Description
A Japanese Phase III clinical study assessed the noninferiority of gefitinib as compared to erlotinib in 561 advanced stage (IIIB and IV) postoperative lung adenocarcinoma patients. All patients had prior chemotherapy but no treatment with TKIs. 19 patients had unspecified uncommon EGFR mutations, including single mutations other than ex19del and L858R and double mutations. Of those 19 patients, 7 were treated with erlotinib and 12 were treated with gefitinib. Objective response and disease control rate between erlotinib and gefitinib were not significantly different. The study failed to satisfy the primary endpoint of demonstrating statistical noninferiority in PFS of gefitinib.
