Description
In a phase 2b/3 study of 585 stage IIIB-IV lung adenocarcinoma patients who had a previous round of EGFR-TKI treatment, archival material was available for 141 patients. EGFR mutational analysis revealed that 96 tumors had an EGFR mutation, of which 76 (79%) were positive for either L858R or a deletion in exon 19. These mutations were associated with improved progression-free survival (median 3.3 months vs 1.0 month ; HR:0.51, 95% CI:0.31-0.85, P<0.009) compared to placebo control.
