QT-Interval Prolongation, Torsades de Pointes, and Heart Failure With EGFR Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer: Systematic Review. Clin Lung Cancer 2024; 25:285-318. [PMID: 38553324 DOI: 10.1016/j.cllc.2024.02.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/25/2023] [Revised: 02/07/2024] [Accepted: 02/11/2024] [Indexed: 06/01/2024]
Abstract
A systematic literature review was conducted to determine the incidence and mortality of QT-interval prolongation (QTp), torsades de pointes (TdP), and heart failure (HF) in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who received epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) TKIs. Of 296 identified publications, 95 met eligibility criteria and were abstracted for QTp/TdP and HF outcomes (QTp/TdP: 83 publications, including 5 case study publications; HF: 79 publications, including 6 case study publications [involving 8 patients]). QTp incidence ranged from 0% to 27.8% in observational studies and from 0% to 11% in clinical trials, with no deaths due to QTp. There were no TdP events or deaths due to TdP. The incidence of HF ranged from 0% to 8%, and HF mortality rates ranged from 0% to 4%. Patients receiving treatment with EGFR TKIs should be monitored for signs of QTp, TdP, and HF per prescribing information. Standardized definitions and methods to improve monitoring of QTp, TdP, and HF-related events are needed in patients with NSCLC.

Abstract
Background Lung cancers are common worldwide. First-line targeted therapy and chemotherapy are both standard treatments in the current guidelines. With the development of new anticancer therapy, the lifespan of patients with late-stage lung cancer has increased. Cardiovascular events can occur during cancer treatment. This observational study aimed to report the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) after cancer treatment using real-world data. Objectives Patients diagnosed with advanced-stage lung cancer between January 2011 and December 2017 were enrolled. Data were collected from the Chang Gung Research Database (CGRD). Design Retrospective cohort study. Methods Baseline characteristics, clinical stages, pathologies, and outcomes were retrieved from the CGRD. Results We identified 4406 patients with advanced lung cancer, of whom 2197 received first-line epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI) therapy and 2209 received first-line platinum-based chemotherapy. Most patients in the first-line EGFR-TKI group were never-smokers (74.9%), whereas those in the first-line chemotherapy group were ever-smokers (66.0%). The incidence of MACE was not significantly different between the two groups (12.0% versus 11.9%, p = 0.910). However, the incidence of ischemic stroke was higher in the first-line EGFR-TKI group than in the first-line chemotherapy group (3.9% versus 1.9%, p < 0.001). Conclusion MACEs are common in patients with advanced-stage lung cancer during treatment. The incidence of MACE was similar between the first-line EGFR-TKI therapy and first-line chemotherapy groups. Although more patients in the EGFR-TKI group were female and never-smokers, the risk of ischemic stroke was higher in patients who received first-line EGFR-TKI therapy than in those who received first-line chemotherapy.

Abstract
OPINION STATEMENT With the development of molecular biology and histology techniques, targeted therapy for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has emerged, which is highly effective and has marginal side effects. Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) was the first driver gene discovered, whose three generations of therapeutic use have its characteristics and benefits in clinical practice. However, cardiovascular complications by EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) in preclinical studies have been increasingly reported, including heart failure, cardiomyopathy, and QT prolongation, among others. Cardiotoxicity of targeted drugs significantly affects the therapeutic effect of NSCLC and has become the second leading cause of death in NSCLC. The aim of the present review was to recognize the potential cardiotoxicity of third-generation targeted drugs in the treatment of NSCLC and their associated mechanisms to help clinicians identify and prevent it early in the treatment, minimize the cardiotoxicity of targeted drugs, and improve the therapeutic effect of patients.

Abstract
The epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKIs) has become one of the important targeted drugs for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). But the cardiac adverse events (AEs) related to the EGFR-TKI treatment occur frequently. And the cases of TKI-associated cardiac AEs remain poorly understood. In order to study the effects of EGFR-TKIs on cardiomyocytes, atomic force microscopy (AFM) was used to measure and analyze the physical properties of cardiomyocytes under the actions of three drugs (gefitinib, afatinib and osimertinib) with different concentrations. By comparing the height, adhesion, Young's modulus, the amplitude and the time of the contraction and relaxation process, it was found that the changes of the mechanical properties of cells were well correlated with the symptoms of AEs, such as cardiomyocyte hypertrophy, QT prolongation, atrial fibrillation, ejection fraction reductions, and cardiac failure. In addition, osimertinib has the most obvious effect on cardiomyocytes at a low concentration, and gefitinib has the greatest effect with the increase of concentration, while afatinib has the least effect on cardiomyocytes. This provides a new method for screening drugs and exploring the principle of action in the process of cancer treatment at the cellular level.

