Real-World Data Presenting the Descriptive Analysis of the Use of Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors (TKIs) Among Metastatic Non–Small-Cell Lung Cancer (mNSCLC) Patients in Qatar: A Nationwide Retrospective Cohort Study

Background: There has been significant improvement in treating metastatic non–small-cell lung cancer (mNSCLC) over the past 2 decades. The aim of this study is to describe the use of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in Qatar. This study focuses on the objective response rate (ORR) and reported adve...

description Background: There has been significant improvement in treating metastatic non–small-cell lung cancer (mNSCLC) over the past 2 decades. The aim of this study is to describe the use of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in Qatar. This study focuses on the objective response rate (ORR) and reported adverse drug events (ADEs) of TKIs used for the management of patients with mNSCLC. Methods: This is a descriptive retrospective cohort study. All non–small-cell lung cancers (NSCLCs) with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) or anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) mutations who received TKIs between 2015 and 2019 in Qatar were included. The TKIs used during this period include EGFR inhibitors such as afatinib, erlotinib, gefitinib, and osimertinib and ALK inhibitors such as alectinib and crizotinib. The response on each TKI was identified by reporting the ORR (as the sum of the complete response [CR] and the partial response [PR]), in addition stable disease (SD) and disease progression (DP) were reported. While ADEs were reported using the National Cancer Institute’s Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE). Results: A total of 63 patients were included, of which 36 cases (57.1%) expressed EGFR mutation, and 27 patients (42.9%) expressed ALK rearrangement. The ORR in EGFR inhibitors was as follows: osimertinib 40%, gefitinib 33%, afatinib 22%, and erlotinib 18%. However, the response to the ALK-targeted therapy was 43% with alectinib and 40% with crizotinib. A total of 112 ADEs were reported. They were distributed as 63.4% (71 of 112) with the anti-EGFR and 36.6% (41 of 112) ADEs with the ALK inhibitors. In the anti-EGFR group, the most common types of ADEs were dermatological toxicity 30%, whereas, in the anti-ALK group, gastrointestinal toxicity was the most common (29%). Conclusions: The EGFR-targeted and ALK-targeted therapies appear to have acceptable clinical response rate and safety profile in our population. Close and frequent monitoring of adverse events is advised to ensure a good quality of life and prevent serious complications.
