TAILOR：厄洛替尼对比多西他赛作为EGFR野生型NSCLC患者二线治疗的III期研究

摘要：

Background: While the benefit of EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors in the treatment of patients with NSCLC harboring EGFR mutations has been widely established, their value in treating patients with wt EGFR is still debated. To assess the role of erlotinib in these patients, we performed an independent multicenter phase III trial (Tarceva Italian Lung Optimization Trial [TAILOR] NCT00637910), comparing erlotinib to docetaxel in second line treatment, having overall (OS) and progression free survival (PFS) as principal and secondary endpoints, respectively.

Methods: EGFR and KRAS mutational status were assessed by direct sequencing in all eligible patients; only patients with wt EGFR NSCLC (exons 19 and 21) at progression, and previously treated with a first line platinum-based regimen, were randomized to receive either erlotinib 150 mg daily or docetaxel 75 mg/m2 (3-weekly) or 35 mg/m2 (weekly) until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity occurred. To detect an hazard ratio of 0.67 (2-sided 5% significance level for the log-rank test and a power of 80%), 199 events were required for both OS and PFS evaluation.

Results: On the planned analysis date (March 30, 2012), 221 patients had been randomized and 218 were evaluable (docetaxel 110, erlotinib 108; three major violations excluded). At a median follow-up of 20 months, 199 relapses and 157 deaths were recorded. The Kaplan-Meier PFS curves showed a highly significant increase favoring docetaxel (HR 0.70 with 95% CI 0.53-0.94; p = 0.016) over erlotinib regimen. The HR translated into an estimated absolute difference in 6-months PFS of 12% (16% vs 28%). Data concerning toxicity were consistent with the literature.

Conclusions: In terms of PFS, our results indicate a clear superiority of docetaxel over erlotinib as second line treatment for patients without EGFR mutations in exons 19 or 21. Analysis of OS will be conducted as far as the planned number of 199 deaths is reached.
