Abstract
Introduction
Osimertinib is used as the first-line treatment for EGFR mutation-positive NSCLC. Nevertheless, its efficacy and safety in clinical practice remain to be fully elucidated and the pattern of progression and the optimal subsequent treatment after osimertinib remains unclear.
Methods
This was a multicenter prospective observational study. EGFR mutation-positive patients with NSCLC who started first-line osimertinib from September 2018 to August 2020 were enrolled and followed up until August 2022.
Results
A total of 583 patients received osimertinib. The median progression-free and overall survival were 20.0 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 17.6–21.7) months and 41.0 (95% CI: 37.1–44.1) months, respectively. Grade 3 or worse adverse events were observed in 136 patients (23.3%). Progression patterns were categorized as central nervous system only, oligo-progression, and multiple organs on the basis of the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors—progressive disease and occurred in 37 (10.8%), 156 (45.4%), and 151 patients (43.9%). The patient’s condition on progression was asymptomatic in 195 patients (56.7%). Osimertinib was continued in 163 patients (47.4%) after confirming progression. In clinically stable population with progressive disease (n = 247), survival after progression was 13.3 (95% CI: 10.9–16.4) months for those who continued osimertinib beyond progressive disease (n = 124), and 24.1 (95% CI: 17.7–34.0) months for those who discontinued osimertinib (n = 123) (hazard ratio = 2.01, 95% CI: 1.38–2.91, p = 0.0002). Platinum plus pemetrexed had the best overall survival benefits after osimertinib.
Conclusions
First-line osimertinib was found to have good effectiveness comparable to that reported in pivotal studies. Nevertheless, osimertinib should be discontinued among those who develop progression.
