Onco Targets Ther 2024; 17:717-726. [PMID: 39234190 PMCID: PMC11371895 DOI: 10.2147/ott.s475836] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/27/2024] [Accepted: 08/23/2024] [Indexed: 09/06/2024] Open
Abstract
Purpose Osimertinib, a third-generation epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor, is the standard treatment for patients with non-small cell lung cancer harboring EGFR mutations. Although the frequency of osimertinib-induced interstitial lung disease (osi-ILD) is high, the optimal cancer treatment after osi-ILD has not been established. This time, we focused on the safety and efficacy of gefitinib following osi-ILD. Case Presentation We experienced six cases (five women and one man; median age: 74 years) in which gefitinib was administered after osi-ILD. All six cases had grade 2 or higher osi-ILD and required steroid treatment. The computed tomography imaging pattern of osi-ILD revealed organizing pneumonia in three cases, diffuse alveolar damage in two cases, and hypersensitivity pneumonia in one case. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status was 1 in four cases, 2 in one case, and 3 in one case. EGFR mutation status was exon 19 deletion in two cases and exon 21 L858R in four cases. Only one patient experienced recurrence of ILD after receiving gefitinib. The best response to gefitinib was partial response in two cases and stable disease in three cases; one case was not evaluable. The median progression-free survival after treatment with gefitinib was 190 days (95% confidence interval: 33-328). Conclusion The treatment with gefitinib after the development of osi-ILD was safe and effective. Gefitinib may be a promising option for patients who recovered from severe osi-ILD.

Abstract
The concurrent incidence of lung cancer and tuberculosis is expected to escalate due to the projected growth in the older population. Combination therapy with osimertinib and antituberculosis drugs has not been well-established. We report a case of successful treatment involving the concomitant administration of osimertinib and antituberculosis drugs in an older patient, an 89-year-old female, diagnosed with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutant lung cancer and pulmonary tuberculosis. Accumulating evidence is warranted to develop an optimal treatment strategy for patients with lung cancer and tuberculosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although osimertinib is a promising therapeutic agent for advanced epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation-positive lung cancer, the incidence of pneumonitis is particularly high among Japanese patients receiving the drug. Furthermore, the safety and efficacy of subsequent anticancer treatments, including EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) rechallenge, which are to be administered after pneumonitis recovery, remain unclear. OBJECTIVE This study investigated the safety of EGFR-TKI rechallenge in patients who experienced first-line osimertinib-induced pneumonitis, with a primary focus on recurrent pneumonitis. PATIENTS AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the data of patients with EGFR mutation-positive lung cancer who developed initial pneumonitis following first-line osimertinib treatment across 34 institutions in Japan between August 2018 and September 2020. RESULTS Among the 124 patients included, 68 (54.8%) patients underwent EGFR-TKI rechallenge. The recurrence rate of pneumonitis following EGFR-TKI rechallenge was 27% (95% confidence interval [CI] 17-39) at 12 months. The cumulative incidence of recurrent pneumonitis was significantly higher in the osimertinib group than in the first- and second-generation EGFR-TKI (conventional EGFR-TKI) groups (hazard ratio [HR] 3.1; 95% CI 1.3-7.5; p = 0.013). Multivariate analysis revealed a significant association between EGFR-TKI type (osimertinib or conventional EGFR-TKI) and pneumonitis recurrence, regardless of severity or status of initial pneumonitis (HR 3.29; 95% CI 1.12-9.68; p = 0.03). CONCLUSIONS Osimertinib rechallenge after initial pneumonitis was associated with significantly higher recurrence rates than conventional EGFR-TKI rechallenge.

Abstract
Osimertinib, the third generation epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI), is the standard treatment for nonsmall cell lung cancer with EGFR mutation. However, osimertinib-induced interstitial lung disease (OsiILD) is considered to be a serious adverse event, so some patients will have to discontinue the use of osimertinib due to OsiILD. Almonertinib is a novel third-generation EGFR-TKI. We herein report a patient who developed OsiILD after the use of osimertinib and then switched to almonertinib for further treatment with success. This is the first report of a successfull rechallenge with low-dose almonertinib after OsiILD. We also reviewed the literature to explore the possible risk factors and the subsequent treatment of OsiILD, suggesting that low-dose almonertinib may be an option for follow-up treatment of OsiILD.

Abstract
Mesenchymal epithelial transition factor receptor (MET) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (MET-TKIs) have been approved for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancers with MET exon 14 skipping mutations. Transient asymptomatic pulmonary opacities (TAPOs) associated with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-TKIs have been reported. Here, we report a case wherein ground-glass opacities (GGOs) appeared during the course of treatment with tepotinib, a MET-TKI, but spontaneously resolved with drug withdrawal, after which treatment was resumed with a reduced dose. Although there have been no reports of TAPOs with MET-TKIs, the clinical and imaging findings of this case were consistent with TAPOs. For TAPOs occurring because of MET-TKI, the drug can be continued under careful observation even if GGOs appear.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osimertinib is associated with a relatively high frequency of drug-induced interstitial lung disease (D-ILD), and transient asymptomatic pulmonary opacities (TAPO) have been reported to occur during osimertinib administration. The frequency of TAPO during first-line treatment and the pros and cons of osimertinib continuation is unknown. METHODS This was a multicenter, retrospective study. The purpose of this study was to research the frequency of TAPO and to evaluate osimertinib continuation in first-line therapy. We also evaluated progression-free survival (PFS) including subgroup analysis. RESULTS From August 2018 to December 2020, 133 patients were enrolled into the study. The median observation period was 23.2 months (0.3-48.3 months). Thirty patients (22.6%) experienced D-ILD events, including 16 patients (12.1%) with CTCAE grade 1, five patients (3.8%) with grade 2, and nine patients (6.7%) with grade 3 and above D-ILD. Among the patients with grade 1 D-ILD, 11 cases (8.3%) of TAPO were observed, and all patients succeeded in osimertinib continuation. The TAPO images were characterized by localized patchy opacities (73%). The median PFS was 22.6 months (95% confidence interval [CI]: 17.8-28.7 months). Patients with TAPO had a significantly longer PFS than patients with non-TAPO D-ILD in the multivariate analysis. CONCLUSIONS This study showed that grade 1 D-ILD might include TAPO and that patients with TAPO might have good PFS. We need to consider the possibility of osimertinib continuation when lung opacities appear.

