Abstract 2239

Background

bTMB assays determine TMB using a noninvasive blood test. B-F1RST (ITT, n = 152) is the first prospective trial to evaluate bTMB as a biomarker to predict benefit of 1L atezo monotherapy in advanced NSCLC. bTMB high (score of ≥ 16; ≥ 14.5 mut/Mb) predicted better ORR with atezo vs bTMB low (< 16; 28.6% vs 4.4%) in the biomarker evaluable population (BEP) with ≥ 6 mo follow up in the primary analysis. Numerical benefit for bTMB high was seen in median (m)PFS and mOS. Here we report the B-F1RST final analysis.

Methods

Eligibility criteria included untreated stage IIIB-IVB NSCLC and ECOG PS 0/1. Pts received atezo 1200 mg IV q3w until PD, intolerance or loss of benefit. Co-primary endpoints were investigator assessed ORR for efficacy (ITT) and PFS for biomarker analysis (BEP) at a prespecified bTMB cutoff of 16 for high (≥ 16) vs low (< 16). PFS and OS, a secondary endpoint, were further evaluated at various bTMB cutoffs. Serum C-reactive protein (CRP), an inflammation marker in cancer, was evaluated as a surrogate biomarker, ratio of CRP at C3D1 to CRP at screening, to predict PFS and OS.

Results

With ≥ 18 mo follow up (data cutoff, 14 May 2019) in ITT pts, ORR was 17% (95% CI: 12, 24), mPFS was 4.1 mo (95% CI: 2.8, 4.9) and mOS was 14.8 mo (95% CI: 12.7, 21.3). In bTMB ≥ 16 vs < 16, mPFS was 5.0 vs 3.5 mo and mOS was 23.9 vs 13.4 mo (Table). For CRP ratio < 0.5 vs ≥ 0.5, mPFS was 14.1 vs 4.6 mo (HR, 0.43 [90% CI: 0.24, 0.77]), and mOS was NE vs 15.9 mo (HR, 0.30 [90% CI: 0.13, 0.72]). 14% of pts had treatment-related (TR) serious AEs, and 20% had Gr 3-4 TRAEs. 18% of pts had AEs that led to discontinuation.Table:

Conclusions

B-F1RST shows the clinical utility of bTMB as a predictive biomarker for pts receiving 1L atezo monotherapy. The final analysis confirmed that pts with bTMB ≥ 16 had numerical benefit for PFS and OS. Decrease in serum CRP over 6 wk predicted PFS and OS benefit. No new safety signals were seen.
