Abstract 1077P

Background

Immunotherapy (IO) and targeted therapy (TT) have revolutionized the treatment of pts with MBM, but clinical data on their efficacy are scarce. This analysis summarizes available RWE on the systemic treatment outcomes for pts with MBM.

Methods

An SLR of RWE for any systemic treatment in pts with MBM was conducted by searching Embase® and MEDLINE® databases from inception to February 23, 2020, and ASCO, AACR, ESMO, SMR, and EANO proceedings for 2018–2020. Records were screened by 2 investigators according to PICOS criteria. Records that reported OS outcomes on individual IO or TT therapies (with/without stereotactic radiosurgery [SRS]) were included in the MA. Kaplan–Meier (KM) curves for overall survival (OS) were digitized and converted to pseudo-individual pt data using the Guyot algorithm. MAs were performed by pooling KM curves and naive pooling of weighted median OS (mOS). For single-intervention studies, only reported values were used.

Results

A total of 57 publications (pertaining to 56 studies) were included for evidence synthesis. A total of 21 KM curves on 6 interventions and 1371 pts were digitized. mOS from pooled KM curves was numerically longer for nivolumab plus ipilimumab (NIVO + IPI; 20.6 mo; 95% CI, 17.0–22.9) versus other interventions (mOS ranging from 7.1–13.9 mo; table). Similar results were noted with the naive pooling method. Reporting on prior therapies, pt characteristics, and neurological symptoms was inconsistent.

Conclusions

RWE for MBM is scarce and heterogeneous; further research is warranted on optimal treatment for these pts. This SLR and MA suggest a clinical advantage with NIVO + IPI versus other systemic agents in pts with MBM. However, data interpretation is limited by evidence heterogeneity, inconsistent reporting, and small sample sizes. More consistent reporting of pt characteristics and outcomes is needed.
