Efficacy and safety of original EGFR-TKI combined with bevacizumab in advanced lung adenocarcinoma patients harboring EGFR-mutation experiencing gradual progression after EGFR-TKI treatment: a single-arm study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Keeping on original epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI) treatment is the standard treatment for gradual progression EGFR-positive metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Angiogenic pathway can lead to EGFR-TKI resistance, but the effectiveness of combination strategies in this group is still controversial. This study aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of the original EGFR-TKI combined with bevacizumab in advanced and metastatic lung adenocarcinoma patients harboring EGFR-mutation who experience gradual progression in a real-world setting.

Methods

From June 2019 to December 2021, a total of 35 metastatic EGFR positive NSCLC patients experienced gradual progression after EGFR-TKI treatments and received original TKI comb
