Abstract

Background

The phase III CheckMate 816 study demonstrated statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvements in event-free survival (EFS) and pathologic complete response (pCR) with neoadjuvant N + C vs C in patients (pts) with resectable NSCLC. Here, we report 3-y efficacy, safety, and exploratory biomarker analyses from CheckMate 816.

Methods

Adults with stage IB (tumors ≥4 cm)–IIIA (per AJCC 7th ed) resectable NSCLC, ECOG PS ≤ 1, and no known EGFR/ALK alterations were randomized to N 360 mg + C Q3W or C alone Q3W for 3 cycles followed by surgery. Primary endpoints were EFS and pCR, both per blinded independent review. Exploratory analyses included EFS by surgical approach and extent/completeness of resection, and EFS and pCR by a 4-gene (CD8A, CD274, STAT-1, LAG-3) inflammatory signature score derived from RNA sequencing of baseline (BL) tumor samples.

Results

At a median follow-up of 41.4 mo (database lock, Oct 14, 2022), continued EFS benefit was observed with N + C vs C (HR, 0.68; 95% CI, 0.49–0.93); 3-y EFS rates were 57% and 43%, respectively. N + C improved EFS vs C in pts who had surgery, regardless of surgical approach or extent of resection, and in pts with R0 resection (table). Recurrence occurred in 28% and 42% of pts who had surgery in the N + C (n = 149) and C arms (n = 135), respectively. In the N + C arm, BL 4-gene inflammatory signature scores were numerically higher in pts with pCR vs pts without, and EFS was improved in pts with high vs low scores (data to be presented). Grade 3–4 treatment-related and surgery-related adverse events occurred in 36% and 11% of pts in the N + C arm, respectively, vs 38% and 15% in the C arm.

Conclusions

Neoadjuvant N + C continues to provide long-term clinical benefit vs C in pts with resectable NSCLC, regardless of surgical approach or extent of resection. Exploratory analyses in pts treated with N + C suggested that high BL tumor inflammation may be associated with improved EFS and pCR.

Abstract

Background

EMPOWER-Lung 3, a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase III trial, examined cemiplimab (anti-PD-1) plus chemotherapy (chemo) in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) without EGFR, ALK or ROS1 aberrations, with either squamous or non-squamous histology and any level of PD-L1 expression. Previously we reported that, after 16.4 months follow-up, cemiplimab + chemo improved median overall survival (OS) over chemo alone (21.9 vs 13.0 months, HR = 0.71, 0.53–0.93). Here, we report longer-term data after 28.4 months follow-up.

Methods

Patients were randomized 2:1 to receive 4 cycles of platinum-doublet chemo, with 350 mg cemiplimab (n = 312) or placebo (n = 154) every 3 weeks for up to 108 weeks. The primary endpoint was OS; secondary endpoints included progression-free survival (PFS) and objective response rates (ORR).

Results

After a median of 28.4 months follow-up, cemiplimab + chemo continued to show significantly improved OS and PFS vs chemo alone. Median OS was 21.1 months for cemiplimab + chemo vs 12.9 months for chemo alone (HR = 0.65, 0.51–0.82, p = 0.0003). Median PFS was 8.2 months for cemiplimab + chemo vs 5.5 months for chemo alone (HR = 0.55, 0.44–0.68, p < 0.0001). ORRs were 43.6% vs 22.1%, with a duration of response of 16.4 and 7.3 months, respectively. Safety profiles for longer-term use of cemiplimab + chemo were generally consistent with previously reported data; Grade ≥3 treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) occurred in 48.7% of patients in cemiplimab + chemo and 32.7% in chemotherapy alone.

Conclusions

At 28.4 months of follow-up, the EMPOWER-3 Lung trial continues to show an improvement in benefit of cemiplimab in combination with chemo, compared to chemo alone, for patients with advanced squamous and non-squamous NSCLC, regardless of PD-L1 expression level and without EGFR, ALK or ROS1 aberrations.

