198eP Real-world outcomes on first-line osimertinib in EGFR-mutant NSCLC: Analysis of prognostic factors influencing overall survival

TCT. Ugalde CatarinellaPOP. Espinosa OlarteMSM. Scala

Key Points

  • This analysis examines prognostic factors affecting overall survival in patients with EGFR-mutant NSCLC treated with first-line osimertinib.
  • Conducted at four experienced sites in Vienna.
  • Analyzed demographic, clinical, and treatment-related data descriptively.
  • Included 28 patients predominantly with advanced adenocarcinoma.
  • Evaluated treatment lines, duration, dose reductions, and treatment holidays.
  • Most patients (89.2%) had stage IV disease.
  • Second-generation ALK inhibitors (ALKis) were used in 60.7% of first-line treatments.
  • Mean duration of treatment was 632.9 days for second-gen ALKis and 259.9 days for third-gen ALKis.
  • Dose reductions were more frequent in second-generation ALKis (62.5%).
  • 63.2% of patients were still undergoing treatment with third-generation ALKis at data cutoff.

Abstract

at four experienced sites in Vienna.ALK alterations were confirmed by next-generation sequencing.Demographic, clinical, and treatment-related data, including ALKi generation, treatment lines, duration, dose reductions, and treatment holidays, were analyzed descriptively.Results: Twenty-eight patients were included (median age 54 years; 46,4% female).Most patients presented with advanced disease (89.2% stage IV) and adenocarcinoma histology (92.9%).All patients received ALKi in first-line.Overall, 47 lines of treatment were administered to 28 patients.Of these treatment lines, 59.6% (n=28) ended and 40.4% (n=19) are currently ongoing.Second-generation ALKi were more frequently used in first-line (60.7%), whereas third-generation ALKi predominated in later lines.At data cutoff, treatment was ongoing in 63.2% of patients, receiving third-generation ALKi, compared with 33.3% treated with second-generation agents.Overall, the mean duration of treatment was 632.9 days (range: 40-1771) for second generation ALKis and 259.9 days (range: 34-537) for third generation ALKis.Dose reductions occurred more frequently with second-generation ALKi (62.5% vs. 37.5%).Treatment holidays were documented in approximately 22% of patients. Conclusions:In this real-world cohort, ALKi constituted the backbone of palliative treatment in ALK-positive NSCLC.Treatment patterns evolved toward increased use of third-generation ALKi, which were associated with sustained treatment continuation and manageable toxicity profiles.
