Description
In a retrospective study, 166 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients that tended to have selected characteristics known to be predictive for TKI sensitivity (i.e. women, never smokers, and patients with ADC) were treated with either gefitinib or erlotinib. PIK3CA mutations (n=6) were associated with no difference in objective response to drug treatment (16.6% vs. 35.2%, p=0.61), shorter overall survival (9.9 vs. 30.2 months, p<0.001), and shorter median time to progression (2.3 vs. 6.0 months, p=0.01) when compared to wild-type PIK3CA. Through multivariate analyses, it was shown that PIK3CA mutations are significant predictors of worse overall survival (HR: 5.81, 95% CI: 2.43-13.91, p=0.0001) and shorter time to progression (HR: 2.71 95% CI: 1.23-4.79, p=0.03).
