Comparative efficacy and safety of first-line EGFR-TKIs for advanced non-small cell lung cancer:a network meta-analysis
-
摘要:
目的 比较吉非替尼、厄洛替尼和阿法替尼一线治疗晚期非小细胞肺癌(non-small cell lung cancer, NSCLC)的有效性和安全性。 方法 系统检索2008年12月-2018年12月收录在PubMed、EMBASE和The Cochrane Library中的相关文献进行贝叶斯网状meta分析。 结果 共纳入10篇文献, 包含2 275名患者。就有效性而言, 累积排序概率图下面积(surface under the cumulative ranking, SUCRA)显示厄洛替尼在无进展生存期(progression-free survival, PFS)方面最佳(0.88), 阿法替尼在客观反应率(objective response rate, ORR)(0.82)和疾病控制率(disease control rate, DCR)(0.86)方面最佳, 吉非替尼在PFS(0.45), ORR(0.42)和DCR(0.45)方面均最差。就安全性而言, 仅厄洛替尼与含铂的双重化疗在3~4级不良反应率(OR=0.29, 95% CI:0.08~0.98)和停药率(OR=0.14, 95% CI:0.01~0.86)方面的差异有统计学意义。排序结果也支持厄洛替尼的安全性最好。SUCRA结果提示吉非替尼(0.31)发生3~4级不良反应的可能性比阿法替尼(0.57)小, 其(0.44)发生停药的可能性与阿法替尼(0.41)相似。 结论 厄洛替尼可能是三者中一线治疗晚期NSCLC的首选药物。 Abstract:Objective To compare the efficacy and safety of gefitinib, erlotinib, and afatinib in the first-line treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC). Methods PubMed, EMBASE, and The Cochrane Library were searched to identify the relevant literatures published from December 2008 to December 2018. Bayesian network meta-analysis was carried out to rank the three treatments. Results A total of ten eligible studies involving 2275 patients were enrolled. In terms of efficacy, the surface under the cumulative ranking(SUCRA) indicated that erlotinib performed best in progression-free survival(PFS)(0.88), afatinib performed best in objective response rate(ORR)(0.82) and disease control rate(DCR)(0.86), gefitinib performed worst in PFS(0.45), ORR(0.42), and DCR(0.45). For safety, the differences of grade 3 or 4 adverse events rate(OR=0.29, 95%CI:0.08-0.98) and discontinuation rate(OR=0.14, 95%CI:0.01-0.8) between erlotinib and the platinum-based doublet chemotherapy were statistically significant. The ranking results also supported that erlotinib was the safest. SUCRA results suggested that gefitinib(0.31) had a lower grade 3 or 4 adverse events rate than afatinib(0.57), and the possibility of discontinuation in gefitinib(0.44) was similar to that of afatinib(0.41). Conclusion Erlotinib might be the preferred first-line treatment for advanced NSCLC after weighing and balancing the benefits and risks. -
