      Background

      Data regarding intracerebral efficacy of nivolumab in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are lacking because of routinely exclusion of patients with active brain metastases (BMs) from clinical trials. We aimed at assessing intracranial activity of nivolumab in patients with BMs in a real-life setting and determining the potential role of prior radiotherapy.

      Between 01/09/2015 and 30/09/2016, all consecutive advanced NSCLC patients treated with nivolumab after failure of at least one line of chemotherapy were included. Nivolumab was administered at a dose of 3 mg/kg q2w until progression or unacceptable toxicity. Primary endpoint was intracerebral objective response rate (IORR) assessed by brain magnetic resonance imaging or brain computed-tomography scans. Secondary endpoints were overall response rate (ORR) and median duration of intracerebral response.

      259 patients were treated with nivolumab in 9 centers. Among them, 77 patients who presented BMs before nivolumab initiation were enrolled: 53 (20.5%) at diagnosis and 24 (9.3%) during the course of treatments. Median age at diagnosis was 57 years [29-78]. Most patients were males (72.7%) with smoking history (90.9%) and had adenocarcinoma (72.7%). 23 patients harbored a KRAS mutation. PD-L1 status was unknown. The median of prior lines was 1 [1-6]. BMs were pretreated in 48 (62.3%) patients: 16 received prior SBRT, 32 WBRT. Median time between prior radiotherapy and nivolumab initiation was 4 months [1-;27]. IORR and ORR were 10.4% and 20.8%, respectively. Among the 8 patients with intracerebral response, 5 (6.5%) had pretreated BMs, 3 (3.9%) had radiotherapy-naïve BMs. Median duration of intracerebral response was 11.5 months. No neurological adverse events occurred during nivolumab treatment. Among 259 patients, 36 (13.8%) developed BMs during nivolumab treatment.

      8eea62084ca7e541d918e823422bd82e Conclusion

      Nivolumab intracerebral response achieved 10.4% in real-life with a satisfactory neurological safety profile. If prior radiotherapy improves IORR must be determined by further investigations.

      MA10.08 - Choice of Taxane and Outcomes in the KEYNOTE-407 Study of Pembrolizumab Plus Chemotherapy for Metastatic Squamous NSCLC (ID 14698)

      11:25 - 11:30  |  Author(s): Romain Corre

      • Abstract

      Background

      In the randomized, double-blind, phase 3 KEYNOTE-407 study (NCT02775435), pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy with carboplatin and paclitaxel or nab-paclitaxel significantly prolonged OS (HR 0.64, 95% CI 0.49-0.85, P=0.0008) and PFS (HR 0.56, 95% CI 0.45-0.70, P<0.0001) compared with placebo plus chemotherapy in patients with previously untreated, metastatic squamous NSCLC. The benefit of pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy was observed irrespective of PD-L1 TPS. Pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy also had a manageable safety profile. We performed an exploratory analysis of outcomes by investigator’s choice of paclitaxel or nab-paclitaxel, which was a randomization stratification factor.

      a9ded1e5ce5d75814730bb4caaf49419 Method

      559 eligible patients were randomized 1:1 to pembrolizumab 200 mg or placebo Q3W for up to 35 cycles plus 4 cycles of carboplatin AUC 6 mg/mL/min Q3W and investigator’s choice of paclitaxel 200 mg/m2 Q3W or nab-paclitaxel 100 mg/m2 QW. Primary end points were OS and PFS; ORR and safety were secondary.

      4c3880bb027f159e801041b1021e88e8 Result

      Paclitaxel was the chosen taxane in 60% of patients. The addition of pembrolizumab to chemotherapy improved OS, PFS, and ORR regardless of choice of carboplatin and paclitaxel or carboplatin and nab-paclitaxel (Table). Incidence of grade 3-5 AEs in the pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy arm vs placebo plus chemotherapy arm was 63.9% vs 59.3% in paclitaxel recipients and 78.9% vs 81.4% in nab-paclitaxel recipients. AEs led to discontinuation of all treatment in 13.6% vs 8.4% of paclitaxel recipients and 12.8% vs 3.5% of nab-paclitaxel recipients and led to discontinuation of any treatment in 19.5% vs 13.2% and 29.4% vs 9.7%, respectively. Immune-mediated AEs occurred in 29.6% vs 9.6% of paclitaxel recipients and 27.5% vs 7.1% of nab-paclitaxel recipients.

