PG - 616546 LID - 10.3389/fonc.2022.616546 [doi] LID - 616546 AB - OBJECTIVES: Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are a standard care option in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation. TKI-based combination treatment modes show encouraging outcomes. However, it remains unknown which is the optimal treatment as the first-line regimen for these patients on overall survival (OS). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Randomized controlled trials and meeting abstracts that investigated EGFR-TKIs alone or in combination as front-line care for patients with NSCLC were systematically searched in relevant databases and reviewed. Fixed and random effects network meta-analysis models were used to estimate progression-free survival (PFS), OS, overall response rate, and grade three and higher adverse events (AEs). Surface under the cumulative ranking curves (SUCRAs) were used to rank treatment effects. RESULTS: Eighteen studies covering six treatments and involving a total of 4389 patients were included in this network meta-analysis. On OS, the top three treatment were first-generation EGFR-TKIs (1G EGFR-TKIs) plus chemotherapy (SUCRA, 88.1%), osimertinib (SUCRA, 65.8%) and second-generation EGFR-TKIs (2GEGFR-TKIs) (SUCRA, 63.3%). On PFS, the top three treatments were osimertinib (SUCRA, 96.0%), 1G EGFR-TKIs plus chemotherapy (SUCRA, 67.1%), and 1G EGFR-TKIs plus antiangiogenesis (SUCRA, 48.2%). Two types of TKI-based combination therapy have significantly higher risk of grade three and higher AEs than TKI alone. CONCLUSION: 1G EGFR-TKIs plus chemotherapy and osimertinib seem to be the two better options as first-line care in advanced NSCLC patients with EGFR-mutation. Osimertinib caused the lowest incidence of AEs. However, TKIs-based combination therapy significantly increased AEs. CI - Copyright (c) 2022 Qi, Xia, Shao, Guo, Dong, Tian, Xu, Niu and Wei.
