Abstract 543P
Background
Interstitial pneumonia (IP) is the common and poor prognostic comorbidities in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and is a known risk factor for immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI)-induced pneumonitis. The aim of this study is to assess the incidence, severity and risk factors for pneumonitis induced by immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) monotherapy in NSCLC patients with idiopathic IP.
Methods
This is a multicenter, retrospective study in patients with (1) advanced or recurrent NSCLC, (2) comorbid idiopathic IP, and (3) receiving ICI monotherapy as second-line or later therapy. All CTs at baseline and at the onset of pneumonitis were centrally adjudicated by a board-certified radiologist. We performed logistic regression analysis to identify risk factors for pneumonitis using clinical characteristics, laboratory data and radiological findings as variables.
Results
Sixty-five patients were analyzed, with a median age of 71 years, and 98.5% had a smoking history. Sixty percent received nivolumab, 21.5% received atezolizumab and 18.5% received pembrolizumab. The median cycle of ICI was 4 cycles. Radiological patterns of IP were UIP (11%), probable UIP (15%), indeterminate for UIP (51%), alternative (23%), respectively, with 23% having honeycomb lung and a median %FVC of 95%. The incidence of pneumonitis was 23.1% for all grade and 13.9% for ≥grade3. We could not identify any significant risk factors for ICI-induced pneumonitis in the multivariate logistic regression analysis. There was no difference in the incidence and severity of ICI-induced pneumonitis when comparing patients with and without honeycomb lung, or with FVC ≥80% and <80%.
Conclusions
There was no difference in the risk of ICI-induced pneumonitis according to specific findings, including the radiological pattern of comorbid IP, the presence of honeycomb lung, and pulmonary function tests. ICIs should be carefully administrated in NSCLC with any types of comorbid IP.
