RESUMO
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the comparative effectiveness of sotorasib monotherapy versus docetaxel as monotherapy or combination therapy in patients with pretreated KRAS G12C-mutated advanced NSCLC in the real-world. METHODS: A US-based electronic health record-derived de-identified database was used in this study. Patients with pretreated KRAS G12C-mutated advanced NSCLC who initiated sotorasib between May 28, 2021, and September 30, 2022, and docetaxel between January 1, 2019, and September 30, 2022 (to enhance sample size), were included, with a minimum of 12-month opportunity for follow-up. Treatment groups were balanced via overlap weighting propensity score methods. Median OS in the 2L and 2L+ settings were calculated using Kaplan-Meier estimates. Hazard ratios (HRs) were estimated via Cox proportional hazard models. RESULTS: Overall, the clinical characteristics in sotorasib and docetaxel cohorts were balanced after propensity score weighting. At baseline, most patients were > 65 years of age, had ECOG performance status of 0-1, were from the community practice setting, had advanced stage at initial diagnosis, and had prior anti-PD-(L)1 treatment and/or platinum-based chemotherapy. In the 2L setting, the median OS (95 % CI) for sotorasib (N=102) and docetaxel (N=58) patients was 10.2 (7.6-16.3) and 6.0 (4.2-11.0) months, respectively, with a corresponding mortality HR (95 % CI) of 0.62 (0.41-0.93). In the 2L+ setting, the median OS (95 % CI) for sotorasib (N=164) and docetaxel (N=116) was 10.2 (8.0-14.6) and 7.2 (5.1-10.6) months, respectively, with a corresponding mortality HR (95 % CI) of 0.65 (0.49-0.87). In patients with prior anti-PD-(L)1 treatment, the mortality HR (95 % CI) in the sotorasib group versus docetaxel was 0.61 (0.39-0.94) and 0.65 (0.48-0.89) in the 2L and 2L+ settings, respectively. Findings from other subgroups were consistent with the primary analyses. CONCLUSION: In this real-world comparative analysis of patients with pretreated KRAS G12C-mutated advanced NSCLC, sotorasib monotherapy demonstrated a longer median OS compared to docetaxel monotherapy or combination therapy.
RESUMO
PURPOSE: To examine the dynamics of treatment with 2 bone-targeting agents (BTAs)-denosumab and zoledronic acid-among men with bone metastases from prostate cancer. METHODS: Using electronic health record data from oncology practices across the US, we identified prostate cancer patients diagnosed with bone metastasis in 2012/2013 without evidence of BTA use within 6 months prior to diagnosis. We examined the risk and predictors of BTA initiation, interruption, and re-initiation. RESULTS: Among 897 men diagnosed with prostate cancer, the cumulative incidence of BTA initiation after bone metastasis diagnosis was 34% (95% confidence interval [CI], 31-37%) at 30 days, 64% (95% CI, 61-68%) at 180 days, and 88% (95% CI, 85-91%) at 2 years. Denosumab was initiated more frequently than zoledronic acid. Men with diabetes, more bone lesions, history of androgen deprivation therapy, or no hospice enrollment were more likely to initiate treatment. Following initiation, the cumulative incidence of treatment interruption was 17% (95% CI, 14-19%) at 60 days and 70% (95% CI, 66-74%) at 2 years, with interruption more likely among patients receiving emerging therapies for prostate cancer or enrolling in hospice. The cumulative incidence of re-initiation following interruption was 36.3% (95% CI, 32.7-40.2%) at 15 days, 49.8% (95% CI, 45.9-54.1%) at 30 days, and 81.0% (95% CI, 77.5-84.7%) at 1 year. CONCLUSIONS: Bone-targeting agent therapy is initiated by the majority of men living with bone metastases following a prostate cancer diagnosis; however, the timing of initiation is highly variable. Once on treatment, gaps or interruptions in therapy are common.
