Abstract 1202
Background
Nivolumab can cause immune-related adverse events requiring caution, including ILD.
Methods
Clinical and chest imaging findings for each ILD case reported by nivolumab-treated patients with NSCLC were assessed by the ILD Expert Central Review Committee. ILD prognosis was evaluated by radiographic findings, including the presence/absence of peritumoral infiltration (PTI), a characteristic of nivolumab-induced ILD. Poor prognostic factors were identified by multivariate Cox regression analysis.
Results
Of patients reported by physicians from December 2015 to March 2016, 325 nivolumab-treated patients with NSCLC assessed for ILD, 238 patients had nivolumab-induced ILD. The main radiographic patterns of ILD were cryptogenic organizing pneumonia/chronic eosinophilic pneumonia-like (127/238 patients, 53.4%), faint infiltration pattern/acute hypersensitivity pneumonia-like (48/238 patients, 20.2%), diffuse alveolar damage (DAD) (26/238 patients, 10.9%), and nonspecific interstitial pneumonia-like (fibrosing organizing pneumonia) (15/238 patients, 6.3%). The ILD mortality rate was 65.4% in patients with DAD pattern and 4.2% to 13.6% in patients with the other patterns. The ILD mortality rate was 11.1% in the 27 patients with PTI and 16.3% in the 209 patients without PTI. The antitumor response was as follows: partial response: 34.0%; stable disease: 33.6%; and progressive disease: 21.4% patients. In 5 of the 37 patients who died due to ILD, the radiographic pattern changed to DAD pattern from other patterns at onset. Multivariate Cox regression analysis identified 5 factors for poor prognosis of ILD: DAD pattern; ≤60 days from start of nivolumab treatment to onset of ILD; pleural effusion present before treatment; abnormal opacities distributed contralateral or bilateral to the tumor; and abnormal change in C-reactive protein level.
Conclusions
Patients with NSCLC with these factors for poor prognosis of nivolumab-induced ILD should be monitored for ILD during nivolumab treatment.
