Abstract

Purpose

To examine the differential effects of SRS and TKI on EGFR-mutated NSCLC patients with brain metastases (BMs) and outcomes following continuation of the same TKI agent in case of new BMs.

Methods

This study included 608 NSCLC patients (2,274 BMs) while meta-analyses included 1,651 NSCLC patients (> 3,944 BMs). Overall survival (OS) and intracranial progression free survival (iPFS) were estimated using Kaplan-Meier methods. Hazard ratios (95% CI) of prognostic factors were estimated using Cox regression models.

Results

The median OS/iPFS (95% CI) (months) for patients with wildtype EGFR/ALK, EGFR mutations, and ALK rearrangements were 17.7 (12.9–23.6)/12.1 (9.8–15.6), 28.9 (23.8–33.3)/17.7 (14.8–21.2), and 118.0 (not reached)/71.7 (15.1–not reached), respectively. In EGFR-mutated patients, meta-analyses combining our data showed significantly improved OS and iPFS of patients who received SRS and TKI (OS:35.1 months, iPFS:20.0 months) when compared to those who have SRS alone (OS:20.8 months, iPFS:11.8 months) or TKI alone (OS:24.3 months, iPFS:13.8 months). Having SRS for newly diagnosed BMs while keeping the existing TKI agent yielded OS (30.0 vs. 32.1 months, p = 0.200) non-inferior to patients who started combined SRS and TKI therapy for their newly diagnosed NSCLC with BMs. Multivariable analyses showed that good performance score and TKI therapy were associated with improved outcomes.

Conclusions

Combined SRS and TKI resulted in favorable outcomes in EGFR-mutated NSCLC patients with newly diagnosed BMs. Continuation of the same TKI agent plus SRS in case of new brain metastases yielded good clinical outcomes and may be considered a standard-of-care treatment.
