Abstract 70P
Background
NSCLC treatment has evolved after approval of the 1st immunotherapy agent (IO) in 2015. The real-world LIST study of nivolumab for advanced NSCLC aims to describe patient/treatment characteristics, effectiveness, safety and rechallenge outcomes.
Methods
LIST is an ongoing longitudinal, prospective, observational study in patients (pts) with advanced NSCLC receiving nivolumab after one prior chemotherapy-based treatment alone or in combination with IO. Patient cohorts were: Cohort 1, IO-naïve patients; Cohort 2, IO-experienced patients who discontinued for non-IO-toxicity reasons; Cohort 3, IO-experienced patients who discontinued due to IO-toxicity. Descriptive interim analyses (follow-up ≥6 months) are presented.
Results
428 pts were enrolled between Sept 2020 and May 2022 at 99 centres – 278, 128 and 22 pts in cohorts 1, 2 and 3. Baseline patient characteristics were representative of advanced NSCLC: median age 65–70 years, male sex >65%, current/former smoker 22–27%/65–73%, non-squamous histology 60–75%. 41%/ 71%/ 76% of pts in cohorts 1/2/3 had PD-L1 expression (≥1%). At 6 months, respective overall survival (OS) rates were 70.0% [95% confidence interval 64.2–75.1%]/ 61.1% [51.6–69.3%]/ 61.2% [37.1–78.4%] and progression-free survival (PFS) were 33.4% [27.6–39.2%]/ 25.1% [17.2–33.8%]/ 51.0% [28.1–70.0%]. Current/former smokers and pts with tumour PD-L1 expression seem to have improved outcomes (table). All adverse events (AEs) occurred in 86%/ 78%/ 73% of pts and treatment-related grade 3/4 AEs in 11%/ 5%/ 18%, in cohorts 1/ 2/ 3. Table: 70P

Conclusions
LIST interim results show nivolumab for IO-naïve pts in clinical practice has similar activity and safety as in the registrational CheckMate 017/057 trials. It shows encouraging results of rechallenge with nivolumab in pts with previous IO discontinuation, including for IO-toxicity.
