Clinical observation of icotinib versus gefitinib in the treatment of EGFR-mutated advanced non-small cell lung cancer
To compare the efficacy and safety of icotinib and gefitinib in the treatment of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutated advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
METHODS
2
The data of 146 patients with EGFR-mutant advanced NSCLC of our Hospital from December 2015 to September 2021 were retrospectively analyzed and divided into the gefitinib group (73 cases) and the icotinib group (73 cases) according to the drug use. Patients in the gefitinib group were given 0.25 g of gefitinib tablets once a day orally by single drug or combined with conventional chemotherapy, while patients in the icotinib group were given 125 mg of icotinib hydrochloride tablets three times a day orally by single drug or combined with conventional chemotherapy. Short-term efficacy, progression-free survival (PFS) were observed; Cox regression model was used to analyze the factors affecting the prognosis of patients; the occurrence of ADR were observed in the two groups.
RESULTS
2
There was no statistically significant difference in the objective remission rate, disease control rate, and the incidence of grade 1-2 and grade 3-4 adverse drug reactions between the two groups (
P
>0.05); median PFS was significantly better in the icotinib group than in the gefitinib group (
P
=0.048). Results of subgroup analysis based on patients basic information showed that compared with the gefitinib group, PFS of female [HR=0.57,95%CI(0.34,0.96),
P
=0.031] and non-brain metastatic patients [HR=0.58,95%CI(0.36,0.91),
P
=0.017] in icotinib group were prolonged significantly. Results of regression model analysis showed that EGFR19 exon Del mutation [HR=0.50, 95%CI(0.25,1.00),
=0.022] and icotinib treatment [HR=0.65, 95%CI (0.44,0.96),
P
=0.030] were influential factors for prognosis.
CONCLUSIONS
2
The short-term efficacy and safety of icotinib and gefitinib in the treatment of EGFR-mutant advanced NSCLC are comparable, but icotinib can significantly prolong the patients’ PFS; EGFR19 exon Del, EGFR21 exon L858R mutations and icotinib treatment are factors affecting patients’ prognosis.
