Abstract

Abstract: Background: Osimertinib is a 3rd-generation, irreversible, oral EGFR-TKI that potently and selectively inhibits both EGFR-mutated (EGFRm) and EGFR T790M resistance mutations, and has demonstrated efficacy in NSCLC CNS metastases. In the Phase III FLAURA study (NCT02296125), osimertinib resulted in significant progression-free survival (PFS) benefit (primary endpoint; datacut off [DCO] 12 June 2017) over comparator EGFR-TKI (HR 0.46, p < 0.001). Overall survival (OS) data were immature (25% maturity) at that time. Here, we report the final OS analysis (58% maturity). Methods: Eligible patients (pts): ≥18 years (Japan: ≥20), treatment-naïve with Ex19del/L858R EGFRm advanced NSCLC; WHO performance status 0–1. Pts with stable CNS metastases not requiring steroids for ≥2 weeks were allowed. Pts were randomised 1:1 to osimertinib 80 mg once daily (qd) orally (po) or comparator EGFR-TKI (gefitinib 250 mg qd/erlotinib 150 mg qd po), stratified by mutation status (Ex19del/L858R) and race (Asian/non-Asian). Crossover was allowed for pts in the comparator EGFR-TKI arm upon central confirmation of progression and T790M positivity. Primary endpoint: PFS by RECIST v1.1, per investigator. OS was a secondary endpoint. DCO 25 June 2019. Results: Globally, 556 pts were randomised to osimertinib (n = 279) or comparator EGFR-TKI (n = 277). Per study protocol, 70 (25%) pts crossed over from comparator EGFR-TKI to osimertinib. Osimertinib significantly improved OS vs comparator EGFR-TKI. All causality AEs, per investigator: osimertinib, 98% (grade ≥3, 42%); comparator EGFR-TKI, 98% (grade ≥3, 47%). AEs leading to discontinuation: osimertinib, 15%; comparator EGFR-TKI, 18%. The safety profile appears consistent with previously reported data. Conclusions: Osimertinib provided a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in OS vs comparator EGFR-TKI in first-line pts with EGFRm advanced NSCLC.
