteria were formulated to screen the literature. After data extraction, RevMan 5.3 software was utilized for quality evaluation and meta-analysis. The primary endpoints were objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and adverse events of grades 3 and 4.
Results: Finally, 6 eligible articles and a total of 1,848 patients containing 1,123 in experimental groups and 725 in control groups were included. Meta-analysis indicated that ORR (odds ratio [OR] = 3.40, 95% CI 1.64∼7.01, p = 0.0009), DCR (OR = 4.36, 95% CI 3.09∼6.15, p < 0.00001), PFS (HR = 0.36, 95% CI 0.27∼0.47, p < 0.00001), and OS (OR = 0.58, 95% CI 0.46∼0.72, p < 0.00001) of the experimental group were prominently better than the control group. Adverse events of grades 3 and 4 mainly incorporated decreased nausea, rash, stomatitis, and vomiting, which were dramatically relieved compared with the control group.
Conclusion: Osimertinib is currently an appreciably effective and well-tolerated therapeutic avenue for EGFR mutation-positive advanced NSCLC.
期刊介绍:
''Pharmacology'' is an international forum to present and discuss current perspectives in drug research. The journal communicates research in basic and clinical pharmacology and related fields. It covers biochemical pharmacology, molecular pharmacology, immunopharmacology, drug metabolism, pharmacogenetics, analytical toxicology, neuropsychopharmacology, pharmacokinetics and clinical pharmacology. In addition to original papers and short communications of investigative findings and pharmacological profiles the journal contains reviews, comments and perspective notes; research communications of novel therapeutic agents are encouraged.
