2Outline Long-term management EGFR mutated NSCLC
patients
3EGFR mutations
- Found in 10 - 15 of all lung cancer patients
and 85 who clinically respond to EGFR TKIs - Found more commonly in never-smokers,
adenocarcinomas, BAC, women, Asians - Predominantly located in EGFR exons 19 - 21
- EGFR mutations are not the same. There are
sensitive mutations and acquired resistance
mutations (T790M). - 85 of EGFR mutations are either deletion exon 19
or L858 mutation.

10EGFR mutant on TKI develops oligometastatic PD
- Continue EGFR TKI
- Utilize radiation therapy or surgical resection
- Close monitoring
- Several studies demonstrate additional PFS
benefit (6.2-10 months) and possibly OS (41
months) benefit with this strategy.

12Flare of Disease after EGFR TKI discontinuation
in acquired resistance
- Rapid disease acceleration leading to
hospitalization and/or death after EGFR TKI
cessation occurs in up to 23 (n14) of patients
in MSKCC series (n61).

- There are concerns over combining erlotinib-chemo
as erlotinib arrests the cancer cells in the G1
checkpoint and chemo usually works best in the
mitotic phase.

- Critique
- FAST ACT 2 has a maintenance portion with the
EGFR TKI and this affects clinical outcomes - SATURN maintenance trial proves PFS benefit in
EGFR mutant patients
Mok T et al. ASCO 2012
27Tsao Summary on Acquired Resistance
- For local oligo-PD, continue EGFR TKI and apply
local therapy. - For more global PD 4 options until future trials
elaborate on acquired resistance - Chemo
- Chemo EGFR TKI
- Chemo then EGFR TKI
- Chemo intercalated with EGFR TKI
- Ultimately Re-biopsy and molecular profile will
determine the optimal therapy -

- Front-line afatinib improved QOL, RR, DCR, and

overall EGFR mutation population and in the
common EGFR mutation (del19/L858) patients. - Subgroup analysis showed benefit across most of
the subgroups. - No new safety signals with diarrhea and rash as
the most frequent AEs.
