PG - 18516-18530 LID - 10.1002/cam4.6453 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients harboring epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutated who progressed on EGFR tyrosine-kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI) therapy have limited therapeutic options. There is still no consensus on the role of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in NSCLC with EGFR mutations. METHODS: We did a network meta-analysis (NMA) with a systematic literature search on PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and The Cochrane Library. We included all phase II and III randomized controlled trials (RCTs), non-randomized controlled trials (Non-RCTs), and retrospective studies. Progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were assessed through hazard ratios (HR). Objective response rate (ORR) and adverse events (AEs) were assessed through odds ratio (OR) and relative risk (RR), respectively. R software was used to compare the outcomes of different treatments by Bayesian NMA. FINDINGS: We identified 1835 published results and 17 studies were included ultimately. A total of 2085 patients were included and accepted the following six treatments: ICIs plus chemotherapy (ICIs+Chemo), chemotherapy (Chemo), ICIs monotherapy (ICIs), ICIs plus chemotherapy and antiangiogenic therapy (ICIs+Chemo+Antiangio), antiangiogenic therapy plus chemotherapy (Antiangio+Chemo), ICIs plus antiangiogenic therapy (ICIs+Antiangio). ICIs+Chemo+Antiangio was associated with longer PFS and OS, as well as higher ORR (surface under the cumulative ranking curve [SUCRA], 96%, 90%, 91%). ICIs conferred the safety profile in terms of any-grade AEs, grade greater than or equal to 3 AEs and any grade leading to treatment discontinuation occurred AEs (SUCRA, 99%, 68%, 94%). INTERPRETATION: ICIs+Chemo+Antiangio brings the greatest survival benefit in NSCLC patients with EGFR mutations who progressed on EGFR-TKI therapy, even for whom with baseline brain metastases. Compared with chemotherapy, ICIs has a low incidence of AEs and a benefit in OS. CI - (c) 2023 The Authors. Cancer Medicine published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd.
