Randomized Phase III Study Comparing Gefitinib With Erlotinib in Patients With Previously Treated Advanced Lung Adenocarcinoma: WJOG 5108L
Excerpt:
When restricted to L858R mutation, PFS, RR, and DCR for gefitinib versus erlotinib were 8.1 and 8.5 months (HR, 0.938; 95% CI, 0.675 to 1.304; P = .704), 57.5% and 46.3% (P = .174), and 81.3% and 79.1% (P = .744), respectively.

Erlotinib showed significantly inferior OS than other TKIs (30.8 ± 3.3 in erlotinib vs. 39.1 ± 4.3 in afatinib vs. 48.4 ± 6.3 in gefitinib; p = 0.031) in patients with L858R.
