    Background
    

    Cisplatin-based chemotherapy, before or after surgery, provides only a 5% benefit in 5yr. OS in resectable NSCLC. A 20 patient study (NEJM April 2018) showed that preoperative immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy yielded a clinically meaningful major pathologic response rate (MPR ≤10% residual viable tumor cells) and did not delay or complicate surgery. This large multicenter trial measures MPR and biomarkers of benefit using neoadjuvant atezolizumab (atezo) [NCT02927301].

    We planned 2 cycles of atezo (1200mg, days 1, 22) in patients with stages IB -selected IIIB resectable NSCLC prior to surgical resection (day 40 +/- 10). Chest CT, PET were planned pre-atezo and presurgery to assess response. Primary tumor +/- node biopsies and blood samples were obtained before atezo and presurgery for biomarker studies. The primary endpoint was MPR. Secondary endpoints included safety, response by PD-L1, OS, and DFS.

    For this updated efficacy and safety analysis (Feb’18 datacut), we report first 54 of 180 planned pts: 29 males, median age 65 yr, all ECOG 0-1; 17 current, 33 former smokers; 35 non-squamous NSCLC; clinical stages Ib/IIa/IIb/IIIa/IIIb = 5/11/13/20/5. Two pts received one dose of atezo due to treatment related AE (Gr 1 pyrexia, Gr 2 dyspnea) but underwent uncomplicated resection with MPR assessment. There was 1 unrelated Gr 5 AE (sudden cardiac death post surgical resection), 16 Gr 3-4 AEs (3 treatment related). Surgery was delayed in 1 pt due to Gr3 pneumonitis. By RECIST, 3 pts had PR, and 49 had SD. 50 pts underwent surgery and 47 pts had MPR assessment: 2 pts discontinued study preop due to radiographic PD and 2 discontinued due to other reasons; 3 pts had unresectable disease. MPR rate was 10/50 (20%, 95% CI 10-34%) including 3 pts who had pCR (no viable tumor cells) in the primary tumor. Excluding 5 pts who had known driver mutations (4 EGFR+, 1 ALK+), MPR rate was 10/45 (22%, 95% CI 11-37%). PD-L1 status was evaluable in 44/54 pts; 8/10 pts with MPR had PD-L1+ status and 2 had unknown PD-L1 status; 8/28 PDL-1 (+) patients had MPR (29%).

    In a multicenter study, neoadjuvant atezo was well tolerated. MPR rate is encouraging. Clinical and pathological responses are often discordant. Correlative analyses on pre- and post atezo tissues are ongoing. Preliminary correlative analyses in blood samples are included in a separate abstract.
