      Background

      In the US, no approved standard of care exists for the treatment of relapsed SCLC in 3L setting. This study describes 3L outcomes in US patients with SCLC and creates a matched real-world historical comparator to CheckMate 032, highlighting the relative benefit that nivolumab treatment may offer to patients.

      a9ded1e5ce5d75814730bb4caaf49419 Method

      Adult patients receiving 3L therapy for SCLC were selected from the Flatiron Health electronic health record (EHR) database (01Jan2011-30Sep2017). Index date was SCLC diagnosis. A matched cohort was constructed and evaluated based on Inclusion (I)/Exclusion (E) criteria of CheckMate 032. Patients were included if: pretreated with ≥1one platinum-containing regimen; ECOG score of 0 or 1; ≥2 months of continuous medical data. Patients were excluded if: treated with immunotherapy; had brain metastases; autoimmune disease (except type I diabetes); HIV; Hep B/Hep C on/after diagnosis; on immunosuppressive doses of systemic corticosteroids. Kaplan-Meier curves were generated for patients with 3L SCLC from treatment initiation to death. Duration of therapy (DoT) was analyzed as time from start to end of 3L

      2,209 SCLC patients initiated 1L, of which 218(9.8%) received 3L treatment. 92 patients with SCLC matched I/E criteria as in CM 032. Mean age was 64 years; 53% were female; 68% were white; 99% had a history of smoking; and 94% of patients were treated in a community setting. Median follow-up exceeded 15 months. Median and landmark OS (1-year, 18-months, 2-year) and DoT including data for a subset of 3L patients, matched for I/E criteria to CheckMate 032 (n=92), are reported in the table.

      Poor survival among US patients treated for 3L SCLC emphasizes the need for more effective and tolerable therapies. In CheckMate 032, nivolumab demonstrated considerable activity in heavily pretreated patients when compared to real-world data and may represent a therapeutic option over available treatments.

      P3.01-57 - Real-World (RW) Predictors of Immuno-Oncology (IO) vs Chemotherapy (C) Use in Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (aNSCLC) (ID 13002)

      12:00 - 13:30  |  Author(s): Beata Korytowsky

      Background

      For patients with aNSCLC without known mutations, demographic and clinical characteristics may impact second-line (2L) treatment decisions. Describing predictors of 2L RW drug utilization may help optimize outcomes of patients with aNSCLC who eventually progress. This study evaluated predictors for 2L IO vs. C use in patients with aNSCLC treated with 1L C (proxy for patients without treatment-altering mutations).

      a9ded1e5ce5d75814730bb4caaf49419 Method

      A retrospective cohort of continuously enrolled adult patients with lung cancer initiating 1L C ≤6 months of diagnosis was identified from Inovalon’s MORE2 Registry® claims post IO approval in lung cancer (Mar 2015 - Dec 2016). Patients receiving 2L systemic therapy following 1L C were selected, excluding patients with SCLC, treated for secondary malignancies, with <1 month follow-up, or on clinical trials. The influence of baseline characteristics on choice of 2L IO vs C was evaluated using binary multiple logistic regression (LR), excluding targeted therapy (TT) due to small sample. Odds ratio (OR) >1 indicated greater chance of IO use. P-value <0.05 was considered significant.

      4c3880bb027f159e801041b1021e88e8 Result

      Of 2,700 patients initiating 1L C, 829 (31%) received 2L: 539 (65%) received C, 262 (32%) IO, 28 (3%) TT. By subgroup (C, IO, TT), 46%, 54%, 57% (p=0.055) were female; mean age at 2L start was 65.3, 66.0, 61.0 years (p=0.045); Charlson comorbidity index: 2.8, 2.0, 1.5 (p=0.001); lines of therapy per patient: 2.4, 2.3, 2.5 (p=0.012); comorbidity count: 1.5, 1.1, 0.7 (p<0.001); follow-up from 1L start: 11.3, 10.9, 11.6 months (p=0.499); 18%, 26%, 21% (p=0.028) commercially insured; 70%, 68%, 39% (p=0.003) had evidence of smoking cessation/ counselling; 30%, 13%, 11% (p<0.001) had evidence of another malignancy at diagnosis; and 7%, 3%, 0% (p=0.032) had evidence of diabetes with chronic complications at diagnosis.

      LR model showed factors increasing likelihood of 2L IO use included evidence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) at diagnosis (OR=1.54, p=0.025), longer time to 1L discontinuation (1.27, p<0.001), and commercial insurance (2.29, p=0.001). Factors negatively impacting IO choice were: 1L combination therapy use (0.48, p<0.001), evidence of secondary malignancy at diagnosis (0.21, p=0.001), and evidence of diabetes with chronic complications at diagnosis (0.33, p=0.031).

      8eea62084ca7e541d918e823422bd82e Conclusion

      This retrospective RW study showed that aNSCLC patients with COPD, longer 1L treatment, on 1L monotherapy, and private insurance are more likely to receive 2L IO vs C. As such, early consideration needs to be given in order to monitor these patients more closely.
