Abstract 192P

Background

Evidence suggests baseline ATB and PPI exposure negatively impacts immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) outcomes in solid tumors, likely via gut microbiome disruption.

Methods

The PACIFIC trial (NCT03519971) randomized (2:1) patients (pts) to receive 12 months durvalumab or placebo maintenance. We conducted a post-hoc analysis to evaluate the impact of baseline ATB and PPI use on progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) depending on the treatment strategy. Log-rank test and Cox regression were used for univariable and multivariable analysis.

Results

After excluding 45 pts due to lack of consent for post-hoc analyses, 450 (durvalumab) and 214 (placebo) were included. PPI exposure (262 patients) was associated with age >65 (47.1% vs 36.9%, p=0.01), ECOG-PS 1 (56.5% vs 48.0%, p=0.04), and PD-L1>1% (44.2% vs 40.8%, p=0.05). ATB exposure (70 patients) was linked to a higher rate of partial response to cCTRT (50.0% vs 48.0%, p=0.01). Median follow-up was 62.4 months. Among durvalumab-treated patients, ATB exposure was significantly associated with reduced PFS (5.68 vs 16.8 months, p=0.03) with no impact in placebo-treated pts (p=0.5; interaction p=0.39). Similarly, PPI exposure was associated with reduced PFS in the durvalumab group (10.7 vs 18.1 months, p=0.017) but not in the placebo group (p=0.12; interaction p=0.01). Multivariable analysis including age, gender, smoking status, PD-L1 expression, tumor histology, EGFR status, ECOG-PS, TNM stage as adjusting covariates confirmed ATB (HR 1.69, 95%CI: 1.12–2.55) and PPI exposure (HR 1.31, 95%CI: 1.02–1.68) as independent predictors of shorter PFS in durvalumab-treated pts. No significant OS impact was observed for either ATB or PPIs.

Conclusions

Baseline ATB and PPI exposure may detrimentally affect outcomes in pts receiving durvalumab after cCTRT. Further studies are warranted to explore mechanisms and mitigation strategies in the early stage setting.
