MA25.01 - Pembrolizumab Plus Chemotherapy for Advanced NSCLC Without Tumor PD-L1 Expression: Pooled Analysis of KN021G, KN189 and KN407 (Now Available) (ID 1399)
14:30 - 16:00 | Author(s): Delvys Rodriguez Abreu
- Abstract
- Presentation
Background
Randomized studies have demonstrated that pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy improves OS, PFS, and ORR compared with chemotherapy alone in patients with advanced NSCLC regardless of tumor PD-L1 expression level. We present a post hoc pooled analysis of pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy versus chemotherapy alone in patients with advanced NSCLC and no PD-L1 expression (ie, TPS <1%), representing an area of unmet need.
Patients enrolled in KEYNOTE-021 cohort G (nonsquamous; NCT02039674), KEYNOTE-189 (nonsquamous; NCT02578680), and KEYNOTE-407 (squamous; NCT02775435) were included. Patients with nonsquamous NSCLC were randomized to pemetrexed-platinum with or without pembrolizumab; those with squamous NSCLC were randomized to carboplatin-paclitaxel/nab-paclitaxel with or without pembrolizumab. OS, PFS, and ORR were evaluated for the pooled intent-to-treat population. Response was assessed per RECIST v1.1 by blinded independent central review. Across studies, PD-L1 expression was assessed centrally using PD-L1 IHC 22C3 pharmDx assay (Agilent Technologies, Carpinteria, CA). Analyses were descriptive.
Result
Of 1298 patients enrolled across the 3 trials, 428 (33%) had PD-L1 TPS <1% (pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy, n=243; chemotherapy alone, n=185) and were included in this analysis. 52% had nonsquamous histology, 63% had ECOG PS of 1. Median (range) follow-up at data cutoff was 10.2 (0.1‒34.9) months. OS, PFS, and ORR were improved with pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy versus chemotherapy alone (Table). Grade ≥3 AEs (all-cause) occurred in 68% of patients receiving pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy versus 72% receiving chemotherapy alone. Immune-mediated AEs and infusion reactions occurred in 26% who received pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy versus 12% who received chemotherapy alone.

Our results highlight the clinically meaningful efficacy benefit and acceptable safety profile of pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy versus chemotherapy alone in patients with advanced NSCLC and no PD-L1 expression. Benefit was consistent with that observed in the overall study populations, suggesting pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy should be considered standard-of-care first-line therapy for all patients with NSCLC, irrespective of PD-L1 expression.

OA14.02 - IMpower131: Final OS Results of Carboplatin + Nab-Paclitaxel ± Atezolizumab in Advanced Squamous NSCLC (ID 1915)
11:30 - 13:00 | Author(s): Delvys Rodriguez Abreu
- Abstract
Background
IMpower131 (NCT02367794) is a randomised Phase III trial of atezolizumab + chemotherapy vs chemotherapy alone as first-line therapy in Stage IV squamous NSCLC. Here we report the final OS results (Arm B vs Arm C).
Method
Enrolled patients were randomised 1:1:1 to Arm A (atezolizumab 1200 mg q3w + carboplatin AUC 6 q3w + paclitaxel 200 mg/m2 q3w), Arm B (atezolizumab + carboplatin + nab-paclitaxel 100 mg/m2 qw) or Arm C (carboplatin + nab-paclitaxel) for 4 or 6 cycles followed by atezolizumab maintenance therapy (Arms A and B) until loss of clinical benefit or progressive disease. Coprimary endpoints were investigator-assessed PFS and OS in the ITT population. Data cutoff: October 3, 2018.
Result
1021 patients were enrolled, with 343 in Arm B and 340 in Arm C. Median age was 65 years (range, 23-83 [Arm B] and 38-86 [Arm C]) and ≈80% of patients were male. The proportion of patients with high (14% vs 13%), positive (39% vs 37%) or negative (47% vs 50%) PD-L1 expression was similar between arms. Median OS in the ITT population was 14.2 months in Arm B vs 13.5 months in Arm C (HR, 0.88 [95% CI: 0.73, 1.05]; P = 0.158; Table), not crossing the boundary for statistical significance. In the PD-L1–high subgroup, median OS was 23.4 vs 10.2 months, respectively (HR, 0.48 [95% CI: 0.29, 0.81]; not formally tested). Treatment-related Grade 3-4 AEs and treatment-related SAEs occurred in 68.0% and 21.0% (Arm B) and 57.5% and 10.5% (Arm C) of patients; no new safety signals were identified, consistent with previous analyses.
Conclusion
Final OS in Arm B vs C did not cross the boundary for statistical significance. Clinically meaningful OS improvement was observed in the PD-L1–high subgroup, despite not being formally tested. No new or unexpected safety signals were reported.
