Real-world comparative outcomes of EGFR-TKIs for first-line treatment of EGFR+ metastatic non-small-cell lung cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Osimertinib is a third-generation EGFR-TKI and preferred first-line (1L) treatment for EGFR positive (EGFR+) metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (mNSCLC). This study compared real-world clinical outcomes of 1L osimertinib versus 1st or 2nd generation EGFR-TKIs (1/2G-TKIs) in patients with EGFR+ mNSCLC.

Methods

Nine academic cancer centers in the US participated in the retrospective cohort study. Patients aged ≥18 years with EGFR+ mNSCLC and treated with 1L EGFR-TKI were included. Clinical outcomes included real-world progression-free survival (rwPFS), duration of treatment (DOT), time to next treatment (TTNT), central nervous system incidence-free survival (CNS-IFS), and overall survival (OS). Multivariable regression models were used to control for differences in
