Long-term effectiveness and treatment sequences in patients with extensive stage small cell lung cancer receiving atezolizumab plus chemotherapy: Results of the IFCT-1905 CLINATEZO real-world study.

BACKGROUND: Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) has a tendency towards recurrence and limited survival. Standard-of-care in 1st-line is platinum-etoposide chemotherapy plus atezolizumab or durvalumab,based on landmarkclinical trials. METHODS: IFCT-1905 CLINATEZO is a nationwide, non-interventional, retrospectivestudy of patients with extensive-SCLC receivingatezolizumab plus chemotherapy as part of French Early Access Program. Objectives were to analyse effectiveness,safetyand subsequent treatments. RESULTS: The population analyzed included 518 patients who received atezolizumabin 65 participating centers. There were 66.2% male,mean age was 65.7 years; 89.1% had a performance status (PS) 0/1 and 26.6% brain metastases. Almost all(95.9%) were smokers. Fifty-five (10.6%) received at least 1 previous treatment. Median number of atezolizumab injections was 7.0 (range [1.0-48.0]) for a median duration of 4.9 months (95% CI 4.5-5.1). Atezolizumab was continued beyond progression in 122 patients (23.6%) for a median duration of 1.9 months (95% CI: [1.4-2.3]). Best objective response was complete and partialin 19 (3.9%) and 378 (77.1%)patients. Stable diseasewas observed in 50 patients (10.2%). Median follow-up was30.8 months (95% CI: [29.9-31.5]). Median overall survival (OS), 12-, 24-month OS rates were 11.3 months (95% CI: [10.1-12.4]), 46.7% (95% CI [42.3-50.9]) and 21.2% (95% CI [17.7-24.8]). Median real-world progression-free survival, 6-, 12-month rates were 5.2 months (95% CI [5.0-5.4]), 37.5% (95% CI [33.3-41.7]) and 15.2% (95% CI [12.2-18.6]). For patients with PS 0/1, median OS was 12.2 months (95% CI [11.0-13.5]). For patients with previous treatment, median OS was 14.9 months (95% CI [10.1-21.5]). Three-hundred-and-twenty-six patients(66.4%) received subsequent treatment and27 (5.2%) were still underatezolizumabat date of last news. CONCLUSIONS: IFCT-1905 CLINATEZO shows reproductibility, in real-life,ofIMpower-133survival outcomes, possibly attributed to selection of patients fit for this regimen, adoption of pragmatic approaches,including concurrent radiotherapy and treatment beyond progression.