Abstract
Background Ejection fraction (EF) is a key component of heart failure (HF) classification, including the increasingly codified HF with mildly reduced EF (HFmrEF) category. However, the biologic basis of HFmrEF as an entity distinct from HF with preserved EF (HFpEF) and reduced EF (HFrEF) has not been well characterized. Methods The EXSCEL trial randomized participants with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) to once-weekly exenatide (EQW) vs. placebo. For this study, profiling of ∼5000 proteins using the SomaLogic SomaScan platform was performed in baseline and 12-month serum samples from N=1199 participants with prevalent HF at baseline. Principal component analysis (PCA) and ANOVA (FDR p<0.1) were used to determine differences in proteins between three EF groups, as previously curated in EXSCEL (EF>55% [HFpEF], EF 40-55% [HFmrEF], EF<40% [HFrEF]). Cox proportional hazards was used to assess association between baseline levels of significant proteins, and changes in protein level between baseline and 12-month, with time-to-HF hospitalization. Mixed models were used to assess whether significant proteins changed differentially with exenatide vs. placebo therapy. Results Of N=1199 EXSCEL participants with prevalent HF, 284 (24%), 704 (59%) and 211 (18%) had HFpEF, HFmrEF and HFrEF, respectively. Eight PCA protein factors and 221 individual proteins within these factors differed significantly across the three EF groups. Levels of the majority of proteins (83%) demonstrated concordance between HFmrEF and HFpEF, but higher levels in HFrEF, predominated by the domain of extracellular matrix regulation, e.g. COL28A1 and tenascin C [TNC]; p<0.0001. Concordance between HFmrEF and HFrEF was observed in a minority of proteins (1%) including MMP-9 (p<0.0001). Biologic pathways of epithelial mesenchymal transition, ECM receptor interaction, complement and coagulation cascades, and cytokine receptor interaction demonstrated enrichment among proteins with the dominant pattern, i.e. HFmrEF-HFpEF concordance. Baseline levels of 208 (94%) of the 221 proteins were associated with time-to-incident HF hospitalization including domains of extracellular matrix (COL28A1, TNC), angiogenesis (ANG2, VEGFa, VEGFd), myocyte stretch (NT-proBNP), and renal function (cystatin-C). Change in levels of 10 of the 221 proteins from baseline to 12 months (including increase in TNC) predicted incident HF hospitalization (p<0.05). Levels of 30 of the 221 significant proteins (including TNC, NT-proBNP, ANG2) were reduced differentially by EQW compared with placebo (interaction p<0.0001). Conclusions In this HF substudy of a large clinical trial of people with T2DM, we found that serum levels of most proteins across multiple biologic domains were similar between HFmrEF and HFpEF. HFmrEF may be more biologically similar to HFpEF than HFrEF, and specific related biomarkers may offer unique data on prognosis and pharmacotherapy modification with variability by EF.

Abstract
Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) are a class of membrane spanning cell-surface receptors that transmit extracellular signals through the membrane to trigger diverse intracellular signaling through tyrosine kinases (TKs), and play important role in cancer development. Therapeutic approaches targeting RTKs such as vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR), epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), and platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR), and TKs, such as c-Src, ABL, JAK, are widely used to treat human cancers. Despite favorable benefits in cancer treatment that prolong survival, these tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) and monoclonal antibodies targeting RTKs are also accompanied by adverse effects, including cardiovascular toxicity. Mechanisms underlying TKI-induced cardiovascular toxicity remain unclear. The transient receptor potential melastatin-subfamily member 7 (TRPM7) is a ubiquitously expressed chanzyme consisting of a membrane-based ion channel and intracellular α-kinase. TRPM7 is a cation channel that regulates transmembrane Mg2+ and Ca2+ and is involved in a variety of (patho)physiological processes in the cardiovascular system, contributing to hypertension, cardiac fibrosis, inflammation, and atrial arrhythmias. Of importance, we and others demonstrated significant cross-talk between TRPM7, RTKs, and TK signaling in different cell types including vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), which might be a link between TKIs and their cardiovascular effects. In this review, we summarize the implications of RTK inhibitors (RTKIs) and TKIs in cardiovascular toxicities during anti-cancer treatment, with a focus on the potential role of TRPM7/Mg2+ as a mediator of RTKI/TKI-induced cardiovascular toxicity. We also describe the important role of TRPM7 in cancer development and cardiovascular diseases, and the interaction between TRPM7 and RTKs, providing insights for possible mechanisms underlying cardiovascular disease in cancer patients treated with RTKI/TKIs.

