Abstract LBA59

Background

CheckMate 9LA (NCT03215706), a phase III randomized study, met its primary endpoint of improved overall survival with NIVO 360 mg Q3W + IPI 1 mg/kg Q6W + 2 cycles of chemo (n = 361) vs 4 cycles of chemo (n = 358) in patients (pts) with treatment-naive, stage IV/recurrent NSCLC and no known sensitizing EGFR/ALK alterations. We present PROs from the study.

Methods

PROs were exploratory endpoints; disease-related symptoms were evaluated using the Lung Cancer Symptom Scale average symptom burden index and 3-item global index (LCSS ASBI/3-IGI); health-related quality of life (HRQoL) was evaluated using EQ-5D-3L visual analog scale and utility index (EQ-5D-3L VAS/UI). Analyses included mean changes from baseline, mixed-effect model repeated measures (MMRM) of longitudinal changes, and time to deterioration.

Results

PRO completion rates were > 80% across arms for most on-treatment assessment time points in which there were ≥ 10 pts (up to week 90 for NIVO + IPI + chemo and week 78 for chemo). A trend for improvement in LCSS ASBI and 3-IGI was seen in both treatment arms, though the minimally important difference was not reached. In both arms, mean EQ-5D-3L VAS scores approached UK population norms after ∼30 weeks. MMRM analyses showed similar improvement across arms in overall LCSS ASBI when there was a sufficient number of patients in both study arms for assessment (up to week 78). There was a decreased risk of, and delayed time to, definitive deterioration with NIVO + IPI + chemo vs chemo (Table).

Conclusions

Pts with advanced NSCLC treated with NIVO + IPI + chemo (2 cycles) maintained their quality of life as compared with chemo (4 cycles). Pts in the NIVO + IPI + chemo arm had decreased risk of definitive deterioration in HRQoL and symptoms vs chemo. Table: LBA59
