Abstract 3469
Background
Ipi 10 mg/kg (every 3 weeks for 4 doses) combined with a 3 + 3 dose-escalation design of RT at week 4 (W4) seemed to have antitumor activity in the 19 pts treated in the phase I study Mel-Ipi-Rx from August 2011 to July 2015 (ESMO 2016, 1117P). This ancillary study assesses the impact of ipi + RT on SIAR and TGR variation (ΔTGR) of irradiated (TGRirr) and non-irradiated (TGRnon-irr) lesions.
Methods
Blood samples were collected at baseline (W0), W4 (before 2nd ipi injection) and W6 (after ipi + RT) to phenotype T cells. TGR, defined as an increase in tumor volume during 1 month, was computed for TGRirr, and TGRnon-irr in 2 periods: (i) Reference-TGR (REF-TGR) on W0, and (ii) Experimental-TGR (EXP-TGR) between W0 and 1st evaluation. The ΔTGR between REF-TGR and EXP-TGR was used to assess the treatment (TRT) effect. A negative value reflected a slowdown of disease progression (DP).
Results
Ipi alone was associated with increased effector T cells (TEM), Treg and ICOS+ CD4+ T cells at W4. At W6, only TEM and ICOS+ CD4+ T cells significantly increased, suggesting that RT + ipi could increase activated memory CD4+ T cells rather than Treg cells. CD8+ T cells did not increase at W4 while central memory T cells (TCM) and terminally differentiated (TEMRA) increased between W4 and W6, suggesting that RT + ipi could boost these CD8+ T populations. Increased CD8 from W0 to W4 was significantly correlated to progession-free survival (PFS) (p = 0.0163). Increased CD8 tended to be positively correlated to overall survival (OS) from W0 to W6 (p = 0.0786). Interestingly, a higher effect of RT + ipi seemed to be associated with a deeper ΔTGRnon-irr than ΔTGRirr, although insignificant. The EXP-TGRnon-irr was significantly associated with DP.
Conclusions
RT + ipi was associated with increased CD4+ and CD8+ ICOS+ T cells. Increased CD8+ was significantly associated with PFS. Thus, immune biomarkers may be useful for early response evaluation. The ΔTGRnon-irr lesions could be more important than ΔTGRirr lesions in responding pts and may be related to an abscopal effect. Updated PFS and OS will be presented.
