Abstract 5068
Background
Pembrolizumab significantly improves progression-free survival (PFS) (median 10.3 months) and overall survival (OS) (median 30.0 months) in selected patients with previously untreated advanced non–small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with a PD-L1 tumor proportion score (TPS) ≥ 50% and without EGFR/ALK aberrations. Data in real life conditions are missing.
Methods
This was a cross-sectional, retrospective study of untreated advanced NSCLC patients with TPS ≥ 50% and without EGFR/ALK aberrations, from 9 French hospitals in Brittany area. The study included 115 patients and analysis focused on 108 patients. At index, the main characteristics of our cohort were: median age [range] 66.7 [37 to 87] years, 71 % male, 23.1 % performans status (P.S) 2, 88.8 % current or former smokers. 87.1 % had Stage IV at diagnosis and 9.2 % had untreated brain metastasis. 23.4% had mutations (KRAS, MET, BRAF and ROS 1). We used Kaplan-Meier analysis for PFS and described tolerability.
Results
With a median follow-up of 7.1 months, median PFS was 10.1 months (95% confidence interval [CI], 8.8 to 11.4), (range, and 0.6 to 18.5 months). The objective response rate was 58,2% (complete response: 2.7 % and partial response: 55.5 %). Disease control rate was 72.1%. The estimated rate of OS at 6 months was 86.6 %. Treatment-related adverse events of grade 3 (AE) occurred in 7.4% of patients. There was no grade 4 or 5 AE and mean time between first administration of pembrolizumab and clinico-biological AE was 13.9 (± 9.7) weeks. Our data are immature to appreciate OS.
Conclusions
In a real life cohort of patients (PS 2, untreated brain metastasis), with advanced NSCLC and PD-L1 expression on at least 50% of tumor cells, pembrolizumab demonstrates similar PFS with KEYNOTE-024 phase III trial.
