Abstract
Clinical trials frequently include multiple end points that mature at different times. The initial report, typically based on the primary end point, may be published when key planned co-primary or secondary analyses are not yet available. Clinical Trial Updates provide an opportunity to disseminate additional results from studies, published in JCO or elsewhere, for which the primary end point has already been reported.
PURPOSE
The phase III ADAURA (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT02511106) primary analysis demonstrated a clinically significant disease-free survival (DFS) benefit with adjuvant osimertinib versus placebo in EGFR-mutated stage IB-IIIA non–small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) after complete tumor resection (DFS hazard ratio [HR], 0.20 [99.12% CI, 0.14 to 0.30]; P < .001). We report an updated exploratory analysis of final DFS data.
METHODS
Overall, 682 patients with stage IB-IIIA (American Joint Committee on Cancer/Union for International Cancer Control, seventh edition) EGFR-mutated (exon 19 deletion/L858R) NSCLC were randomly assigned 1:1 (stratified by stage, mutational status, and race) to receive osimertinib 80 mg once-daily or placebo for 3 years. The primary end point was DFS by investigator assessment in stage II-IIIA disease analyzed by stratified log-rank test; following early reporting of statistical significance in DFS, no further formal statistical testing was planned. Secondary end points included DFS in stage IB-IIIA, overall survival, and safety. Patterns of recurrence and CNS DFS were prespecified exploratory end points.
RESULTS
At data cutoff (April 11, 2022), in stage II-IIIA disease, median follow-up was 44.2 months (osimertinib) and 19.6 months (placebo); the DFS HR was 0.23 (95% CI, 0.18 to 0.30); 4-year DFS rate was 70% (osimertinib) and 29% (placebo). In the overall population, DFS HR was 0.27 (95% CI, 0.21 to 0.34); 4-year DFS rate was 73% (osimertinib) and 38% (placebo). Fewer patients treated with osimertinib had local/regional and distant recurrence versus placebo. CNS DFS HR in stage II-IIIA was 0.24 (95% CI, 0.14 to 0.42). The long-term safety profile of osimertinib was consistent with the primary analysis.
CONCLUSION
These updated data demonstrate prolonged DFS benefit over placebo, reduced risk of local and distant recurrence, improved CNS DFS, and a consistent safety profile, supporting the efficacy of adjuvant osimertinib in resected EGFR-mutated NSCLC.
INTRODUCTION
Until recently, the standard of care for patients with resectable non–small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has been surgical resection followed by postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy, when indicated.1-4 However, recurrence is common and increases with disease stage.5,6 Recently, epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) and immunotherapies have demonstrated improvements in disease-free survival (DFS) in the adjuvant setting.7-9
CONTEXT
Key Objective
ADAURA is an ongoing phase III trial assessing efficacy and safety of osimertinib versus placebo in patients with completely resected stage IB-IIIA non–small-cell lung cancer, with/without adjuvant chemotherapy. After 2 years of additional follow-up, we report updated analyses of final disease-free survival (DFS) data, recurrence patterns, and long-term safety.
Knowledge Generated
These updated data, in which all patients had the opportunity to receive 3 years of planned treatment, were consistent with the primary analysis and demonstrated prolonged DFS benefit with adjuvant osimertinib versus placebo: stage II-IIIA DFS hazard ratio, 0.23; 95% CI, 0.18 to 0.30; stage IB-IIIA DFS hazard ratio, 0.27; 95% CI, 0.21 to 0.34. Adjuvant osimertinib reduced the risk of local and distant recurrence, and improved CNS DFS. The long-term safety profile of osimertinib was consistent with the primary analysis.

