Abstrakt: Objectives: Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations (EGFRm) are common oncogene drivers in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This real-world study explored treatment patterns and time to receive EGFRm test results in patients with advanced EGFRm NSCLC.
Methods: A cross-sectional medical chart review was completed May-August 2020 in Australia, Canada, Germany, Italy, South Korea, Taiwan, UK, and USA. Eligible patients had advanced NSCLC and a positive EGFRm test result January-December 2017. Data were abstracted from NSCLC diagnosis to end of follow-up (31 March 2020) or patient's death whichever occurred earlier. The index date was the date of EGFRm confirmation.
Results: 223 physicians provided data for 1,793 patients. Patients' mean age was 64.7 years, 54 % were male, 30.7 % had no history of smoking. Overall, 78 % of EGFRm test results were received ≤ 2 weeks after request (range of median 7-14 days across countries). Median time from advanced NSCLC diagnosis to EGFRm test result was 18 days (median range 10-22 days across countries). Over a third (37 %) of patients received a systemic treatment prior to EGFRm result; chemotherapy (25 %) and EGFR-TKI (15 %) were most commonly prescribed; post-EGFR test-result was EGFR-TKI (68 %); 80 % of patients initiated EGFR-TKI at any time point post-NSCLC diagnosis. Of those receiving a first-line EGFR-TKI post-EGFRm testing, 84 % received a TKI alone, 12 % in combination with chemotherapy, and 3 % with other treatments. Median time from first-line EGFR-TKI initiation post-EGFRm testing to first subsequent treatment was 19.8 months.
Conclusion: Over one-fifth of patients wait >14 days for their EGFRm test results, affecting their likelihood of receiving first-line EGFR-TKI with 20 % of patients never receiving EGFR TKI treatment. There was significant inter-country variability in the proportion of patients receiving EGFR TKIs. Our study highlights the need to improve EGFRm testing turnaround times and treatment initiation across countries.
