      Background

      Cemiplimab (REGN2810), a human monoclonal anti-PD-1, has exhibited substantial antitumor activities in patients with advanced malignancies in a first-in-human study. We report interim results of the Phase 1 expansion cohorts (ECs 1 and 2) of cemiplimab, alone or plus radiotherapy, in advanced NSCLC (NCT02383212).

      Patients with advanced NSCLC who had relapsed after, or were refractory to, at least, first-line therapy received cemiplimab 200 mg Q2W in EC 1, or cemiplimab 3 mg/kg Q2W plus radiotherapy (9 Gy × 3 times/week 1 week after first dose of cemiplimab) to a single lesion in EC 2. For EC 2, patients were required to have NSCLC for which palliative radiation therapy was indicated. Planned treatment duration was up to 48 weeks in both ECs. The co-primary objectives were to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of cemiplimab, alone or plus radiotherapy. Tumor measurements (of non-irradiated lesions) were performed by RECIST 1.1 Q8W.

      As of Sept 1, 2017, 20 patients (13 M/ 7 F; median age 64.0 years [range, 50–82]) and 33 patients (22 M/ 11 F; median age 67.0 years [range, 47–82]) were enrolled in EC 1 and EC 2, respectively. ECOG performance status 1 versus 0 was 80.0% versus 20.0% and 66.7% versus 30.3%, respectively, for ECs 1 and 2, and missing in one in EC 2; 75.0% (EC 1) and 48.5% (EC 2) had received prior radiotherapy. Investigator-assessed overall response rate (ORR; complete response [CR] + partial response [PR]) was 40.0% (1 CR and 7 PRs) and 18.2% (6 PRs) in EC 1 and EC 2, respectively. Disease control rate (ORR + stable disease [SD]) was 60.0% (1 CR + 7 PRs + 4 SDs) and 72.7% (6 PRs + 18 SDs) in EC 1 and EC 2, respectively. The most common treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) of any grade were arthralgia, asthenia, cough, and dyspnea (each 20.0%) in EC 1, and decreased appetite (30.3%), fatigue (27.3%), cough (24.2%), asthenia and back pain (each 21.2%) in EC 2. Grade ≥3 TEAEs occurring in ≥2 patients were pneumonia (10.0%) in EC 1; and anemia (12.1%), hypophosphatemia and urinary tract infection (each 6.1%) in EC 2. One patient in EC 2 experienced TEAE of pneumonitis with an outcome of death, considered related to study drug.

      8eea62084ca7e541d918e823422bd82e Conclusion

      Cemiplimab monotherapy demonstrated substantial antitumor activity in pretreated NSCLC patients. The safety profiles were comparable with other anti-PD-1 agents and radiotherapy.