Osimertinib is a third-generation EGFR-TKI with demonstrated efficacy in NSCLC, including in the CNS.10-15 The primary DFS analysis of the phase III ADAURA trial of adjuvant osimertinib was reported 2 years earlier than planned following Independent Data Monitoring Committee recommendation because of an efficacy benefit. Osimertinib demonstrated a significant DFS benefit versus placebo in patients with EGFR-mutated stage IB-IIIA NSCLC after complete tumor resection with or without adjuvant chemotherapy.11 The DFS hazard ratio (HR) for patients with stage II-IIIA was 0.17 (99.06% CI, 0.11 to 0.26); P < .001; DFS HR for stage IB-IIIA was 0.20 (99.12% CI, 0.14 to 0.30); P < .001, with a median treatment duration of 22.5 months (range, 0-38 months) for the osimertinib group and 18.7 months (range, 0-36 months) for the placebo group.11 On the basis of these data, osimertinib was the first targeted therapy approved in many countries as an adjuvant treatment for resected EGFR-mutated stage IB-IIIA NSCLC16-18 and is recommended by international treatment guidelines.2,4
Whether recurrences are local or distant following surgery can impact postrecurrence survival.19 CNS metastases are common among patients with NSCLC, and are a poor prognostic factor associated with deterioration in quality of life.20,21 In the ADAURA primary analysis, patients treated with osimertinib had a lower incidence of metastatic disease and the CNS DFS HR was 0.18 (95% CI, 0.10 to 0.33).11
Here, we report updated DFS data at the protocol-specified maturity of approximately 50% and recurrence patterns after 2 years of further follow-up. We also report a post hoc exploratory analysis of DFS by disease stage according to the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC)/Union for International Cancer Control (UICC) eighth edition cancer staging manual.22
METHODS
Trial Design and Patients
Full details of ADAURA methodology have been published previously11,23 and are available in the Protocol (online only); the study design is shown in the Data Supplement (online only). Eligible patients age ≥ 18 years (≥ 20 years in Japan and Taiwan) had NSCLC of postsurgical pathologic stage IB (T2a tumors > 3 cm and ≤ 5 cm in size), II, or IIIA (AJCC/UICC seventh edition), centrally confirmed EGFR mutation (exon 19 deletion [Ex19del]/L858R), and WHO performance status of 0 or 1. Complete surgical resection of primary NSCLC, and adjuvant chemotherapy (if required, per physician and patient choice) took place before random assignment. A computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) brain scan at baseline before surgery or random assignment was required. Patients were stratified by EGFR mutation (Ex19del/L858R), disease stage (IB/II/IIIA), and race (Asian/non-Asian) and randomly assigned 1:1 to receive oral osimertinib 80 mg once-daily or placebo until disease recurrence, meeting a treatment discontinuation criterion, or up to 3 years of treatment.
The protocol and amendments were approved by the relevant ethics committees. The trial was conducted in accordance with the International Conference for Harmonisation Good Clinical Practice guidelines, applicable regulatory requirements, and the trial sponsor's policy on bioethics and human samples. All patients provided written informed consent.
End Points and Assessments
The primary end point was DFS by investigator assessment in patients with stage II-IIIA disease. Secondary end points included DFS in the overall population (stage IB-IIIA), overall survival, health-related quality of life, and safety. Assessment of site(s) of recurrence (including the CNS; Data Supplement) and time to CNS disease recurrence or death by any cause (CNS DFS) were prespecified exploratory end points. Brain scans were not mandated at regular follow-up assessments; these were performed on the basis of symptoms that may have occurred at follow-up visits, or between visits. However, at the time of recurrence, MRI or contrast CT brain scans were required, per the protocol, to fully capture all sites of recurrence, in line with clinical guidelines. Post hoc analyses of competing risk of CNS recurrence and DFS according to AJCC/UICC eighth edition staging were performed.
Statistical Analysis
Per the protocol, the planned primary DFS analysis was to take place after approximately 247 DFS events (50% maturity) in stage II-IIIA had occurred. As the primary DFS analysis was completed in 2020 ahead of plan,11 the statistical analysis plan was updated to account for a final exploratory DFS analysis at the original protocol-specified maturity of approximately 50% in stage II-IIIA. Given that the primary end point was tested and reached statistical significance at the time of the primary analysis, no further formal statistical testing of DFS was planned; consequently, P values are not reported. The data cutoff date for this analysis was April 11, 2022. DFS was analyzed using a log-rank test stratified by disease stage (AJCC/UICC seventh edition II/IIIA or IB/II/IIIA), EGFR mutational status (Ex19del/L858R), and race (Asian/non-Asian), the same analysis method applied to the primary analysis.
A competing risk analysis for CNS recurrence was performed and the probability of observing CNS recurrence, conditional on the patient not experiencing a competing risk of non-CNS recurrence or death by time t, was calculated using a Fine and Gray model. As no further scans were required once patients experienced DFS events, non-CNS disease recurrence events precluded the observation of the event of interest (CNS recurrence).
The final OS analysis is planned to take place at approximately 20% maturity in the stage II-IIIA population.
Study populations are defined in the Data Supplement.
