      Background

      MAPS phase 3 trial assessing the addition of bevacizumab to pemetrexed-cisplatin doublet set a new standard of care in malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) patients, showing 18.8 months median overall survival (OS) with triplet combo. While both arms were well balanced in terms of 2L treatments, the size of the OS benefit from second-line treatments remains controversial.

      Method

      Long-term survival data were collected in the 342 MAPS patients alive at the end of the first-line (1L) treatments, in both arms. Median OS and 2-year survivals were calculated from the initiation of 2L. Multivariate analysis using Cox model included the stratification variables of the MAPS trial, along with the treatment arm (with or without bevacizumab).

      Result

      342/442(77.4%) patients received 2L treatment for disease progression after MAPS trial, of which 324 received chemotherapy (CT), 18 palliative radiotherapy (RT), while 100/442 (22.6%) remained untreated. 160/342 patients (46.8%) had a platinum-based doublet CT. 163 patients (47.7%) received a single-drug CT. 172/324 (53.1%) received a pemetrexed-containing regimen (alone or with platinum), 84 (25.9%) a gemcitabine-based CT, 16 (4.9%) vinorelbin alone, 48 (14.8%) gemcitabine alone, while in 12 (3.7%) single-agent bevacizumab was resumed. Median age was lower in patients with doublet CT (64.4 years, IQR 60.2-68.9) vs. single-drug CT patients (66.3 years, IQR 61.5-70.3), patients receiving RT (68.5 years, IQR 63.3-70.5) or untreated patients (67.8 years, IQR 63.4-71) (p=0.007). There were more PS=2 patients (10%) in the untreated group, compared with 0.6%, 1.8% and 5.6% in those receiving doublet, monotherapy or radiotherapy, respectively (p<0.001). A lower proportion of patients receiving 2L doublet CT had sarcomatoid/biphasic MPM (11.2%) compared with 21.5%, 38.9% and 25% in those with single-arm agent, RT or untreated, respectively (p=0.002). When compared with those treated with 2L single-agent, patients with 2L doublet had more frequently objective response (11.9 vs. 3.1%, p=0.005) and disease control (60.3 vs. 34.6%, p<0.0001). From the date of 2L therapy initiation, median OS was 3.2 months, 95%CI [1.7-5.0] for RT vs. 7.0 months 95%CI[5.6-7.8] for single-agent CT, or 12.2 months 95%CI [9.5-14.1] for doublet CT. HRs were adjusted for 1L treatment type (bevacizumab-containing or not), PS, smoking, and histology. Adj.HR (single-agent vs. doublet) was 1.21, 95% CI(0.96-1.53), p=0.11. Adj.HR (monotherapy vs. RT) was 0.39, 95%CI[0.24-0.65], p=0.0003. Adj.HR (combination CT vs. RT) was 0.32 95%CI[0.19-0.54], p<0.0001. 1-year OS was 11.8%, 95%CI [0.0-27.1], 48.7%, 95%CI [39.9-57.5], and 32.9%, 95%CI [25.1-40.6], in patients with RT alone, single agent CT or combination CT, while 2-year OS was 0%, 14.2%, and 20.0% respectively.

      Conclusion

      Second-line monotherapy only gave a 7-months median OS in MPM patients, comparing unfavorably to 11.9 and 15.9-months median OS with 2nd/3rd-line nivolumab or nivolumab+ipilimumab respectively, in the IFCT-1501 MAPS-2 randomized phase 2 trial. Conversely, 2L platinum-based chemo, in younger fit patients, still gave a 12.2-months median OS, not statistically different from monotherapy in the multivariate analysis, as a consequence of PS influence, although clinically meaningful. Based on these results, immunotherapy might be preferred for 2L/3L MPM patients, while monotherapy CT shows limited survival benefit.

      MA07.02 - Early Change of dNLR Is Correlated with Outcomes in Advanced NSCLC Patients Treated with Immunotherapy (Now Available) (ID 2676)

      13:30 - 15:00  |  Author(s): Clarisse Audigier-Valette

      • Abstract

      • Slides

      Background

      The [neutrophils/[leucocytes-neutrophils] ratio (dNLR) correlates with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) outcomes in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (aNSCLC) patients. Significance of early dNLR change after the first course of ICI is unknown.

      Method

      Patients with NSCLC treated with ICI (PD(L)1+/-CTLA4) between Nov. 2012 and Jun. 2018 at 16 EU/US centers were included. A control group treated with chemotherapy (CT) only was also evaluated (NCT02105168). dNLR was collected at baseline (B) and at cycle 2 (C2). Patients were categorized as low vs high dNLR at each timepoint (defined as < vs > 3, as previously done), and the change between B and C2 (good = low at both timepoints, poor = high at both timepoints, mixed = different at each timepoint).

      Result

      1485 patients treated with ICI were analyzed. PDL1 was negative in 162 (11%), 1-49% in 178 (12%), ≥50% in 201 (14%), and missing in 944 (64%). dNLR at B and C2 did not associate with PD-L1 status.

      At baseline, dNLR was high in 509 (34%) patients and associated with worse PFS compared to those patients with low dNLR at baseline (HR 1.56, P<0.0001) and OS (HR 2.02, P<0.0001). At C2, dNLR was high in 484 (34%) and similarly associated with worse outcomes compared to patients with low dNLR at C2 (PFS HR 1.64, P<0.0001; OS HR 2.13, P<0.0001).

