BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: The epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFRTKI) shows favorable antitumor activity against chemorefractory non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, patients with advanced NSCLC have limited treatment options available if they are refractory to EGFR-TKI. To study the influence of the retreatment EGFR-TKI after failure of first-line TKI, we carried out this retrospective study. METHODS: Total 71 patients were analyzed who experienced treatment failure from their initial use of EGFR-TKI. After a period of time, they were retreated with TKI as tumor progression was observed. RESULTS: Of the 71 patients who received retreatment TKI, it was observed in 7% in partial response (PR), 36.6% in stable disease (SD), 56.3% in progressive disease (PD). Disease control rate (DCR) was 43.7%. Twenty-six (36.6%) patients were well controlled by retreatment with TKI monotherapy for not less than 3 months. Five (7.0%) patients had partial response. Exon 21 mutation, PFS not less than 6 months during initial treatment TKI, and the interval not less than 3 months between initial treatment, and retreatment with TKI was associated with a good progression free survival based on univariate COX analysis (P=0.034; P=0.013; P=0.046). CONCLUSIONS: It has been shown the possibility that retreatment with TKI might be useful when (1) Exon 21 has active mutation, (2) initial treatment shows a favorable PFS (≥ 6 months), and (3) there has been a period of time (≥3 months) following the termination of the initial TKI treatment.

再次应用TKI治疗患者EGFR突变状况与疗效分析
再次应用TKI的患者中,PR为7%,SD为36.6%,PD为56.3%,DCR为43.7%(表 2)。表 4显示了再次应用TKI的有效率与EGFR突变的关系。35例患者存在EGFR突变,再次应用TKI的疗效:PR为5.7%,SD为45.7%,PD为48.6%,DCR为51.4%。27例患者无EGFR突变,再次应用TKI的疗效:PR为11.1 %,SD为44.4%,PD为44.4%,DCR为55.5%。再次应用TKI的缓解率及DCR在EGFR突变阴性和阳性的患者中均无明显差别(5.7% vs 11.1%, P=0.788; 51.4% vs 55.5%, P=0.849)。