RESULTS
Patients and Treatment
From November 2015 to February 2019, 682 eligible patients were randomly assigned: 339 to receive osimertinib and 343 to receive placebo (Data Supplement). At data cutoff, all patients had completed the planned treatment duration or prematurely discontinued treatment. Sixty-six percent (osimertinib) and 41% (placebo) of patients completed the planned treatment duration of 3 years. Cumulative total exposure is shown in the Data Supplement. Median total treatment exposure was 35.8 months (range, 0-38 months) in the osimertinib group and 25.1 months (range, 0-39 months) in the placebo group.
Baseline characteristics have been reported previously (Data Supplement) and were balanced between the two treatment groups.11 Use of brain CT and MRI scans at baseline before surgery or random assignment was balanced across groups and modalities, with 49% of patients receiving brain CT and 51% receiving brain MRI overall (Data Supplement).
Disease-Free Survival
In patients with stage II-IIIA disease, the median duration of follow-up for DFS was 44.2 months (range, 0-67 months) among the 233 patients on osimertinib and 19.6 months (range, 0-70 months) among the 237 patients on placebo. In the osimertinib group, 75 DFS events occurred (32% maturity) and 167 events occurred in the placebo group (70% maturity); overall DFS maturity was 51%. The DFS HR was 0.23 (95% CI, 0.18 to 0.30; Fig 1A). Median DFS was longer for the osimertinib group at 65.8 months (95% CI, 54.4 to not calculable [NC]) than the placebo group at 21.9 months (95% CI, 16.6 to 27.5). The percentage of patients alive and disease-free at 48 months was 70% (95% CI, 62 to 76) for osimertinib and 29% (95% CI, 23 to 35) for placebo.
In the overall population of 682 patients with stage IB-IIIA disease, 94 patients in the osimertinib group (28% maturity) and 211 in the placebo group had DFS events (62% maturity; overall maturity 45%). The DFS HR was 0.27 (95% CI, 0.21 to 0.34; Fig 1B). Median DFS was 65.8 months (95% CI, 61.7 to NC) for osimertinib compared with 28.1 months (95% CI, 22.1 to 35.0) for placebo. At 48 months, the percentage of patients alive and disease-free was 73% (95% CI, 67 to 78) for osimertinib and 38% (95% CI, 32 to 43) for placebo.
DFS benefit with osimertinib in the overall population was consistent across all predefined subgroups (Fig 2) including patients who did and did not receive prior adjuvant chemotherapy, by age (<65 years/≥65 years), race (Asian/non-Asian), smoking history (yes/no), and disease stage (IB/II/IIIA [AJCC/UICC, seventh edition]; see Data Supplement for Kaplan-Meier curves for stages IB, II, and IIIA). Among patients with stage IB disease, the percentages alive and disease-free at 48 months were 80% (95% CI, 70 to 87) for osimertinib and 59% (95% CI, 48 to 68) for placebo; the DFS HR was 0.41 (95% CI, 0.23 to 0.69; Table 1). Among those with stage II disease, these percentages were 74% (95% CI, 64 to 82) and 42% (95% CI, 33 to 51), respectively (DFS HR, 0.34; 95% CI, 0.23 to 0.52); among those with stage IIIA disease, these percentages were 65% (95% CI, 54 to 74) and 14% (95% CI, 8 to 22), respectively (DFS HR, 0.20; 95% CI, 0.14 to 0.29; Table 1). Treatment status at recurrence is shown in the Data Supplement.
TABLE 1.
DFS by Disease Stage According to AJCC/UICC Eighth Edition Staging Manual
Following restaging to AJCC/UICC, eighth edition staging manual on the basis of data captured during follow-up, per investigator assessment, 656/682 patients had stage IB-IIIA disease. Of the remaining 26 patients, three patients were classified as stage IA, 18 were stage IIIB, one was stage IV, and four were missing. The proportion in each stage group was 29% (IB), 34% (II), and 33% (IIIA; Data Supplement). There was a DFS benefit across stages IB-IIIA among patients after restaging (Table 1; see Data Supplement for Kaplan-Meier curves for stages IB, II, and IIIA). Landmark DFS rates were consistent with those for patients classified using the seventh edition manual (Table 1).