      Between B and C2, dNLR remained low in 804 (56%, « good ») or high in 327 (23%, « poor ») or changed in 310 pts (22%, « intermediate »). Those with a good dNLR demonstrated mPFS 5.3, mOS 18.6 mo), followed by those intermediate with mixed dNLR (mPFS 3, mOS 9.2 mo), and finally poor dNLR (mPFS 2, mOS 5mo). Outcomes were independant of PD-L1 expression (adjusted HR for PFS 1.94 for intermediate and 3.16 for poor groups, compared to good dNLR group, P<.001; adjusted HR for OS was 2.08 for intermediate and 3.67 for poor groups, P<0.001).A bootstrap tested the stability of OS/PFS prediction (P<0.001).

      In the chemo-cohort (n=173), high C1-dNLR (n=81, 47%) was not associated with OS (P=0.84).

      Conclusion

      dNLR at baseline, at cycle 2, and the change between these two timepoints associated with outcomes in patients treated with immunotherapy independent of PD-L1, but not in patients treated with chemotherapy alone. dNLR is specifically prognostic in the context of immunotherapy.

      OA04.02 - CheckMate 817: First-Line Nivolumab + Ipilimumab in Patients with ECOG PS 2 and Other Special Populations with Advanced NSCLC (Now Available) (ID 1876)

      15:15 - 16:45  |  Author(s): Clarisse Audigier-Valette

      • Abstract
      • Presentation
      • Slides

      Background

      Data are limited for immunotherapy in patients with advanced NSCLC and poor performance status or other comorbidities. CheckMate 817 is a multi-cohort, open-label phase 3b/4 study investigating safety and efficacy of flat-dose nivolumab plus weight-based low-dose ipilimumab in advanced NSCLC. Here we evaluate this regimen as first-line treatment in special populations (cohort A1) and a reference population (cohort A; previously reported).

      Method

      Patients had previously untreated advanced NSCLC. Cohort A1 (n=198) had ECOG PS 2 or ECOG PS 0–1 with 1 of: asymptomatic untreated brain metastases, hepatic or renal impairment, or HIV. Cohort A (n=391) had ECOG PS 0–1. Patients with known EGFR mutations or ALK translocations sensitive to available targeted therapy were excluded from both cohorts. Nivolumab 240 mg Q2W plus ipilimumab 1 mg/kg Q6W was administered for two years or until disease progression/unacceptable toxicity. Safety and efficacy endpoints were assessed; cohort A1 analyses were exploratory.

      Result

      Cohort A1 patients were grouped as: ECOG PS 2 (n=139) and all other special populations (AOSP; n=59). Baseline characteristics were generally balanced between cohorts. Rates of grade 3–4 treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) were similar between cohorts; within cohort A1, grade 3–4 TRAEs were numerically higher in AOSP versus the ECOG PS 2 subgroup; TRAEs leading to discontinuation were similar across populations (Table). ORR was 25% in cohort A1 (patients with ECOG PS 2, 20%; AOSP, 37%) and 35% in cohort A. PFS was numerically shorter in cohort A1 than cohort A; high TMB (≥10 mut/Mb) and higher PD-L1 expression (≥1% or ≥50%) were associated with numerically longer PFS in both cohorts (Table).

      Conclusion

      First-line flat-dose nivolumab plus weight-based ipilimumab showed a consistent safety profile in special populations with advanced NSCLC, including those with ECOG PS 2. Patients with either high TMB or higher tumor PD-L1 expression appeared to exhibit improved efficacy.

      P1.04-30 - Pioneer Study: Precision Immuno-Oncology for Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Patients with PD1/L1 ICI Resistance (ID 1865)

      09:45 - 18:00  |  Author(s): Clarisse Audigier-Valette

      • Abstract

      Background

      In the management of advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Carcinoma (NSCLC), both PD1/L1 immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have been shown to increase overall survival (OS) over standard second-line chemotherapy. While this long-term increase in OS is driven by about 20% of patients, others display disease progression during the first weeks (w.). PIONeeR aims to understand, through a strategy based on a comprehensive biomarkers assessment, and overcome, through rescue IO strategies, the resistance to ICIs.

      Method

      Stage IV or recurrent NSCLC patients (n=450), with an archived pre-ICI tumor block, planned for a standard 2nd or 3rd line ICIs monotherapy, will be screened. If eligible, after signing an informed written consent, they will be blood-sampled, every cycle throughout the 18 w. post C1D1, and systematically be re-biopsied (primitive or metastasis tumor) at 6 w. of treatment. Efficacy of ICIs will be assessed by RECIST, after 6, 12 and 18 w. Feces will be self-collected by patients, before and during ICIs, to analyze impact of gut microbiome in resistance to ICIs. Characterization of the specific immune contexture of each patient to potentially predict the efficacy of ICIs will be based on the investigation of tumors and their microenvironment (Immunoscore® IC & Multiplex ImmunoHistoChemistry, Tumor Mutational Burden –T cell clonality- ctDNA investigation), effector immune cells, cytokines and endothelial activation (ELISA-Flow cytometry). Protocol’s legal and ethical authorizations were obtained on February 2018 (NCT03493581), patient inclusions were enhanced on April 2018 with the activation of 3 main centers; 10 satellites centers were opened at Q4 2018, inclusions are expected to be completed at Q4 2020. Patients who will progress between 6 and 18 w. (n=150) will be randomized within a precision immuno-oncology experimental masterprotocol using a Bayesian, adaptive design (4 combinations of PDL1i and NKG2Ai, STAT3i, ATRi or CD73i or a control arm). Legal authorizations were obtained on December 2018 (NCT03833440), the inclusion period is expected to last 24 months, from the beginning of Q2 2019.Descriptive statistics will be used to characterize distributions of marker’s expression and to evaluate their predictive value on treatment response and prognostic value on Progression Free Survival., in both protocols. The primary endpoint of the randomized clinical trial is the 12-week Disease Control Rate, assessed in each arm of treatment.
