Abstract
- Background In the LUX-Lung (LL) 3 and 6 trials, first-line afatinib significantly improved PFS vs chemotherapy in pts with EGFRm+ NSCLC and baseline brain mets (HR, 0.50; P = 0.03).1 In LL7, similar PFS improvement with afatinib vs gefitinib was observed in pts with, and without, brain metastases (HR, 0.76 and 0.74; Pint=0.93).2 Competing risk analysis of LL3/6 demonstrated low risk of de novo CNS progression in pts treated with afatinib (6%).3 Here, we assess afatinib in pts with brain metastases treated in a 'real-world' setting. Methods Retrospective pooled analysis of three 'real-world' studies: a multi-center expanded-access program in Korea (1200.193); an Asian phase IIIB trial (1200.66); a global phase IIIB trial (mainly Europe; 1200.55). All three studies recruited EGFR TKI-naïve pts with EGFRm+ NSCLC who received afatinib 40 mg/day, including pts with asymptomatic brain metastases. Dose reduction was permitted (minimum 20 mg/day). Endpoints included investigator-assessed progression-free survival (PFS), time to symptomatic progression (TTSP) and objective response rate (ORR). Results A total of 1108 pts were treated with afatinib. Baseline characteristics were: median age, 61 yrs; female, 58%; ECOG PS of 0/1/2, 26%/70%/4%; uncommon EGFR mutations: 18%; first-line afatinib, 69%. In total, 213 pts had brain metastases. Median PFS and TTSP in these pts were 10.6 months (95% CI 9.1–12.8) and 13.7 months (95% CI 11.0–14.8), respectively. When restricted to pts harboring common EGFR mutations, median PFS and TTSP were 11.7 months (95% CI 10.1–13.8) and 14.4 months (95% CI 12.9–16.4), respectively. ORR was 57% (59% in pts with common EGFR mutations); median duration of response was 11.1 months (95% CI 8.3–12.3). Conclusions Consistent with clinical trial data, afatinib is active in pts with EGFRm+ NSCLC and brain metastases treated in a real-world setting in Asian and Caucasian pts. 1. Schuler, M. et al.
