EGFR-mutant NSCLC (in-frame deletion in exon 19 or Leu858Arg point mutation in exon 21) were randomly assigned, in a 1:1 ratio, to receive either adjuvant icotinib (125 mg thrice daily administered orally for 2 years) or four-cycle chemotherapy (cisplatin plus vinorelbine, or cisplatin plus pemetrexed...In full analysis population, the median DFS (mDFS) was 47.0 months (95% CI, 36.44 to not reached) in the icotinib group and 22.1 months (95% CI, 16.8 to 30.4) in the chemotherapy group (stratified hazard ratio=0.36; 95% CI, 0.24 to 0.55; P < 0.0001).

53% and 47% of patients had an EGFR mutation of 19 Del and 21 L858R, respectively....Adjuvant icotinib significantly improved DFS in patients with EGFR mutant stage II-IIIA NSCLC compared with standard chemotherapy and demonstrated a better tolerability profile.

...Patients with single primary lung cancer, a full set of tumor marker tests, blood biochemistry tests and related routine blood tests, enhanced CT of the chest, CT or ultrasound of the abdomen (liver, gallbladder, pancreas, spleen, kidneys, and adrenal glands), ultrasound of the cervical and supraclavicular lymph nodes, MR of the head or CT of the head, and whole-body bone imaging were all perfected to exclude metastasis before surgery; Complete surgical resection of the tumor with guaranteed negative margins (R0), the patient's surgical approach can be lobectomy, segmental resection, wedge resection of the lung, and regional lymph node sampling;Postoperative pathologically confirmed stage I lung adenocarcinoma (according to the 8th edition of the AJCC TNM staging system for lung cancer) with micropapillary or solid-type components;and had a confirmed EGFR mutation(exon 19 deletion or exon 21 L858R);Eligible patients were between 18 and 75 years of age; had an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status (ECOG PS) score of 0 or 1....

All patients were administered a first-generation EGFR-TKI (icotinib 125 mg tid or gefitinib 250 mg qd, orally)....The PFS of subgroups in number of metastases >5 vs. <5 and EGFR mutation L858R vs. 19-del were 11.13 months vs. 16.33 months (HR 0.45, 95% CI (0.23–0.91), p = 0.016) and 13.43 months vs. 26.69 months (HR 0.23, 95% CI (0.12–0.46), p = 0.0017), respectively (Figure 3)....early-phase SBRT for the primary lung tumor combined with EGFR-TKI followed by RT may be an alternative choice for advanced NSCLC harboring the EGFR mutation.

EGFR-mutant NSCLC patients diagnosed with limited multiple metastases were treated with first-line icotinib….Subgroup analysis showed that the results were statistically significant with 14.7 and 11.5 months for the 19del mutation (HR 0.20, 95% CI 0.10–0.40, P < 0.001) and 12.9 and 9.9 months for the L858R mutation (HR 0.25, 95% CI 0.13–0.48, P < 0.001)....This study suggests that CPRT is a viable option for patients with EGFR-sensitive mutations in NSCLC with limited multiple metastases during first-line icotinib treatment, which can significantly improve PFS with acceptable toxicities.

We retrospectively assessed the clinical effects of first-line icotinib on advanced NSCLC patients with 2 classic EGFR mutations….Patients with 19-Del had a higher response rate (ORR; 67.8 vs. 62.1%; p = 0.0039) and disease control rate (98.5 vs. 97.2%; p = 0.0223) than those with 21-L858R mutation.

We investigated 30 stage I non-small-cell lung cancer patients harboring EGFR gene mutations with postoperative intrapulmonary recurrence....The median PFS observed in patients who underwent icotinib treatment was significantly longer than in patients who underwent gefitinib treatment (30.5 months vs 12.0 months, p = 0.005). There were no statistical differences in median PFS between patients with tumors harboring exon 21 mutation and exon 19 deletion...

We present here the case of a 61-year-old man with advanced posterior mediastinum thymic squamous cell carcinoma….ARMS-PCR analysis revealed an EGFR exon 19 deletion in the patient. The patient subsequently received icotinib treatment and achieved complete remission for 3 years.
