Abstract 299P

Background

CASPIAN (NCT03043872) assessed D + 4 cycles of EP vs ≤6 cycles of EP in pts with ES-SCLC and established D + EP as a 1L standard of care. The phase IIIb LUMINANCE study (NCT04774380) assessed 1L D + ≤6 cycles of EP in pts with ES-SCLC. Primary safety and efficacy results were consistent with CASPIAN, including in pts who received ≥5 cycles of EP. We report final safety and efficacy results and selected exploratory biomarker analyses.

Methods

Pts (N=152) received D 1500 mg + EP Q3W for ≤6 cycles, followed by D Q4W until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Primary endpoints: incidence of grade ≥3 and immune-mediated adverse events (AE/imAE). Progression-free and overall survival (PFS/OS) were secondary endpoints. Exploratory biomarker analyses assessed the correlation of PFS/OS with baseline PD-L1 expression on tumour/immune cells, MHC I and CD8 by immunohistochemistry, and ctDNA detection and tumour methylated fraction (TMeF) by Cancer Research Solution (GRAIL, Inc.).

Results

At final data cutoff (21 April 2024; median follow-up 11.6 months) 13.2% of pts were still receiving D. Pts received a median (range) 9 (1–30) doses of D and 48.7% of pts had received 6 cycles of EP. Final safety and key efficacy results are shown (Table). 148 pts were evaluable for baseline ctDNA; TMeF was detected in 100% of samples. 96/76/71 pts were evaluable for MHC I/CD8/PD-L1. Low TMeF and high CD8 density at baseline were associated with longer PFS/OS (Table). High MHC I expression generally favoured longer PFS/OS; no specific cutoff was identified (PFS/OS HRs ranged from 0.54–0.83/0.48–0.87, cutoffs ranged from 5–95%). PD-L1 status was not clearly associated with PFS/OS (data will be presented).

Conclusions

These results further support the use of 1L D for ES-SCLC. Though limited by a lack of a control arm, PD-L1, MHC I and CD8 analyses were consistent with CASPIAN; ctDNA data support further investigation of the potential of TMeF as a biomarker in SCLC.
