摘要
BACKGROUND:Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations are key drivers in a significant portion of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. While third-generation EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) such as osimertinib have demonstrated efficacy, the management of patients who continue to experience disease progression during treatment remains challenging. The emergence of drug resistance, including the development of secondary mutations, necessitates exploration of alternative treatment strategies. This study aims to evaluate and observe the efficacy and safety of almonertinib combined with anlotinib in patients after cancer progression during third-generation EGFR-TKI therapy.
METHODS:In this retrospective analysis, we included EGFR-mutated NSCLC patients who were resistant to third-generation EGFR-TKIs. All patients were treated with almonertinib combined with anlotinib. The clinical characteristics, treatment history, clinical benefits, and adverse events of these patients were retrospectively collected.
RESULTS:A total of 16 eligible patients were included in the analysis. The results revealed that combination therapy with almonertinib and anlotinib was effective in this patient cohort. The overall response rate was 25% and the disease control rate was 93.75%. The 6 and 12 months of PFS rates were 92.9% (95% confidence interval [CI] 80.3%, 100.0%) and 84.4% (95% CI 66.6%, 100.0%), respectively. Moreover, this combination therapy was generally well-tolerated, with manageable adverse events.
CONCLUSION:Our retrospective analysis suggests that almonertinib and anlotinib combination therapy may represent a viable option for EGFR-mutated NSCLC patients who have progressed on third-generation EGFR-TKIs, especially for those with posterior lines and no standard treatment options. Further investigation and larger clinical trials are warranted to validate these observations and refine treatment guidelines.
