      Background

      While consolidation immunotherapy after chemoradiation (CRT) is the current standard of care for locally advanced NSCLC (LA-NSCLC), the effectiveness of immunotherapies may be enhanced when combined concurrently with CRT. We report on the safety and preliminary efficacy of combining PD-L1 blockade using atezolizumab (atezo) and concurrent CRT followed by consolidation full dose carboplatin/paclitaxel (CP) with atezo and maintenance atezo up to 1 year for LA-NSCLC.

      This is a single institution phase II study in LA-NSCLC assessing the safety and feasibility of adding atezo to CRT in two parts: I) sequentially (N=10) with CP after completing CRT, or II) concurrently (N=30) with CRT followed by consolidation atezo with CP. Atezo was given at 1200 mg IV Q3 weeks for up to one year from the first dose. Radiation dose at 60-66 Gy in 30-33 fractions was combined with weekly low dose CP, followed by 2 cycles of full dose CP. Severe adverse events (AEs) ≥ grade 3 are defined within 15 weeks of start of therapy or any immune-related AEs during atezo treatment. Evaluable patients (pts) have received at least one dose of atezo.

      From February 2016 to April 2018, we accrued 40 evaluable pts. For part 1, any grade 3+ AEs was seen in 6 pts (60%), with most common being pneumonia (2 of 10, 20%). Three grade 3+ AEs (30%) were attributed to atezo, including dyspnea, arthralgia and a grade 5 TE fistula. Grade 2 radiation pneumonitis (RP) was seen in 3 pts. Four progressed with disease during atezo maintenance and have died, ranging from 0.93 to 1.86 years. Four pts completed atezo and are in follow up without recurrence. For part 2, 17 of 30 pts had any grade 3+ AEs (57%), with pneumonia being the most common (6 of 30, 20%). Three (10%) were attributed to atezo (dyspnea, fatigue and heart failure). RP was seen in 3 pts, with 2 grade 2 and 1 grade 3, which led to atezo discontinuation. So far, 4 pts have progressed and 4 have died, 2 due to disease and 2 due to treatment (neutropenic sepsis and gastric hemorrhage). All others have completed CRT and are on maintenance atezo, ranging from 5 to 19 doses. Updated efficacy results will be presented.

      8eea62084ca7e541d918e823422bd82e Conclusion

      Concurrent atezo with CRT followed by consolidation and maintenance atezo appears safe without increased toxicities compared to CRT alone followed by consolidation and maintenance atezo.