Abstract

Background

Despite treatment (tx) with anti–PD-L1/PD-1 (αPD-(L)1) and platinum-based chemo, mNSCLC often progresses, suggesting a need for new second/third-line tx options. The TKI cabo may enhance αPD-(L)1 efficacy by promoting an immune-permissive environment. CONTACT-01 is a multicentre, randomised, open-label Ph3 study of atezo (anti–PD-L1) + cabo vs doc in pts with mNSCLC previously treated with αPD-(L)1 + chemo.

Methods

Eligible pts had ECOG PS 0-1, histologically or cytologically confirmed mNSCLC with progression after αPD-(L)1 + chemo (concurrent or sequential; regardless of response to prior αPD-(L)1) and any known PD-L1 status (or available tissue for central testing). Pts were randomised 1:1 to atezo 1200 mg IV q3w + cabo 40 mg PO qd or doc 75 mg/m2 IV q3w. Stratification factors were sq vs nsq histology and sequence of prior NSCLC regimens. The primary EP was OS (ITT). Key secondary EPs were PFS, ORR, DOR and safety.

Results

Of 366 pts assigned to either atezo + cabo (n = 186) or doc (n = 180), 61% and 71% had ECOG PS 1, and 74% and 76% had nsq histology, respectively; median age was 64 and 66 y. At data cutoff 28 Sep 2022, minimum follow-up was 10.9 mo. No statistically significant OS benefit was seen with atezo + cabo vs doc (table). Median tx duration was 4.2 mo (range, 0–20; atezo), 3.9 mo (0–21; cabo) and 2.1 mo (0–19; doc). All-cause AEs occurred in 98% (G3-4, 48%) of safety-evaluable pts in the atezo + cabo arm and 94% (G3-4, 45%) in the doc arm and led to discontinuation in 17% and 14% of pts, respectively. G3-4 AEs of special interest for atezo were seen in 15% and 4% (G5 in 1% and 0%) and for cabo in 14% and 2% (G5 in 2% and 2%), respectively. G5 tx-related AEs occurred in 4 pts (2%) in the atezo + cabo arm and 1 pt (<1%) in the doc arm.

Abstract

Background

Most patients with SCLC relapse within 1 year of receiving first-line (1L) platinum therapy; second-line treatment options are limited. We report the results of RESILIENT, a randomized, open-label phase III trial of liposomal irinotecan versus topotecan in patients with SCLC that had progressed on or after 1L platinum-based therapy.

Methods

Eligible patients with histologically or cytologically confirmed SCLC and radiologically confirmed disease progression despite 1L platinum-based chemotherapy were randomized (1:1) to receive intravenous liposomal irinotecan (70 mg/m2, every 2 weeks in a 6-week cycle) or topotecan (1.5 mg/m2/day for 5 days, every 3 weeks in a 6-week cycle). The primary endpoint of overall survival (OS) was evaluated by log-rank test (stratified by region and platinum sensitivity) with 1-sided significance of 0.023. Secondary endpoints included progression-free survival (PFS) and objective response rate (ORR) per blinded independent central review (BICR).

Results

Overall, 461 patients (median [range] age, 62.0 [28.0–82.0] years; 67.9% men; 74.2% ECOG performance status 1) were randomized to receive liposomal irinotecan (n = 229) or topotecan (n = 232); median follow-up was 18.4 months. Median OS and PFS were 7.9 months and 4.0 months, respectively, with liposomal irinotecan versus 8.3 months and 3.3 months with topotecan. Hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for death, and for disease progression or death, are shown in the table together with ORR and grade >3 treatment-related treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) occurring in >10% of either treatment group.

Conclusions

The primary endpoint of OS for was not met for liposomal irinotecan versus topotecan; however, a doubling of ORR was observed. The safety profile of liposomal irinotecan was consistent with its known safety profile and no new safety concerns emerged.