Patterns of Disease Recurrence
In the overall population, fewer patients had a disease recurrence with osimertinib versus placebo (93/339; 27% v 205/343; 60%). In the osimertinib group, 45/339 (13%) had distant metastases only, 42/339 (12%) had local/regional only, and 6/339 (2%) had local/regional and distant recurrences. In the placebo group, 107/343 (31%) had distant metastases only, 78/343 (23%) had local/regional only, and 20/343 (6%) had local/regional and distant recurrences (Table 2). Fewer patients had disease recurrence on osimertinib than placebo across the most common first sites of recurrence: lung, CNS, lymph nodes, and bone (Table 2).
TABLE 2.
CNS Recurrence
In patients with stage II-IIIA disease, CNS DFS events, defined as CNS disease recurrence or death by any cause, occurred in 22/233 (9%) and 41/237 (17%) patients in the osimertinib and placebo groups, respectively, of whom 18 (8%; osimertinib) and 32 (14%; placebo) patients had CNS recurrences. In the overall population, CNS DFS events occurred in 25/339 (7%) and 50/343 (15%) patients in the osimertinib and placebo groups; of these, 20 patients (6%; osimertinib) and 38 (11%; placebo) had CNS recurrences.
In patients with stage II-IIIA disease, CNS DFS HR was 0.24 (95% CI, 0.14 to 0.42; Fig 3A). In the overall population, CNS DFS HR was 0.36 (95% CI, 0.23 to 0.57; Data Supplement). For both the stage II-IIIA and overall populations, median CNS DFS was not reached in the osimertinib group (95% CI, 65.8 to NC) or the placebo group (95% CI, NC to NC). In stage II-IIIA disease, at 48 months, 90% (95% CI, 85 to 94) of patients with osimertinib and 75% (95% CI, 67 to 81) with placebo were alive and CNS disease-free. In the overall population, at 48 months, 92% (95% CI, 88 to 95) of patients with osimertinib and 81% (95% CI, 75 to 85) with placebo were alive and CNS disease-free.
In the stage II-IIIA population, 15/18 CNS recurrences in the osimertinib group occurred following completion or discontinuation of treatment compared with 3/32 CNS recurrences in the placebo group. Treatment status at CNS recurrence and timing of CNS recurrence by baseline imaging modality are shown in the Data Supplement.
In stage II-IIIA, the estimated probability of observing CNS recurrence (in the absence of non-CNS recurrence or death) at 36 months was 2% (95% CI, 0.86 to 5.03) with osimertinib versus 13% (95% CI, 8.52 to 18.48) with placebo. The cumulative incidence of CNS recurrence was consistently lower in the osimertinib group than in the placebo group (Fig 3B). Estimated probability data for the overall population are shown in the Data Supplement.
Safety
The safety analysis set included 680 patients (osimertinib: n = 337; placebo: n = 343). Adverse events (AEs) were reported in 330 (98%) and 309 (90%) patients in the osimertinib and placebo groups, respectively (Table 3). Incidence of Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (version 4) grade ≥ 3 AEs were 23% in the osimertinib group and 14% in the placebo group; AEs considered by the investigator to be possibly causally related to study drug (all grades) were 91% (osimertinib) and 58% (placebo; Data Supplement). Incidence rates of serious AEs were 20% (osimertinib) and 14% (placebo; Data Supplement). One fatal AE was reported in the osimertinib group; two fatal AEs were reported in the placebo group; none were considered to be causally related to study drug. Dose interruptions, dose reductions, and discontinuations of study drug because of AEs were 27%, 12%, and 13% in the osimertinib group and 13%, 1%, and 3% in the placebo group. The most commonly reported AEs (of all causality) were diarrhea (osimertinib 47% v placebo 20%), paronychia (27% v 1%), and dry skin (25% v 7%; Table 3). Interstitial lung disease (grouped term) was reported in 11 (3%) and zero patients in the osimertinib and placebo groups, respectively; all AEs were grades 1 or 2 and none were fatal. Cardiac effects (grouped term) were reported in 19 (6%) and nine (3%) patients in the osimertinib and placebo groups, respectively. Electrocardiogram QT prolonged was reported in 30 (9%) patients in the osimertinib group and eight (2%) patients in the placebo group (Data Supplement).

DISCUSSION
In this updated analysis of the final, mature DFS data, all 682 patients had the opportunity of 3 years of treatment; 66% and 41% patients completed 3 years of planned adjuvant osimertinib and placebo treatment, respectively. Adjuvant osimertinib demonstrated a sustained clinically meaningful DFS benefit, consistent with primary reporting11 (DFS HR, 0.23; 95% CI, 0.18 to 0.30 in stage II-IIIA; DFS HR, 0.27; 95% CI, 0.21 to 0.34 in the overall population). Consistent with the primary analysis,11,18,24 DFS benefit was observed across all subgroups and stages defined, including by the AJCC/UICC eighth edition manual.
