Efficacy and safety of vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)inhibitors combined with tyrosine kinase inhibitors in the first-line treatment of epidermal growth factor receptor(EGFR)-mutant advanced non-small cell lung cancer

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)inhibitors combined with tyrosine kinase inhibitors(TKI)in the first-line treatment of epidermal growth factor receptor(EGFR)-mutant advanced non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC).Methods:The efficacy and side effects of anti-VEGF drugs combined with EGFR-TKI and EGFR-TKI alone as the first-line treatment for patients with EGFR-mutant advanced NSCLC were compared.Results:This study included 5 randomized controlled trials(RCTs)involving a total of 1230 patients with NSCLC,1042(85%)of whom were Asian.PFS was chosen as the primary end point,with a secondary endpoint of OS.Our results showed that the combination of EGFR-TKI with anti-VEGF drugs significantly improved PFS(HR=0.59,95%CI:0.51~0.69)compared with EGFR-TKI alone for patients with EGFR mutations,including the exon 19 deletion(HR=0.59,95%CI:0.50~0.70)and exon 21 L858R mutation(HR=0.58,95%CI:0.48~0.72).However,it did not improve OS(HR=0.93,95%CI:0.74~1.17).The more incidence of gradeⅢhypertension,proteinuria and rash were observed in the combination group,and the incidence of proteinuria was higher.Conclusion:The combination of EGFR-TKI with anti-VEGF drugs resulted in a significant benefit in PFS compared with EGFR-TKI alone,but it failed to provide any long-term survival benefits in patients with EGFR mutation-positive advanced NSCLC.
