Non-small cell lung cancer with EGFR exon 20 insertion mutation: a systematic literature review and meta-analysis of patient outcomes

Introduction: EGFR exon 20 insertion mutation-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is rare, has a poor prognosis, and outcomes are not fully established. We describe and evaluate outcomes from real-world and clinical evidence in these patients.

Methods: A systematic literature review (SLR) identified interventional and real-world evidence (RWE) studies reporting clinical outcomes for EGFR exon 20 insertion mutation-positive NSCLC. Meta-analyses were conducted by line of therapy to synthesize pooled survival and response outcomes across RWE. Published evidence from interventional studies was summarized individually.

Results: The SLR identified 23 RWE and 19 original interventional studies. In the meta-analysis of RWE, pooled response and survival outcomes were low for first-line EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) and immuno-oncology (IO) agents. First-line chemotherapy resulted in a pooled ORR 25.7%, pooled PFS 5.6 months, and pooled OS 18.3 months. Pooled outcomes were further reduced in second or later lines (≥2 L): pooled ORR was 5.0%, 3.3%, and 13.9%; pooled PFS was 2.1 months, 2.3 months, and 4.4 months; and pooled OS was 14.1 months, 8.8 months, and 17.1 months (not a pooled result) for EGFR-TKIs, IO agents, and chemotherapy, respectively. Interventional studies reported outcomes for TKIs (mobocertinib, poziotinib, osimertinib, afatinib, CLN-081, DZD9008), a monoclonal antibody (amivantamab), and a heat shock protein 90 inhibitor (luminespib). While there is limited RWE for the recently approved agents mobocertinib and amivantamab, which specifically target exon 20 insertion mutations, interventional evidence supports their potential as effective treatment options.

Conclusions: Conventional treatments used in patients with EGFR exon 20 insertion mutation-positive NSCLC have limited efficacy, though chemotherapy appeared to be associated with better response and survival outcomes than non-exon 20 targeting EGFR-TKIs and IO agents. This supports the need to identify EGFR exon 20 insertion mutations as the availability of new targeted treatments may offer additional therapeutic options to these patients.

S1069 Luminespib (NVP-AUY922) Luminespib (AUY-922, NVP-AUY922, VER-52296) is a highly potent HSP90 inhibitor for HSP90α/β with IC50 of 13 nM /21 nM in cell-free assays, weaker potency against the HSP90 family members GRP94 and TRAP-1, exhibits the tightest binding of any small-molecule HSP90 ligand. Luminespib (AUY-922, NVP-AUY922) effectively downregulates and destabilizes the IGF-1Rβ protein and results in growth inhibition, autophagy and apoptosis. Phase 2.
