Abstract:

Objective(s): The aim of the present study was to assess the benefit of afatinib compared with gefitinib after chemotherapy progression in patients with advanced stage Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR)-mutated lung adenocarcinoma. Methods: This was a retrospective single-center study that analyzed the disease-free survival of advanced stage EGFR-mutated lung adenocarcinoma that was treated with Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors (TKIs) as a second or third-line treatment after chemotherapy. The study included patients with EGFR-mutated lung adenocarcinoma that was pathologically confirmed between 2011 and 2016 at the “Instituto Nacional de Enfermedades Respiratorias, Ismael Cosío” (INER). The primary endpoint was progression-free survival after TKIs as a second or third-line treatment. Results: We included 61 patients, among whom 24 (39.3%) received afatinib and 37 (60.6%) received gefitinib. The median progression-free survival for patients treated with afatinib was 11 months, which was significantly longer compared with those treated with gefitinib (8 months). Conclusion: We found better progression-free survival in those treated with afatinib as a second or third-line treatment after chemotherapy compared with gefitinib, with similar results in response rate.
