Abstract 1481P
Background
ICIs have transformed the treatment of advanced NSCLC patients, no real-world data are available about the immune-related adverse events (irAEs). This retrospective study aimed to assess the safety and effectiveness of PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and to analyze the association between singular irAEs and effectiveness.
Methods
This was a retrospective study of the clinical data of patients with NSCLC treated with PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors as 1a or 2a lines from Marzo 2015 to Marzo 2022 at Hospital Universitario Regional de Málaga. We evaluated association of irAE with efficacy, response and overall survival. Kaplan-Meier and Cox proportional hazard analyses were performed.
Results
A total of 510 patients were included in this analysis. Any grade IrAEs were seen in 307 (60%) patients. Of these (Table), 135 (43,9%) patients had grade 1 toxicities, most commonly cutaneous (96), colitis (54), rheumatologic (46) and hepatitis (42). 112 (36,4%) patients had grade 2 toxicities pneumonitis (47), cutaneous (29), colitis (28). 53 (17,2%) patients had grade 3 toxicities: hepatitis (15), pneumonitis (13), cutaneous (10). 8 (2,6 %) patients had grade 4 toxicities hepatitis (5), pneumonitis (2), DRESS syndrome (1). For patients assessed for efficacy, objective response rate (ORR) to ICI was higher in patients with irAEs [46% vs 14%] p=0,001. In fact, the presence of any irAEs had a significantly improved median OS compared to those without irAEs (19,3 months vs 6,5 p = 0.0001) (Median OS in G1-2 20 months and G 3-4 16,2 months had significally higher OS vs non irAEs 6,1 months; p=0,0001). Singular toxicities that predict greater OS >30 months were (Hepatitis G4, endocrine G1 and cutaneous G2); point out toxicities with deleterious effects (colitis G3 and pneumonitis G4). Multivariable analysis demonstrated that the development of any irAEs was related to a significantly improved OS (HR 0.47, 95% 0.26-0.68, p = 0.0001).

Conclusions
This study confirms the feasibility and the safety of ICIs in a large, real-world cohort of patients with NSCLC. The development of irAEs in NSCLC patients treated with immunotherapy may predict better treatment efficacy and overall survival.
