Abstract
Background: The study was designed to evaluate the response rate, time of treatment failure and adverse effects of second - generation TKIs (Afatinib) in a group of patients with advanced stage non - small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), carryinguncommon EGFR gene mutationsat Vietnam National Cancer Hospital.
Patients and methods: 25 patients were diagnosed with stage IIIC-IV non - small cell lung cancer (AJCC 8th), histopathology is adenocarcinoma, with uncommon EGFR gene mutations, treated with second - generation TKIs at Vietnam National Cancer Hospitalfrom January 2018 to March 2022
Results: The response rate reached 72% and the disease control rate was 92%. The median time of treatment free survival (mTTF) was 16.1 ± 4.3 months. 52% of patients had compounded mutation, 48% carried a single mutation. The three mutation kind with the highest prevalence were G719X (60%), S768I (44%), L861Q (16%). There were no significant differences in disease response, disease control and mTTF between the rare mutation subgroups. The double mutant had a significant mTTF of 19.1 months compared with the single mutant (7.3 months), p = 0.037.
Conclusion: First line of Afatinib treatment is effective in Vietnamese patients with advanced stage NSCLC with uncommon EGFR mutations. This choice of treatmenthad a good response and prolonged TTF with manageable toxicity. However, our results need to be further supported by further studies with larger sample sizes.
