Abstract

Purpose

This study aimed to examine the prognostic impact of concomitant pH-regulating drug use in patients with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutation-positive non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) receiving EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs).

Methods

We conducted a nationwide retrospective cohort study and reviewed clinical data of consecutive patients with NSCLC treated with the first-line EGFR-TKIs in 46 hospitals between April 2010 and March 2020. Cox regression analyses were conducted to examine the differences in overall survival (OS) between patients treated with and without concomitant pH-regulating drugs, including potassium-competitive acid blockers (P-CABs), proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), and H2-receptor antagonists (H2RAs).

Results

A total of 758 patients were included in the final dataset, of which 307 (40%) were administered concomitant pH-regulating drugs while receiving frontline EGFR-TKIs. After adjusting for basic patient characteristics, patients administered gefitinib, erlotinib, afatinib, and osimertinib with concomitant pH-regulating drugs had lower OS than those without concomitant pH-regulating drugs, with hazard ratios of 1.74 (with a 95% confidence interval of 1.34–2.27), 1.33 (0.80–2.22), 1.73 (0.89–3.36), and 5.04 (1.38–18.44), respectively. The 2-year OS rates of patients receiving gefitinib with or without concomitant pH-regulating drugs were 65.4 and 77.5%, those for erlotinib were 55.8 and 66.6%, and those for afatinib were 63.2 and 76.9%, respectively. The 1-year OS rates of patients receiving osimertinib with or without concomitant pH-regulating drugs were 88.1% and 96.9%, respectively.

Conclusion

In addition to the first-generation EGFR-TKIs, the second- and third-generation EGFR-TKIs also resulted in OS deterioration in patients with EGFR mutation-positive NSCLC when used concurrently with pH-regulating drugs.
