164P - PD-L1 expression affect the efficacy of pemetrexed maintenance therapy in real-world patients with advanced non-squamous NSCLC (ID 278)

- Abstract
Background
It has been demonstrated that pemetrexed maintenance therapy is an effective and well tolerated option for patients with advanced non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This study aimed to investigate the impacts of clinical features, gene status and PD-L1 expression on the efficacy of pemetrexed maintenance therapy in real-world.

The clinicopathological characteristics and prognostic data of 102 patients with advanced non-squamous NSCLC who received pemetrexed maintenance therapy between May 2011 and October 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. Kaplan-Meier method with Log-rank test was used for survival analysis. Multivariate Cox regression were used to identify variables associated with median progression free survival (mPFS).

102 patients completed 485 cycles of induction chemotherapy and 509 cycles of maintenance chemotherapy, with a mPFS of 11.9 months (95%CI 9.95-13.84). The mPFS of ALK-positive patients was superior to negative patients (18.3 vs. 11.4 months; P = 0.032). Patients with PD-L1 expression ≥50% had significantly prolonged mPFS compared with PD-L1 <50% (17.5 vs. 11.4 months; P = 0.034). Bivariate correlation showed that PFS was significantly positively related to PD-L1 expression (R = 0.359, P = 0.001). No differences were found between EGFR positive and negative patients. The independent beneficial prognostic factors for PFS were age ≥65 years old (HR, 0.328; 95% CI, 0.137-0.787; P = 0.013) and ALK rearrangements (HR, 0.120; 95% CI, 0.027-0.533; P = 0.005).

Pemetrexed has been shown to be efficacious in patients with advanced non-squamous NSCLC. ALK rearrangements and high PD-L1 expression are more likely to have longer PFS of pemetrexed maintenance therapy.
