| Abstract | Background The present study aimed to investigate physicians’ perspectives on the diagnosis and treatment decisions for patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harbouring epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) exon 20 insertion (exon20ins) mutations in a real-world setting in China using an online questionnaire. Methods This study was performed via the CAPTRA-Lung collaboration between December 9, 2022 and March 6, 2023. The questionnaire was distributed digitally to physicians around China and was comprised of three sections: basic characteristics of surveyed physicians, diagnosis and treatment status of NSCLC patients with the EGFR exon20ins-mutation, and physicians’ perspectives on treatment options. Physicians who treat more than 10 patients with advanced NSCLC every month and who have treated patients with advanced EGFR exon20ins-mutant NSCLC in the past six months were involved in this study. Results A total of 53,729 questionnaires were distributed and 390 valid ones were collected. The EGFR mutation test was performed in 80.9% and 59.9% of patients receiving first-line or second-line therapy and beyond (hereinafter “second-line”)therapy, respectively. In terms of treatment options, chemotherapy plus antiangiogenic therapy was the most common treatment option (30.0% of patients in first-line settings; 25.0% of patients in second-line settings), and a certain proportion of patients received novel EGFR exon20ins-targeted agents (including tyrosine kinase inhibitors [TKIs] and bispecific antibodies) in first- or second-line settings, which accounted for 11.9% and 15.7% of all treated patients, respectively. Additionally, physicians reported the highest satisfaction score for the efficacy and safety of targeted agents. Most physicians believed that EGFR exon20ins-targeted TKIs represented the most promising treatment option (80.2% in first-line treatment and 73.3% in second-line treatment). Among several novel agents under study, sunvozertinib has received the highest recognition for efficacy and safety. Conclusions This study investigated the current diagnosis and treatment status and physicians’ perspective, of patients with EGFR exon20ins-mutant NSCLC. The results highlight significant unmet clinical needs in this subgroup of patients. EGFR exon20ins-targeted TKIs were recognized as the most promising treatment regimen and may benefit more patients considering their awareness and acceptance of targeted therapy. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
