Gefitinib Versus Placebo in Completely Resected Non–Small-Cell Lung Cancer: Results of the NCIC CTG BR19 Study

Abstract: Although the trial closed prematurely and definitive statements regarding the efficacy of adjuvant gefitinib cannot be made, these results indicate that it is unlikely to be of benefit.

“…It remains questionable whether to apply adjuvant treatment with these compounds might be relevant. The NCIC Clinical Trials Group BR.19 study randomized 503 patients with resected stage IB-IIIA NSCLC to oral gefitinib 250 mg daily for 2 years or to placebo [21]. Overall survival trended in favour of placebo (hazard ratio:1.23; p=0.136), and patients with EGFR wild-type (hazard ratio:1.21;p=0.301) and EGFR mutation (hazard ratio:1.58; p=0.16) experienced non significantly worse survival on gefitinib, however this is not a large number of patients.…”

“…[14] представили данные первого рандомизированного двойного слепого плаце-бо-контролируемого исследования (BR.19) ингибиторов ТКИ (гефитиниб) с плацебо после проведения хирур-гического лечения и адъювантной терапии при НМРЛ. Больные НМРЛ IB-IIIA стадии, которые соответство-вали критериям включения, были рандомизированы 1:1.…”

“…Although therapy with tyrosine kinase inhibitors is not currently indicated in the adjuvant setting 44 , tumour recurrence remains common in nsclc, and early molecular testing is crucial for guiding therapy in a timely manner upon recurrence. In the setting of diagnosing unresectable nsclc or metastatic recurrence, thoracic surgeons play a key role in selecting appropriate biopsy techniques to maximize tumour cellularity and facilitate molecular testing.…”