Abstract
Introduction Osimertinib is a third-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) indicated for the treatment of epidermal growth factor receptor mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). It has demonstrated better results concerning effectiveness than other TKIs for the same indication. However, despite a good safety profile, it could produce some cardiotoxicity that does not occur with other drugs of the same group. Case report We report the evolution and management of a female patient diagnosed with NSCLC who developed a grade 3 cardiotoxicity due to treatment with osimertinib. This patient suffered from a left bundle branch block, dyslipidemia, and hypertension as cardiovascular risk factors. After a long period of treatment with osimertinib, she developed a severe heart failure (HF) with an important decrease in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), which triggered an admission to the oncology unit for eight days. Management and outcomes Treatment with osimertinib was first suspended and then resumed after stabilization of the HF. She also developed atrial fibrillation during admission and has required narrow cardiac monitoring and management since the debut of the HF. After evaluating the benefit-risk balance, osimertinib was reintroduced and the patient continues in treatment at the moment, although the baseline LVEF is not recovered. Discussion There is scarce evidence in the literature concerning HF and important LVEF decrease due to osimertinib. However, its severity and repercussion for the patient justify the thorough screening of cardiovascular risk factors before starting the therapy.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Multiple case reports and case series have been published on heart failure due to epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR TKIs), yet the management and outcome of the said disease have been scarcely discussed in sufficient details. This review is aimed at characterizing the signs, symptoms, laboratory parameters, and outcomes of this entity by analyzing recent published case reports and case series reporting new-onset heart failure in non-small cell lung cancer tumor (NSCLC) patients who are being treated with EGFR TKIs.
Methods
This is a systematic review of case reports and case series for cases of EGFR TKI-induced heart failure. A systematic search was conducted across a number of databases starting with PubMed databases utilizing its MeSH database; after that, a complementary search through Google Scholar was conducted.
Results
In total, 23 cases of epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor-induced heart failure were included. The majority of the reported case were females (20 females and three males) with a male-to-female ratio of 1:6.6. Ages ranged from 47 to 91 years of age with a mean age of 70.73 and a median of 71 years of age. Symptom improvement and being symptom-free from a heart failure perspective after treatment from the acute event were observed in 18 cases (78.26%) while heart failure progressively worsened and led to the death of the patient in only one case (4.3%).
Conclusion
The utilization of EGFR TKIs in NSCLCs has been associated with a better outcome and fewer side effects when compared to classical chemotherapeutic agents. However, cardiotoxic effects, such as heart failure, could be significant for a small proportion of patients. Recent papers have reported heart failure in younger and cardiac risk-free patients. Still, it is only advised to monitor for heart failure in the high-risk group. Treatment should be individualized and based on a case-by-case basis.

Abstract
Osimertinib was a third-generation, irreversible epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI), which approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2015 for treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Our study was to explore the adverse events (AEs) caused by osimertinib through data mining of the US FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS), and provide reference for clinical safety. Data of osimertinib were collected from the FAERS database covering the period from first quarter of 2016 to the fourth quarter of 2021. Disproportionality analyses was employed to quantify the associated AE signals of osimertinib and detect the risk signals from the data in the FAERS database. Reporting odds ratio (ROR) was used to detect the risk signals from the data in the FAERS database. The definition relied on system organ class (SOCs) and preferred terms (PTs) by the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA). Totally, 9,704,33 reports were collected from the FAERS database, 10,804 reports of osimertinib were identified as the 'primary suspected (PS)' AEs. Osimertinib induced AEs occurred in 27 organ systems. 68 significant disproportionality PTs satisfying with the four algorithms were retained at the same time. Unexpected significant AEs such as scrotal volvulus, hepatic function abnormal, venous thromboembolisms might also occur. The median onset time of osimertinib-associated AEs was 58 days (interquartile range [IQR] 14-212 days), and the majority of the AEs occurred within the first 30 days after osimertinib initiation. Our study found significant new AEs signals of osimertinib and might provide support for clinical monitoring and risk identification of osimertinib.