Abstract
Osimertinib-induced interstitial lung disease (ILD) is an uncommon, but fatal pulmonary toxicity in some patients. We report a case of a 64-year-old male with stage IV adeno-non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring an exon 19 deletion in the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) treated with osimertinib 80 mg/d for first-line targeted therapy. On day 60 after initiating treatment of osimertinib, the patient developed ILD. Osimertinib was discontinued immediately and oral prednisone 60 mg/d was initiated, ILD improved within 13 d. After balancing the risk and benefit, osimertinib was restarted concurrently with prednisone. The patient showed neither disease progression nor a recurrence of ILD for more than 16 months. Based on our case and literature review, retreatment with osimertinib under steroid coverage could be considered as an effective treatment option after careful risk-benefit assessment for patients with EGFR-mutant NSCLC.

Abstract
Herein, we report the case of an 84-year-old woman with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation exon 19 deletion postoperative recurrent lung adenocarcinoma. Osimertinib was administered as a first-line treatment; however, she was urgently admitted to our hospital due to dyspnea on the 46th day. Chest computed tomography revealed bilateral diffuse ground-glass opacities (GGOs) suggestive of grade 3 osimertinib-induced interstitial lung disease (ILD). After discontinuation of osimertinib in combination with short-term corticosteroid therapy, widespread GGOs were promptly resolved. As the disease gradually deteriorated after discontinuation of osimertinib, we administered osimertinib (80 mg every other day) followed by careful observation. However, bilateral GGOs re-appeared on the 15th day, and the diagnosis of osimertinib-induced ILD was established. After the improvement in ILD following corticosteroid therapy, afatinib was administered as salvage therapy, resulting in desirable control of lung cancer without any relapse of ILD. Our results indicate that afatinib would be a promising alternative treatment option even in patients who develop osimertinib-induced ILD and experience failure of osimertinib rechallenge.

Abstract
Osimertinib is the standard treatment for epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutant non-small-cell lung cancer. However, drug-induced interstitial lung disease (ILD) is recognized as a serious adverse event associated with EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). We herein report a 78-year-old woman with stage IV lung adenocarcinoma harboring an EGFR L858R mutation on exon 21 who received rechallenge treatment with afatinib after osimertinib-induced ILD with an organizing pneumonia pattern. This is the first report of successful rechallenge with afatinib after osimertinib-induced ILD. Treatment with other EGFR-TKIs after osimertinib-induced ILD may be an option for subsequent therapy.

Abstract
Osimertinib is a third-generation epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) that has exhibited efficacy in patients with EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a fatal adverse event of osimertinib treatment, and it requires treatment discontinuation. There are few reports regarding the safety and efficacy of osimertinib re-challenge in patients who experienced osimertinib-induced ILD. This retrospective study assessed this treatment option. We retrospectively collected data for patients treated with osimertinib who developed ILD at Shizuoka Cancer Center from April 2016 to March 2020. ILD was diagnosed by two doctors based on imaging tests and blood tests to exclude other causes. Among 215 patients treated with osimertinib, 28 developed ILD. The median age of patients with ILD was 69.5 years (range, 39.0-80.0). In addition, 29% of patients were men, and 46% had a history of smoking. Eleven patients were re-administered EGFR TKIs, including eight patients treated with osimertinib and three patients treated with alternative EGFR TKIs. Among patients re-challenged with osimertinib, none who previously experienced grade 1 ILD exhibited ILD relapse, even with the same osimertinib dose and without the concurrent administration of systemic steroids. Meanwhile, one of the four patients who previously exhibited grade 2 ILD experienced despite a dose reduction for osimertinib and systemic steroid administration. For patients with EGFR-mutant NSCLC who experience grade 1 ILD during osimertinib therapy, osimertinib re-challenge may be suitable when no other treatments are available.

Abstract
Background Osimertinib is one of the first-line treatments for advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations. However, the occurrence rate of osimertinib-induced interstitial lung disease (ILD) is particularly high in Japanese patients and little information on subsequent cancer treatment options after recovery from osimertinib-induced ILD is currently available. Thus, this study aims to determine the safety and efficacy of afatinib for the treatment of NSCLC following osimertinib-induced ILD. Methods We retrospectively investigated the clinical courses of all NSCLC patients with EGFR mutations at our facility between August 2018 and September 2019, who received osimertinib as first-line treatment and were subsequently treated with afatinib after developing osimertinib-induced ILD. Results Forty-two patients received osimertinib treatment at our facility during the study period, and four patients received afatinib after developing osimertinib-induced ILD. All events of ILD improved either spontaneously or with steroid therapy before the initiation of afatinib. For the four patients who were retrospectively reviewed, the overall response rate to afatinib therapy was 75%, and the disease control rate was 100%. During the study period, no ILD recurrence was observed in any of the four patients. Conclusions According to our study findings, afatinib treatment after osimertinib-induced ILD is considered safe and effective and it can be used as one of the treatment options for NSCLC following osimertinib-induced ILD.
