This study investigated the impact of different durations of adjuvant therapy on recurrence rates in patients with EGFR-mutant non-small-cell lung cancer. The results showed a lower recurrence rate and longer median recurrence-free survival in the 2-year group compared to the 3-month group.
PURPOSE For patients with surgically resected disease, multiple studies suggest a benefit of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in delaying cancer recurrence. The necessary duration of therapy for benefit is unknown. MATERIALS AND METHODS This randomized phase II study enrolled patients with completely resected stage IA-IIIB EGFR-mutant non-small-cell lung cancer (American Joint Committee on Cancer 7th edition) after stage-appropriate standard-of-care adjuvant therapy. Patients were randomly assigned 1:1 to 3 months or 2 years of adjuvant afatinib starting at 30 mg by mouth daily. Computed tomography imaging was performed every 6 months for 3 years and then annually. The primary study end point for this planned 92-patient trial was recurrence rate at 2 years from randomization. A 20% improvement (from 70% with 3 months to 90% with 2 years) was targeted. RESULTS Forty-six patients enrolled and 45 were treated. The assigned course of afatinib treatment was completed by 96% (22/23) of patients in the 3-month group and only 41% (9/22) in the 2-year group. The 2-year recurrence-free survival (RFS) rates were 70% in the 3-month group and 81% in the 2-year group (P= .55). The median RFS was 42.8 months in the 3-month group and 58.6 months in the 2-year group. Side effects were consistent with those previously described for afatinib. CONCLUSION Recurrences at 2 years were 11% less common with 2 years versus 3 months of adjuvant afatinib. This difference did not meet the 20% primary study target, likely because of underaccrual and early drug discontinuation on the 2-year group. With the availability of osimertinib with better efficacy and tolerability than earlier-generation agents, the optimal duration of adjuvant EGFR TKI therapy remains an important question.
