Aim: A multicenter randomized phase III study designed to demonstrate non-inferiority of G to E was conducted. Methods: Eligible pts were those with pathologically proven LA with stage IIIB/IV (AJCC version 6) or recurrence, previously treated with at least one chemotherapy regimen, evaluable disease, age ≥20 years and ECOG PS 0-2. Pts were randomized 1:1 to E (150 mg, daily), or G (250mg, daily) according to gender, stage, EGFR mutation status, performance status, smoking history, CT line, and institution. Target sample size was 560 based on the assumption that G was not inferior to E in PFS (2 – 4 months, α =0.025 [one sided], β =0.80). Non-inferiority was to be concluded if the upper CI limit was < 1.30. The primary endpoint was PFS, and secondary endpoints included overall survival (OS), response rate (RR), disease control rate (DCR), safety, and time to treatment failure (TTF). Results: From 2009/7 to 2012/10, 561 pts were accrued, and 280 and 279 were randomly assigned to E and G, respectively, including 185 (66.1%, E) and 186 (66.7%, G) with EGFR mutated tumors. Other baseline factors were balanced between arms except PS: median age 67/68 years; % female 54/55; % PS = 0, 50/40; PS = 1, 43/54; % stage IV, 69/69; % 2nd line, 69/71, % smoker, 50/50; for E/G. Median PFS, TTF and OS for E/G were 7.5 m/6.5 m ( p = 0.257, HR = 1.125, 95% CI: 0.940-1.347), 5.3 m/5.6 m (HR = 1.032, 95% CI: 0.866-1.231), and 24.5 m/22.8 m (HR = 1.038, 95% CI: 0.833-1.294), respectively. RR and DCR for E/G were 43.9%/ 46.1% and 75.0%/71.2%, respectively. Median PFS and OS in pts with EGFR mutation for E/G were 10.1 m/8.9 m ( p = 0.532), and 32.0 m/26.6 m ( p = 0.111), respectively. Exploratory subset analysis revealed the prolongation of PFS of E compared with that of G in pts aged <65 ( p = 0.032, HR = 1.357, 95% CI: 1.024-1.799). Main grade 3/4 toxicities were rash (18.1% [E] v 2.2% [G]) and elevation of AST/ALT (2.2%/3.3% [E] v 6.1%/13.0% [G]). Conclusions: Non-inferiority in PFS between E and G was not demonstrated according to predefined criteria; however, there was no statistically significant difference in PFS, OS, RR, DCR and TTF.
