BACKGROUND: Despite the well-established efficacies of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), there is limited real-world evidence comparing their effectiveness according to patients' clinical characteristics. This network meta-analysis (NMA) compared survival outcomes among first-line EGFR-TKIs in different subgroups of East Asian patients with advanced NSCLC.

METHODS: This NMA included real-world observational studies reporting outcomes with TKIs in patients aged >65 years, with baseline brain metastasis, with different Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) statuses, or with different common EGFR mutation types.

RESULTS: In patients with the EGFR L858R mutation, afatinib resulted in significantly longer progression-free survival (PFS) than erlotinib (hazard ratio [HR]: 0.59, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.46-0.75) and gefitinib (HR: 0.41, 95% CI: 0.32-0.53). Similarly, in patients with the EGFR Del19 mutation, afatinib and erlotinib resulted in significantly longer PFS than gefitinib (HR: 0.48 with 95% CI: 0.33-0.71 and HR: 0.54 with 95% CI: 0.36-0.80, respectively). Moreover, afatinib resulted in significantly longer PFS than gefitinib in patients with brain metastasis (HR: 0.53, 95% CI: 0.33-0.87) or ECOG status 0-1 (HR: 0.37, 95% CI: 0.23-0.59).

CONCLUSION: This NMA suggests that afatinib results in similar PFS to erlotinib and superior PFS than gefitinib in patients with Del19 mutant NSCLC, aged ≥65 years, with ECOG scores of 0-1, and with baseline brain metastasis.
