    Comparison of Alectinib/Crizotinib Data in First-Line Therapy in Patients with Anaplastic Lymphomakinase- Positive Nonsmall Cell Lung Carcinoma with Poor Prognostic Features for Alectinib
    (Aves, 2023) Katgi, Nuran; Cimen, Pinar; Akyol, Murat; Gursoy, Pinar; Aguloglu, Nursin
    OBJECTIVE: Alectinib has a much better central nervous system transmission than crizotinib in patients diagnosed with anaplastic lym-phoma kinase mutation-positive nonsmall cell lung carcinoma. We aimed to investigate alectinib's efficacy in the treatment and its place in the first-line treatment and report our real-life data. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The data of 38 patients who were diagnosed with anaplastic lymphoma kinase-positive nonsmall cell lung carcinoma in our clinic between 2016 and 2021, who did not receive any treatment before were retrospectively analyzed. RESULTS: Of the 19 patients who received alectinib, 14 had multiple, and 6 had pretreatment brain metastases. No newly emerging brain metastases were detected during the treatment period. The progression-free survival of patients was 23.5 & PLUSMN; 4.2 months, and overall survival was 24.6 & PLUSMN; 4.1 months. Progression was observed in 10 (52.6%) patients. Of the 19 patients who received crizotinib, 7 had multiple metastases, and brain metastases were detected in 1 patient before treatment and 6 patients during the treatment period. Progression-free survival of crizotinib patients was 17.1 & PLUSMN; 4.8 months and their overall survival was 26.5 & PLUSMN; 6.1 months. Progression was observed in 17 (89.5%) patients. The second line of alectinib could be given to 8 of these patients. Overall survival after second-line treatment of alectinib was 18.2 & PLUSMN; 7.0 months. Overall survival of the patients who could not receive second-line treatment of alectinib was 4.0 & PLUSMN; 2.0 months. CONCLUSION: The progression rate was lower in alectinib than the crizotinib patients, although there were more patients with multiple metastases and brain metastases in the alectinib arm.

    Real-life comparison of afatinib and erlotinib in non-small cell lung cancer with rare EGFR exon 18 and exon 20 mutations: a Turkish Oncology Group (TOG) study

    Objectives To compare the survival of first- and second-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in patients with rare EGFR exon 18 and exon 20 mutation-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Materials and methods We retrospectively evaluated survival characteristics of 125 patients with EGFR exon 18 and exon 20 mutated NSCLC who received erlotinib or afatinib as first line treatment between 2012 and 2021 from 34 oncology centres. Since exon 20 insertion is associated with TKI resistance, these 18 patients were excluded from the study. Results EGFR exon 18 mutations were seen in 60%, exon 20 mutations in 16%, and complex mutations in 24% of the patients with NSCLC who were evaluated for the study. There were 75 patients in erlotinib treated arm and 50 patients in afatinib arm. Patients treated with erlotinib had progression-free survival time (PFS) of 8.0 months and PFS was 7.0 months in the afatinib arm (p = 0.869), while overall survival time (OS) was 20.0 vs 24.8 months, respectively (p = 0.190). PFS of exon 18 mutated arm was 7.0 months, exon 20 mutated arm was 4.3 months, and complex mutation positive group was 17.3 months, and this was statistically significant (p = 0.036). The longest OS was 32.5 months, seen in the complex mutations group, which was not statistically different than exon 18 and in exon 20 mutated groups (21.0 and 21.2 months, respectively) (p = 0.323). Conclusion In this patient group, especially patients with complex mutations are as sensitive to EGFR TKI treatment similar to classical mutations, and in patients with rare exon 18 and exon 20 EGFR mutation both first- and second-generation EGFR-TKIs should be considered, especially as first- and second-line options.