The early separation in the Kaplan-Meier curves reported in the primary analysis was sustained to the last observed date in this updated analysis. There was an observed trend toward an increased DFS event rate beyond 36 months compared with the previous 36 months in the osimertinib group; however, the benefit of osimertinib treatment is clearly maintained as the curves remain separated beyond the 3-year treatment period. This observation suggests that some patients may benefit from adjuvant osimertinib beyond 3 years; molecular profiling and monitoring of minimal residual disease may help inform optimal treatment duration.
Overall recurrences, including locoregional only and distant recurrence, were lower with osimertinib compared with placebo. In both treatment groups, the majority of recurrences involved a distant recurrence, albeit with a smaller proportion of patients with distant recurrence in the osimertinib group. The increased maturity of these data provides a robust assessment of recurrence patterns.
Importantly, CNS DFS data from ADAURA demonstrate clear CNS efficacy with osimertinib. CNS DFS was improved with osimertinib in the stage II-IIIA (HR, 0.24; 95% CI, 0.14 to 0.42) and overall population (HR, 0.36; 95% CI, 0.23 to 0.57). The majority of CNS recurrences in the osimertinib group occurred after treatment was completed. In the CNS DFS analysis (stage II-IIIA), only three of 18 patients in the osimertinib group had CNS as their first site of recurrence while on treatment, compared with 29 of 32 patients in the placebo group. The conditional probability of CNS recurrence was consistently lower with osimertinib compared with placebo. The use of CT or MRI as baseline brain imaging in ADAURA was similar between groups and unlikely to have affected CNS efficacy assessment (Data Supplement).
Previous trials of adjuvant first-generation EGFR-TKIs have reported CNS efficacy results. The ADJUVANT/CTONG1104 trial reported a reduced risk of extracranial metastases with gefitinib, although a high incidence of CNS metastases was observed among all treated patients (adjuvant gefitinib 29/106 [27%]; adjuvant chemotherapy, 21/87 [24%]).9,25 Higher rates of CNS metastases over comparator were also seen among patients who experienced recurrence in the IMPACT26 and RADIANT trials.27 Although these trials differ with respect to patient population and follow-up time, these results in the adjuvant setting are consistent with findings that first- and second-generation EGFR-TKIs have less CNS efficacy compared with osimertinib in advanced NSCLC.13,14 These updated ADAURA data demonstrate osimertinib to be a compelling therapeutic option to reduce the risk of developing CNS metastases in resected EGFR-mutated NSCLC.
The safety profile observed for this extended treatment duration was consistent with the primary analysis. No new safety concerns were reported.
These updated data highlight the importance of routine EGFR testing at diagnosis to ensure that patients have the opportunity for optimal treatment. Future data of interest from ADAURA include long-term safety, subsequent treatment patterns, and overall survival. Tumor and circulating tumor DNA molecular profiling for analyses of minimal residual disease and acquired resistance may provide important information on persistence and resistance mechanisms to optimize treatment strategies in this setting.
Other ongoing studies will inform the efficacy and safety of osimertinib as adjuvant treatment for resected EGFR-mutated stage IA2-IA3 NSCLC (ADAURA2; ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT05120349), as 5-year adjuvant treatment for EGFR-mutated stage II-IIIB (TARGET; ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT05526755), as neoadjuvant treatment for EGFR-mutated stage II-IIIB N2 NSCLC (NeoADAURA; ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT04351555), and as maintenance therapy in unresectable EGFR-mutated stage III NSCLC (LAURA; ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT03521154).
Other EGFR-TKIs are being investigated in the adjuvant setting.7,28-34 The adjuvant treatment setting is also expanding beyond EGFR-TKIs to include immunotherapies.35,36 However, the benefit of immunotherapy has not been established for patients with EGFR-mutated disease, and patient numbers in prospective immunotherapy trials to date are limited.
In conclusion, the prolonged DFS benefit over placebo, magnitude of DFS benefit, reduced risk of local and distant recurrence, improved CNS DFS, and consistent safety profile observed in this updated analysis support adjuvant osimertinib as a highly effective treatment in patients with resected EGFR-mutated stage IB-IIIA NSCLC.
