Patient-reported symptoms possibly related to treatment with osimertinib or chemotherapy for advanced non-small cell lung cancer.
In the AURA3 trial, individuals received osimertinib 80 mg once daily or chemotherapy for advanced non-small cell lung cancer. Here, we explore patient-reported symptoms possibly related to treatment.. AURA3 was an open-label, randomized phase III trial involving 419 patients. As part of the trial's exploratory objectives, individuals were asked to complete the Patient-Reported Outcomes version of the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (PRO-CTCAE) electronically, first weekly for 18 weeks and then every 3 weeks for up to 57 weeks, subject to the availability of validated local-language versions (English, German, Japanese and Spanish versions were available).. In total, 161 patients (38%; 102 receiving osimertinib, 59 receiving chemotherapy) provided data for PRO-CTCAE analyses (mean age: 64 years; 63% women). Diarrhea was reported more commonly with osimertinib than with chemotherapy, and was mostly graded as occurring rarely or occasionally. Decreased appetite was reported less commonly with osimertinib than with chemotherapy. The proportion of patients reporting nausea changed little from baseline with osimertinib and increased with chemotherapy. Few patients reported vomiting. Both nausea and vomiting were generally graded as mild in severity. Fatigue was reported less commonly with osimertinib than with chemotherapy, and was mostly graded as mild or moderate. Of patients reporting fatigue, the proportion grading it as interfering at least 'somewhat' with their usual or daily activities was lower with osimertinib than with chemotherapy.. Symptoms were generally mild and not frequent, with some differences in symptom patterns between the two treatment groups. The results support and complement the AURA3 trial data and give insight into patients' experience with treatment.
