      Background

      Tumor PD-L1 expression has been shown to enrich for response to immunotherapy in several indications, including advanced NSCLC. However, the stability of PD-L1 expression over time and its relationship with non-immunotherapy cancer treatment is currently uncertain. We hypothesized that prior chemotherapy or radiotherapy would increase PD-L1 expression.

      In the Phase 2, open-label, single-arm durvalumab ATLANTIC study (NCT02087423), patients who had received ≥2 prior systemic regimens in the treatment of Stage IIIB or IV NSCLC were screened for tumor PD-L1 expression by immunohistochemistry using the VENTANA PD-L1 (SP263) Assay (25% tumor cell [TC] cutoff). PD-L1 expression was assessed using either a recent (<3 months) or archival sample; a subset of patients provided both. The relationship between non-immunotherapy cancer treatment and prevalence of tumor PD-L1 expression ≥25% (TC≥25%) was assessed in patients who received therapy prior to sample acquisition versus those who did not. Pearson’s chi-squared test was used to examine the differences between patient subgroups.

      Of the patients screened for participation in ATLANTIC, 1590 were successfully assessed for PD-L1 expression. PD-L1 TC≥25% prevalence was higher in patients who had received prior radiotherapy or chemotherapy before sample acquisition, with prevalence noticeably higher in those who had received ≥2 lines of prior chemotherapy. Prior EGFR inhibitor treatment did not have any noticeable relationship to TC≥25% prevalence (Table). In the subset of patients with paired recent and archival samples, TC≥25% prevalence remained the same in 74% of cases, increased over time in 19.5%, and decreased in 6.5%.

      8eea62084ca7e541d918e823422bd82e Conclusion

      PD-L1 expression may increase in response to chemotherapy or radiotherapy and is unlikely to decrease over time. Re-biopsy may provide a more accurate assessment of current tumor PD-L1 expression status when a low/negative result is seen in an archival sample, particularly if the patient has received multiple lines of intervening radiotherapy or chemotherapy.

      P1.16-06 - Expanded Efficacy and Safety Analysis of PACIFIC Based on a PD-L1 Cutpoint of 25% (ID 12992)

      16:45 - 18:00  |  Author(s): Anne-Marie Boothman

      • Abstract
      • Slides

      Background

      In the Phase 3 PACIFIC study of patients with stage III, unresectable NSCLC without progression after concurrent chemoradiotherapy (cCRT), PFS was significantly longer with durvalumab versus placebo (stratified HR 0.52; 95% CI 0.42–0.65; P<0.0001). We report exploratory analyses of PACIFIC outcomes by PD-L1 expression assessed in tumor samples collected prior to cCRT.

      a9ded1e5ce5d75814730bb4caaf49419 Method

      PACIFIC (NCT02125461) was a Phase 3, randomized, double-blind study of patients with WHO PS 0/1 without progression after ≥2 cycles of platinum-based cCRT. Eligibility was irrespective of PD-L1 expression; archived samples were optional for testing (VENTANA PD-L1 [SP263] assay). No samples were obtained after cCRT, prior to infusion with durvalumab or placebo. Patients were randomized (2:1) to durvalumab 10 mg/kg IV Q2W or placebo up to 12 months, stratified by age, sex and smoking history. Co-primary endpoints were PFS (blinded independent central review, RECIST v1.1) and OS (not available). Secondary endpoints included ORR and safety. We investigated associations between subgroups of patients with PD-L1 expression on tumor cells (TC) of <25% or ≥25% and efficacy.

      4c3880bb027f159e801041b1021e88e8 Result

      As of February 13, 2017, 713 patients were randomized; 451 (63.3%) had known PD-L1 status (TC<25%, 64.7%; TC≥25%, 35.3%; Table). Baseline characteristics and prior therapy (including best response to prior therapy) were generally well balanced between arms across both PD-L1 subgroups. PFS benefit with durvalumab was demonstrated irrespective of PD-L1 status (HR 0.59; 95% CI, 0.43–0.82 for TC<25% and HR 0.41; 95% CI, 0.26–0.65 for TC≥25%) (Table). ORR was greater with durvalumab compared to placebo regardless of PD-L1 status (Table). The overall safety profile of durvalumab in each PD-L1 subgroup was consistent with the ITT population treated with durvalumab.

      8eea62084ca7e541d918e823422bd82e Conclusion

      Durvalumab demonstrated clinical benefit and had a well-tolerated, manageable safety profile irrespective of PD-L1 status obtained from archival tumor samples prior to cCRT.

ITT, intention-to-treat; NR, not reached; ORR, objective response rate; PFS, progression-free survival.
