| Abstract | Purpose: This single-center, open-label, single-arm, phase II clinical trial aimed to examine the efficacy and safety of the first-generation EGFR-TKIs combined with chemotherapy among treatment-naïve advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients harboring sensitive EGFR mutations. Materials and Methods: Patients with advanced EGFR-mutant NSCLC were given concurrent gefitinib (250 mg orally daily) and 3-week cycle of carboplatin plus pemetrexed for 4 to 6 cycles, followed by gefitinib maintenance until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS), and the secondary endpoints were overall survival (OS), objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR) and safety. This trial was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT02886195). Results: Of the 21 patients enrolled in this study, a 76.2% ORR and 100% DCR were observed and a higher ORR was seen in patients with EGFR 21L858R mutations than in those with 19del mutations (P = 0.012). The subjects had a median PFS of 15.0 months and a median OS of 26.0 months, and numerically longer PFS was seen in patients with EGFR 21L858R mutations than in those with 19del mutations (P = 0.281). There were 15 NSCLC patients without cerebral metastases at baseline, with 4 cases developing cerebral metastases during the treatment, and the 6-, 12- and 24-month cumulative incidence rates of the central nervous system metastasis were 6.67%, 13.3% and 26.7%, respectively. There were 17 subjects with progressive diseases tested for EGFR T790M mutations, and 11 cases were positive for T790M mutations. Grade 3 toxicity included neutropenia (9.5%), leukopenia (4.8%), liver dysfunction (9.5%) and diarrhea (4.8%), and no grade 4 adverse events or treatment-related death occurred. Conclusion: The combination of first-generation EGFR-TKIs and chemotherapy achieves a satisfactory PFS, ORR and DCR and well-tolerated toxicity in advanced NSCLC patients with EGFR mutations, notably in patients with EGFR L858R mutations. |
