MA05.05 - Post-Discontinuation Treatments in IFCT-GFPC-0701 MAPS Trial: Real-World Effectiveness of 2nd-Line (2L) Treatments for Mesothelioma (Now Available) (ID 815)
13:30 - 15:00 | Author(s): Valérie Gounant
- Abstract
- Presentation
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.

MA05.11 - Safety and Efficacy of Nintedanib in Combination with Pembrolizumab in Patients with Refractory/Relapsing Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma (Now Available) (ID 2170)
13:30 - 15:00 | Author(s): Valérie Gounant
- Abstract
- Presentation
Background
Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is an aggressive disease with no standard of care after progression to first line pemetrexed and platinum-based chemotherapy. Combinations between anti-angiogenic agents and immunotherapy are being developed as angiogenesis and immunosuppression influence each other leading to a more powerful anti-tumor response. Both Nintedanib and Pembrolizumab have been investigated as single agents or in different treatment combinations in MPM patients with interesting activity.
Method
The PEMBIB trial is a multi-centric open-label non-randomized basket phase 1 trial evaluating the combination of nintedanib with pembrolizumab in multiple tumor types. The safety and activity of the dose escalation part of the study were reported at AACR & ASCO meetings in 2018 with an established DLT defined as grade 3 alanine and/or aspartate aminotransferase elevation (ALT/AST). The recommended phase 2 dose is set at 150 mg BID of nintedanib with 200 mg flat dose of pembrolizumab. We would like to report the safety and activity of one of the expansion cohorts of patients with relapsing/refractory MPM which has now been completed. Eligible MPM patients were 18 years or older with an ECOG performance status of 0 or 1, histologically proven MPM that relapsed after at least one line of pemetrexed and platinum-based combination, specific anti-angiogenic eligibility criteria such as no radiographic evidence of cavitary/necrotic or tumors with local invasion of major blood vessels.
Updated results on the safety profile and efficacy of this anti-angiogenic and anti-PD-1 combination therapy including overall response rate as per RECIST, irRC and mRECIST criteria, disease control rate will be presented at the meeting.
Result
The first patient from the MPM cohort was enrolled in July 2017 and the last one in April 2019. Thirty-one eligible MPM patients have been evaluable at the data cut off onJuly 2019, one of them had been enrolled since the dose-escalation part at dose level of 200mg. The age at inclusion was 68 (ranging from 38 to 85), 68% of the patients having an ECOG of 1 and 58% of the histological type was epithelioid. The most frequent adverse events (grades 1, 2 and 3) related to any of the combination drugs were liver enzymes increase, fatigue, decreased appetite, nausea, diarrhea and hypothyroidism. There were two cases of myocarditis, one of grade 3 (pembrolizumab related) and one of grade 5(pembrolizumab and nintedanib related). At the time of the data analysis the efficacy data shows six partial responses (overall response rate of 21%) and seventeen stable disease (disease control rate at 61%.).
Conclusion
The combination of Nintedanib with Pembrolizumab shows promising activity in relapsed MPM patients .The toxicity profile appear consistent with previous reports of anti-angiogenic agents and immunotherapy combination.

MA07.05 - Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor (ICPi) Re-Challenge: Outcomes Analysis in a French National Cohort of Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) Patients (Now Available) (ID 1903)
13:30 - 15:00 | Author(s): Valérie Gounant
- Abstract
- Presentation
Background
Anti-PD1/PDL1 deeply changed the NSCLC therapeutic algorithm in the past few years. Unfortunately, a majority of patients experiences disease progression. ICPis re-challenge could be an attractive option but no data supporting this strategy are available. Here we report outcomes of a large cohort of NSCLC patients treated with anti-PD1/PDL1 re-challenge.
Method
We retrospectively collected data about 144 advanced NSCLC patients (diagnosis between 2010 and 2018) from 26 French centers. Patients were re-challenged with ICPis after at least 12 weeks of discontinuation for toxicity, disease progression or clinical decision. Progression Free Survival (PFS) and Overall Survival (OS) were calculated from the start of first or second ICPi to disease progression (PFS1;PFSR) and death or last follow-up (OS1;OS2) respectively.
Result
Median age was 63 year [39 –83], most of patients were male (67%), smokers (87%), adenocarcinomas (62%) and stage IV at diagnosis (66%). Most of patients received the first ICPi round in first or second line (66%) and the second ICPi round in third line or later (79%). In both settings patients received preferentially an anti-PD1 (87%) and no differences were detected regarding brain metastasis or ECOG PS (P = 1.10-1 and P = 1.10-1 respectively). The Best Response during the re-challenge was not associated to that one achieved to the first ICPi (P = 1.10-1). The median PFS1 and PFSR were 13 months [95% CI 10-16.5] and 4.4 months [95% CI 3-6.5] respectively. PFSR was longer in patients discontinued because of clinical decision (6.5 months [95% CI 2.5-11.9]) or toxicity (5.8 months [95%CI 3.5-18]) compared to disease progression (2.9 months [95% CI 2.0-4.4]) (P = 2.10-2) and in those not receiving chemotherapy between the two ICPis (5.8 months [95%CI 4.1-10.5]) compared to those who did (3.0 months [95% CI 2.0-4.4])(P = 2.10-3). Median OS1 was 3.3 years [95% CI 2.9-3.9] without differences according to the discontinuation reason (P =2.10-1). Median OS2 was 1.5 y [95%CI 1.0-2.1] and was longer in patients discontinuing the first ICPi due to toxicity (2.1y [95%CI 1.4-NR]) compared to disease progression (1.0y [95%CI 0.4-1.5]) or clinical decision (1.5y [95%CI 0.4-NR]) (P = 3.10-2). Neither OS1 nor OS2 were affected by treatments received between the two ICPis (P = 3.10-1 and P = 1.10-1 respectively).
Conclusion
ICPis re-challenge might be a useful option mainly in patients discontinuing the first ICPi because of toxicity or clinical decision and in those able to keep a treatment-free period between the two ICPis.
