Abstract 2368
Background
Depth of response (DepOR; max % reduction from baseline in sum of target lesion diameters), has shown prognostic value for long-term survival in multiple malignancies. Among aRCC patients (pts) in CheckMate 214, objective response and complete response rates were higher and more durable, and overall survival (OS) was greater (intention-to-treat: HR 0.71, P = 0.0003; intermediate/poor-risk pts: HR 0.66, P < 0.0001), for nivolumab + ipilimumab (N+I) vs sunitinib (S) at 30-mo min follow-up. This exploratory analysis evaluated the relationship between DepOR and OS in CheckMate 214 to determine a potential DepOR threshold predictive of long-term OS with N+I.
Methods
Pts with previously untreated aRCC were randomized 1:1 to N+I (3 mg/kg + 1 mg/kg IV) Q3W for 4 doses, followed by N (3 mg/kg IV) Q2W, or S 50 mg/day orally for 4 wk (6-wk cycles). An exploratory analysis of OS by DepOR quartiles was conducted (Q0, no reduction; Q1, >0–≤25%; Q2, >25–≤50%; Q3, >50–≤75%; Q4, >75–≤100%).
Results
Of 550 and 546 pts randomized to N+I or S, 479 and 459, respectively, had postbaseline target lesion measurements. Overall, greater DepOR was associated with improved OS (Table). Pts on N+I with >50–≤75% (Q3) tumor reduction had similar OS as those with >75% (Q4) reduction, whereas only Q4 pts achieved comparable OS with S (203/550 [37%] N+I vs 46/546 [8%] S randomized pts). Receiver operating characteristic analysis supported a > 50% DepOR threshold for greatest OS benefit with N+I. Additional analyses of the relationship between DepOR and outcomes across arms will be presented.Table:

DepOR | N+I N = 479 | S N = 459 | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
n (%) | Median OS, mo (95% CI) | OS probability vs Q0, HR (95% CI) | n (%) | Median OS, mo (95% CI) | OS probability vs Q0, HR (95% CI) | |
Q0a | 105 (22) | 26.9 (18.6–NE) | – | 94 (20) | 12.4 (9.5–15.0) | – |
Q1 | 107 (22) | NR (29.9–NE) | 0.63 (0.43–0.93)b | 137 (30) | 31.9 (22.1–37.8) | 0.48 (0.35–0.67)b |
Q2 | 64 (13) | NR (26.1–NE) | 0.65 (0.42–1.01)b | 109 (24) | NR (NE) | 0.21 (0.14–0.32)b |
Q3 | 96 (20) | NR (NE) | 0.22 (0.13–0.38)b | 73 (16) | NR (NE) | 0.18 (0.11–0.29)b |
Q4 | 107 (22) | NR (NE) | 0.18 (0.11–0.32)b | 46 (10) | NR (NE) | 0.08 (0.03–0.17)b |
Among Q0 pts, median OS was longer and OS probabilities were notably higher with N+I vs S.
bP < 0.0001 when compared with Q0 in the same arm. CI, confidence interval; HR, hazard ratio; NE, not estimable; NR, not reached.
Conclusions
The relationships between DepOR and OS are distinct for N+I vs S, with a greater percentage of N+I pts having prolonged OS. Similar notable OS benefits in N+I DepOR Q3 and Q4 suggest that a DepOR threshold >50% may be a useful indicator of potential for long-term survival with N+I in aRCC pts. Prospective analyses to determine clinical applications are needed.
