Management of Central Nervous System Metastases in Patients With Advanced Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase-Rearranged Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer During Crizotinib Treatment.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:Central nervous system (CNS) progression is a common manifestation of acquired resistance to crizotinib in anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)-rearranged non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, an optimal tailored treatment approach has not been established in patients with CNS failure during crizotinib treatment. PATIENTS AND METHODS:Patients with ALK-rearranged NSCLC with CNS progression during crizotinib treatment between January 2013 and December 2016 were included for analysis. Clinical data for different treatments after CNS failure during crizotinib treatment were retrospectively collected. RESULTS:Among the 44 patients who had CNS progression during crizotinib treatment, 19, 15, 8, and 2 patients received crizotinib treatment beyond progressive disease (CBPD), a second ALK tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), chemotherapy, and best supportive care, respectively. Post progression survival offered by treatment with a second ALK TKI was significantly more favorable than that of chemotherapy (P < .001) or CBPD (P = .045). In addition, patients who received sequential treatment with a second ALK TKI had significantly longer intracranial time to progression (IC-TTP) compared with those treated with chemotherapy (P < .01) or CBPD after radiotherapy (P = .003). In the 7 patients who received brigatinib, the median IC-TTP was 21.8 months (95% confidence interval, 11.7-32.0). The additional use of CNS radiotherapy in patients treated with a second ALK TKI showed no significance in terms of IC-TTP (P = .54). CONCLUSION:Although CBPD is an option in patients with isolated CNS progression during crizotinib treatment, sequential treatment with a second ALK TKI, particularly brigatinib, might be preferable. The newly approved TKI, brigatinib, showed promise in the control of brain metastases, even without radiotherapy.