Front Cardiovasc Med 2022; 9:986570. [PMID: 36237897 PMCID: PMC9552878 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2022.986570] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/05/2022] [Accepted: 08/29/2022] [Indexed: 01/09/2023] Open
Abstract
Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are widely used in cancer treatment due to their effectiveness in cancer cell killing. However, an off-target of this agent limits its success. Cardiotoxicity-associated TKIs have been widely reported. Tyrosine kinase is involved in many regulatory processes in a cell, and it is involved in cancer formation. Recent evidence suggests the role of tyrosine kinase in cardiovascular calcification, specifically, the calcification of heart vessels and valves. Herein, we summarized the accumulating evidence of the crucial role of receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) in cardiovascular calcification and provided the potential clinical implication of TKIs-related ectopic calcification. We found that RTKs, depending on the ligand and tissue, can induce or suppress cardiovascular calcification. Therefore, RTKs may have varying effects on ectopic calcification. Additionally, in the context of cardiovascular calcification, TKIs do not always relate to an unfavored outcome-they might offer benefits in some cases.

Ewer MS, Herson J. Cardiovascular adverse events in oncology trials: understanding and appreciating the differences between clinical trial data and real-world reports. CARDIO-ONCOLOGY (LONDON, ENGLAND) 2022; 8:13. [PMID: 35854393 PMCID: PMC9295280 DOI: 10.1186/s40959-022-00139-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/27/2022] [Accepted: 06/22/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Reports of cardiac adverse events from oncology clinical trials often are at variance with reports derived from clinical observations or data-base reviews. These differences may lead to confusion, as different levels of risks abound in the literature, and the true cardiac risk of using some agents is uncertain. Additionally, such discrepancies may lead to the creation of over-cautious surveillance algorithms. Reasons for these reported differences are complex and often reflect subtleties in the criteria for individual patient evaluation. Both clinical trial data and real-world data have potential flaws that make reconciliation problematic. Importantly, however, both provide crucial information regarding the risk of adverse events. Major factors contribute to these differences including different tools used to diagnose events, and how those tools are interpreted. Additionally, differences in the populations of clinical trial participants and real-world populations play a crucial role. This paper looks at these differences and provides a perspective intended to help clinicians interpret reported variations in event rates derived from highly scrutinized clinical trials and broader real-world data.

Aumolertinib Effectively Reduces Clinical Symptoms of an EGFR L858R-Mutant Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Case Coupled With Osimertinib-Induced Cardiotoxicity: Case Report and Review. Front Endocrinol (Lausanne) 2022; 13:833929.

Abstract
Osimertinib, a third-generation epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI) first-line therapy, has shown good clinical outcomes in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), but some serious adverse events such as cardiotoxicity have also been reported. Here, we present the first NSCLC case with osimertinib-induced cardiac failure. The case is successfully being treated by switching to another third-generation TKI, aumolertinib. A 62-year-old non-smoking woman was initially diagnosed with stage cT2aN2M1c IVB NSCLC with synchronous brain and bone metastasis in April 2020. Further genetic screening of the patient identified Leu858Arg (L858R) mutation in EGFR; thus, the patient was administered third-generation TKI osimertinib (80 mg/day) for 6 months. This treatment with osimertinib led to serious cardiac failure but no significant reduction in NSCLC tumor size. To cope with these conditions, another third-generation TKI, aumolertinib (110 mg/day), along with a supplement treatment plan was prescribed to the patient. Interestingly, this new treatment plan of aumolertinib significantly inhibited tumor growth in 8 months. Therefore, we conclude that the administration of second-line aumolertinib 110 mg/day has fewer adverse reactions and high efficacy against NSCLC as compared to osimertinib therapy.

Abstract
Oncology has seen growing use of newly developed targeted therapies. Although this has resulted in dramatic improvements in progression-free and overall survival, challenges in the management of toxicities related to longer-term treatment of these therapies have also become evident. Although a targeted approach often exploits the differences between cancer cells and noncancer cells, overlap in signaling pathways necessary for the maintenance of function and survival in multiple cell types has resulted in systemic toxicities. In particular, cardiovascular toxicities are of important concern. In this review, we highlight several targeted therapies commonly used across a variety of cancer types, including HER2 (human epidermal growth factor receptor 2)+ targeted therapies, tyrosine kinase inhibitors, immune checkpoint inhibitors, proteasome inhibitors, androgen deprivation therapies, and MEK (mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase)/BRAF (v-raf murine sarcoma viral oncogene homolog B) inhibitors. We present the oncological indications, heart failure incidence, hypothesized mechanisms of cardiotoxicity, and potential mechanistic rationale for specific cardioprotective strategies.
