Retrospective Analysis of Treatment Options after Progression on Pemetrexed in Advanced Lung Adenocarcinoma
Öz
Treatment options beyond second-line therapy in advanced lung adenocarcinoma remain limited. We retrospectively evaluated treatment patterns and survival outcomes in 95 patients with metastatic lung adenocarcinoma treated at Bursa Uludag University Faculty of Medicine between 2010 and 2017. Overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were calculated from the start of third-line therapy. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) were administered to 52 patients (54.7%). Both median PFS and OS numerically favored the TKI group but did not reach statistical significance (PFS: 4.4 vs. 3.0 months, log-rank p = 0.059; OS: 8.6 vs. 7.4 months, log rank p=0.66). However, in multivariate Cox regression analysis, third-line TKI therapy was independently associated with improved PFS (HR=0.52; 95% CI 0.31–0.85; p=0.01). Male sex was independently associated with worse OS (HR = 2.02; 95% CI 1.04–3.91; p=0.036) and PFS (HR=2.46; 95% CI 1.24–4.90; p=0.01). Poor ECOG performance status was associated with worse OS (HR = 2.30; 95% CI 1.40–3.79; p<0.001) and PFS (HR=1.80; 95% CI 1.08–3.01; p=0.023). Brain metastasis was also associated with poorer OS (HR=1.77; 95% CI 1.10–2.85; p=0.018) and PFS (HR=1.75; 95% CI 1.08–2.84; p=0.022) and the presence of liver metastasis was associated with significantly poorer OS (HR=1.72; 95% CI 1.06–2.80; p=0.028). Despite its retrospective, single-center design and limited molecular data, this real-world cohort reflects routine clinical practice, in which platinum-based chemotherapy and TKIs formed the backbone of later-line treatment.
