Purpose: To evaluate whether chemotherapy backbone selection influences outcomes in epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) after acquired resistance to osimertinib, addressing the absence of a preferred postosimertinib chemotherapy approach.
Methods: Outcomes were retrospectively compared between taxanebased and pemetrexedbased chemotherapy using propensity score matching and multivariable Cox models; progression was stratified as gradual or dramatic. An exploratory in vitro assay compared chemosensitivity between osimertinibresistant sublines and parental cells.
Results: After 1:1 matching, taxanes showed numerically longer progressionfree survival (PFS; median 8.8 vs 7.9 months; hazard ratio [HR]: 0.71, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.48– 1.03) and overall survival (OS; 18.8 vs 15.9 months; HR: 0.70, 95% CI: 0.45– 1.09) versus pemetrexed, without statistical significance. In the gradualprogression cohort, outcomes were comparable. By contrast, in the dramaticprogression cohort, taxanes were associated with longer PFS (7.7 vs 6.4 months; HR: 0.51, 95% CI: 0.30– 0.86; P=0.009) and OS (16.1 vs 12.7 months; HR: 0.54, 95% CI: 0.30– 0.97; P=0.034). Multivariable analysis identified taxanes as an independent favorable factor in dramatic progression for PFS (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR]: 0.48, 95% CI: 0.27– 0.84; P=0.011) and OS (aHR: 0.51, 95% CI: 0.27– 0.96; P=0.036). Nonhematologic toxicities were more frequent with taxanes than pemetrexed (56/74, 75.7% vs 52/95, 54.7%). Additionally, osimertinibresistant sublines exhibited reduced half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) to taxanes versus parental cells (P< 0.05).
Conclusion: Taxanebased chemotherapy was associated with more favorable outcomes than pemetrexed in dramatic progression after osimertinib resistance, with higher nonhematologic toxicity. These findings, supported by exploratory in vitro sensitivity, warrant prospective validation.
