Abstract 1082MO

Background

5-year outcomes of patients (pts) with a CR to NIVO+IPI or NIVO alone and factors associated with continued CR or relapse are unknown. The current pooled analysis addresses these key questions, including a 12-mo CR landmark analysis used to decrease the time guarantee bias.

Methods

In this post hoc analysis, 5-yr data were pooled from the phase III CheckMate 066 and 067 studies and the phase II CheckMate 069 study of pts with treatment-naive, advanced melanoma. Analyzed pts received either the approved regimen of NIVO+IPI followed by NIVO monotherapy or NIVO monotherapy. Characteristics and outcomes of pts with a CR (by RECIST) were investigated, including 12-mo landmark survival analyses to determine the likelihood of being alive at 5-y among pts in CR by 12 mo (to mitigate the time guarantee bias).

Results

Minimum follow-up was 60 mo since randomization of the last pt in each study; pooled median mo of follow-up was 63 for NIVO+IPI (n=409) and 64 for NIVO (n=526). CRs were demonstrated in 96 (23%) NIVO+IPI pts and 102 (19%) NIVO pts; of CR pts alive at 5 yrs, 75/79 (95%) and 85/91 (93%) had not received subsequent systemic therapy. Baseline characteristics significantly associated with CR (Table) were M stage (NIVO+IPI), PD-L1 ≥ 5% (NIVO), normal lactate dehydrogenase (LDH; both) and fewer disease sites (both). Median duration of CR and median time to subsequent systemic therapy were not reached in either group. Median mo (Q1, Q3) to CR was 9.1 (2.8, 23.1) for NIVO+IPI and 11.8 (5.8, 26.5) for NIVO alone. In pts in CR at 12-mo, 5-y OS for NIVO+IPI and NIVO respectively was 85% and 86%; PFS was 84% and 82%.

Conclusions

NIVO+IPI- or NIVO-treated pts in CR at 12 mo have a high likelihood of being alive at 5 y even without subsequent systemic therapy. Several baseline pt characteristics were associated with CR duration. Factors associated with CR may differ for NIVO+IPI and NIVO alone. Biomarker analyses are ongoing. Table: 1082MO