      8eea62084ca7e541d918e823422bd82e Conclusion

      Adding pembrolizumab to chemotherapy with carboplatin and a taxane improved efficacy and was generally tolerable compared with chemotherapy alone as first-line therapy in patients with metastatic squamous NSCLC regardless of whether paclitaxel or nab-paclitaxel was the chosen taxane.

      OA05.06 - CheckMate 227: Patient-Reported Outcomes of First-Line Nivolumab + Ipilimumab in High Tumor Mutational Burden Advanced NSCLC (ID 13450)

      14:25 - 14:35  |  Author(s): Romain Corre

      • Abstract
      • Presentation
      • Slides

      Background

      The randomized, open-label, multipart phase 3 study CheckMate 227 (NCT02477826) demonstrated a significant progression-free survival benefit (co-primary endpoint) with first-line nivolumab+ipilimumab versus histology-based, platinum-doublet chemotherapy in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and high tumor mutational burden (TMB; ≥10 mutations/Mb). Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) for this population within CheckMate 227 are presented.

      a9ded1e5ce5d75814730bb4caaf49419 Method

      Eligible chemotherapy-naïve patients had stage IV or recurrent NSCLC, ECOG performance status 0−1, and no known sensitizing EGFR/ALK alterations. PROs were assessed as an exploratory endpoint; this analysis included patients with high TMB randomized to nivolumab+ipilimumab or chemotherapy; specific outcomes included proportion of patients with disease-related symptom deterioration by 12 weeks and time to deterioration in symptoms (by Lung Cancer Symptom Scale [LCSS] Average Symptom Burden Index [ASBI]), and assessment of quality of life and overall health status (by EuroQoL-5 Dimension [EQ-5D] utility index [UI] and visual analog scale [VAS]). PROs were evaluated each cycle (Q2W, nivolumab+ipilimumab; Q3W, chemotherapy) for the first 6 months, every 6 weeks thereafter during treatment, and at follow-up visits 1/2. EQ-5D was also assessed during survival follow-up.

      4c3880bb027f159e801041b1021e88e8 Result

      PRO completion rates were ~90% at baseline and >80% for nearly all on-treatment assessments. Among patients with high TMB, fewer patients in the nivolumab+ipilimumab (n=139) versus chemotherapy (n=160) groups reported symptom deterioration by week 12, irrespective of whether they were still on therapy or had discontinued (22.3% versus 35.0%; absolute risk reduction: 12.7% [95% CI: 2.4–22.5]). Time to first deterioration (TTD) using common assessment time points (on/off treatment) was delayed with nivolumab+ipilimumab versus chemotherapy for the LCSS ASBI (hazard ratio [HR]: 0.40; 95% CI: 0.26–0.63) and 3-Item Global Index (3-IGI; HR: 0.56; 95% CI: 0.38–0.82). The estimated benefit in TTD generally favored nivolumab+ipilimumab for individual symptoms in the ASBI and each item in the 3-IGI (HRs: 0.48–0.74), except for hemoptysis (HR: 1.20), which exhibited very low burden; an advantage for nivolumab+ipilimumab was also seen in the EQ-5D VAS (HR: 0.62; 95% CI: 0.42–0.92) and UI (HR: 0.50; 95% CI: 0.34–0.73). Mean changes from baseline with nivolumab+ipilimumab showed early and clinically meaningful improvements in LCSS ASBI/3-IGI and EQ-5D VAS/UI; for patients treated with chemotherapy, symptoms and quality of life remained stable (LCSS ASBI/3-IGI, EQ-5D UI) or improved following completion of chemotherapy (EQ-5D VAS).

      8eea62084ca7e541d918e823422bd82e Conclusion

      Nivolumab+ipilimumab demonstrated early and sustained improvements in health-related quality of life versus chemotherapy in patients with advanced NSCLC and high TMB.
