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)

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.

P1.01-120 - Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors Versus Second Line Chemotherapy for Patients with Lung Cancer Refractory to First Line Chemotherapy (Now Available) (ID 2662)
09:45 - 18:00 | Author(s): Remi Veillon
- Abstract
Background
Anti Programmed Death-ligand (PD1/PD-L1) directed immune-checkpoint-inhibitors (ICI) are widely used to treat patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who progress after first line chemotherapy. The best strategy after early progression under first line has not been specifically studied
Method
We conducted a multicenter, retrospective study including all consecutive NSCLC patients progressing within the first 3 months following introduction of first-line chemotherapy and being treated with second line ICI monotherapy or chemotherapy between March 2010 and November 2017. We analysed the clinicopathological data and outcome under second line chemotherapy vs. second line ICI: progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and objective response rate (ORR).
Result
We identified 176 patients with refractory disease, 99 who received subsequent immunotherapy and 77 undergoing chemotherapy. The 2 populations were comparable regarding the main prognostic criteria, median age was 60, main histology was adenocarcimoma (68,2%). Compared to chemotherapy, ICI treated patients had a superior OS (logrank test, p=0.03) (Median [95% CI] OS 4.6 [2.8-6.7] versus 4.2 months [3.4-5.9] and a non-significant improvement in ORR (17.2% and 7.9%, respectively, p = 0.072). PFS was not significantly different (1.9 [1.8-2.1] versus 1.6 months [1.4- ; 2.0] (p=0.125). Poor performance status (ECOG PS≥2) and a higher number of metastatic sites (≥3) were associated with poorer prognosis. KRAS-mutated patients did not seem to benefit more from ICI than chemotherapy.
