Abstract 2170
Background
Little is known about the associations between treatment outcome for immune checkpoint inhibitors and metastatic sites in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Furthermore, these previous studies included patients irrespective of their PD-L1 status and treatment lines. Therefore, we conducted a multicentered retrospective study to investigate the predictive factors of metastatic sites as first-line pembrolizumab efficacy in patients with PD-L1 tumor proportion score (TPS) ≥50% advanced NSCLC.
Methods
We retrospectively analyzed patients with advanced NSCLC and PD-L1 TPS ≥ 50% who received pembrolizumab as the first-line therapy at 11 institutions between February 2017 and April 2018. Clinical data including metastatic sites at the time of administering pembrolizumab treatment were collected. Treatment outcome of pembrolizumab was assessed according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors, version 1.1.
Results
In total, 213 patients were included in the study. The median age was 71 years (range 39-91). Of the 213 patients, 176 (83%) were men, 172 (81%) had Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status (ECOG PS) 0-1. The major metastatic sites were thoracic lymph nodes metastasis (77%), intrapulmonary metastasis (31%), bone metastasis (28%), and malignant pleural effusion (26%). In multivariate analysis, poor PS (hazard ratio: 1.82, 95.0% confidence interval: 1.15–2.30; P = 0.046) and malignant pleural effusion (hazard ratio: 1.52, 95.0% confidence interval: 1.01–2.30; P = 0.046) was identified as an independent predictor of shorter progression free survival in patients treated with pembrolizumab.
Conclusions
In patients with advanced NSCLC and PD-L1 TPS ≥50% who received first-line pembrolizumab, poor PS and malignant pleural effusion are independent predictors of pembrolizumab efficacy.
