Abstract
Background
Although clinical trials of systemic chemotherapy for advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) have included both postoperative recurrence and de novo unresectable cases, postoperative recurrence is reported to have a better efficacy and prognosis. However, there are no efficacy data of first-line osimertinib for postoperative recurrence.
Methods
We conducted a post hoc analysis of a multicenter, prospective, observational study that evaluated the efficacy of first-line osimertinib in patients with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-positive NSCLC. The patients were divided into two groups: those with postoperative recurrence (recurrence group, n = 167) and those with de novo unresectable disease (de novo group, n = 385).
Results
The recurrence group had a significantly better Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status (ECOG-PS, p < 0.001) and fewer bone metastases (p < 0.001), brain metastases (p < 0.001), cancer pleurisy (p = 0.006), pleural dissemination (p = 0.003), liver metastases (p = 0.017), and adrenal metastases (p = 0.009) at the start of osimertinib than the de novo group. The recurrence group had a significantly better progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) than the de novo group (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.62, 95 % confidence interval [CI], 0.49–0.81, p < 0.001; and HR = 0.58, 95 % CI, 0.43–0.79, p < 0.001, respectively). In a 1:1 propensity score-matching analysis, the matched recurrence group had significantly better PFS and OS than the matched de novo group (HR = 0.72, 95 % CI, 0.52–0.99, p = 0.034; and HR = 0.65, 95 % CI, 0.44–0.95, p < 0.001, respectively).
Conclusion
Patients with EGFR-positive NSCLC and postoperative recurrence have a better ECOG-PS and fewer distant metastases at the start of first-line osimertinib, and better PFS and OS than those with de novo unresectable disease. Postoperative recurrence should be considered as a stratification factor in future clinical trials for advanced EGFR-positive NSCLC.
