RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Checkpoint-inhibitor pneumonitis (CIP) represents a major immune-related adverse event (irAE) in patients with lung cancer. We aimed for the clinical characterization, diagnostics, risk factors, treatment and outcome in a large cohort of patients from everyday clinical practice. PATIENTS AND METHODS: For this retrospective analysis, 1,376 patients having received checkpoint inhibitors (CPI) in any line of therapy from June 2015 until February 2020 from three large-volume lung cancer centers in Berlin, Germany were included and analyzed. RESULTS: With a median follow-up of 35 months, all-grade, high-grade (CTCAE ≥ 3) and fatal CIP were observed in 83 (6.0%), 37 (2.7%) and 12 (0.9%) patients, respectively, with a median onset 4 months after initiation of CPI therapy. The most common radiologic patterns were organizing pneumonia (OP) and non-specific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP) (37% and 31%). All except 7 patients with G1-2 CIP interrupted treatment. Corticosteroids were administered to 74 patients with a median starting dose of 0.75 mg/kg. After complete restitution (n = 67), re-exposure to CPI (n = 14) led to additional irAE in 43% of the cases. Thoracic radiotherapy targeting the lung was the only independent risk factor for CIP (odds ratio 2.8, p < 0.001) and pretherapeutic diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide inversely correlated with CIP severity. Compared with patients without CIP and non-CIP irAE, CIP was associated with impaired overall survival (hazard ratios 1.23, p = 0.24 and 2.01, p = 0.005). CONCLUSIONS: High-grade CIP accounts for almost half of all CIP cases in an allcomer lung cancer population. A continuous vigilance, rapid diagnostics and adequate treatment are key to prevent disease progression associated with impaired survival.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Local ablative therapy (LAT) improves survival in oligometastatic lung cancer (OMD), but there is limited information on recurrence patterns, re-treatments and in particular the role of brain metastases during the course of disease. We therefore conducted a retrospective multicenter analysis to evaluate course of disease, sequence of therapies and predictors for long-term disease-control in the brain and survival endpoints. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Clinical data of patients with synchronous, single organ OMD with ≤4 metastases were collected from 5 certified German lung cancer centers. All patients underwent thorough initial staging including a 18FDG-PET/CT scan, brain imaging and mediastinal staging, if necessary, and received LAT to all sites of disease. RESULTS: In total, 164 patients were included (median age 62 years [range 41-84], non-squamous histology 80%, N0-1 64%, single metastasis 84%), 103 had brain (cohort A), 61 extracranial metastases (cohort B). With a median follow-up of 66 months, 115 patients (70%) experienced recurrent disease with a different distribution of sites: In cohort A vs. B, brain relapses occurred in 56% vs. 18% and new distant metastases in 5% vs. 40%. In total, LAT for every relapse was possible for 25% (29/115) of the patients. Patients with initial and secondary onset brain metastases experienced long-term disease-control in the brain and subsequently favorable survival with the application of repeated LAT (disease in the brain controlled vs. not-controlled, HR 0.21, p < 0.001). Comparable long-term overall survival was observed in patients with no or isolated brain relapses (5-years OS 74% and 92%) in contrast to patients with extracranial relapses (5-years OS 19.6%, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Repeated LAT for recurrent synchronous single organ OMD results in a long-term favorable outcome. Disease control in the brain appears crucial and likely determines survival.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Pembrolizumab is a highly effective standard of care in PD-L1 overexpressing (≥ 50%) non-small-cell lung cancer. However, a substantial share of patients from everyday clinical practice is treated without clear evidence from clinical trials. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We performed a retrospective multicentric study including all consecutive patients from 6 certified lung cancer centers in Berlin, Germany, having received pembrolizumab as first-line palliative therapy from January 1 until December 31, 2017. Aims were to validate published clinical trials with a special focus on efficacy and outcome in patients with reduced performance status (PS), brain metastases, and steroids. RESULTS: A total of 153 patients were included (median age 69 years, 58% men, 69% adenocarcinoma). Rates for PS ≥ 2, brain metastases, and steroids were 24.8%, 20.9%, and 24.2%, respectively. Median objective response rate, progression-free and overall survival were 48.5%, 8.2 and 22.0 months for all patients and 52.4%, 8.8 and 29.2 months in patients fulfilling the inclusion criteria for the KEYNOTE-024 trial. Patients with a comorbidity-defined PS ≥ 2, symptomatic brain metastases requiring upfront radiotherapy, or baseline steroids had significantly reduced survival. In contrast, durable responses occurred with a tumor-related PS ≥ 2 or asymptomatic brain metastases. Grade 3/4 and 5 immune-related adverse events affected 13.7% and 2.0% of patients. CONCLUSION: Real-world and clinical trial efficacy with upfront pembrolizumab correspond well. Pembrolizumab may sufficiently control asymptomatic brain metastases and may improve a cancer-related reduced PS. However, the frail share of patients with a comorbidity-defined PS ≥ 2, symptomatic brain metastases, or baseline steroids derives no relevant benefit.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Pembrolizumab is a standard of care as first line palliative therapy in PD-L1 overexpressing (≥50%) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This study aimed at the identification of KRAS and TP53-defined mutational subgroups in the PD-L1 high population to distinguish long-term responders from those with limited benefit. METHODS: In this retrospective, observational study, patients from 4 certified lung cancer centers in Berlin, Germany, having received pembrolizumab monotherapy as first line palliative treatment for lung adenocarcinoma (LuAD) from 2017 to 2018, with PD-L1 expression status and targeted NGS data available, were evaluated. RESULTS: A total of 119 patients were included. Rates for KRAS, TP53 and combined mutations were 52.1%, 47.1% and 21.9%, respectively, with no association given between KRAS and TP53 mutations (P=0.24). By trend, PD-L1 expression was higher in KRAS-positive patients (75% vs. 65%, P=0.13). Objective response rate (ORR), median progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) in the KRASG12C group (n=32, 51.6%) were 63.3%, 19.8 months (mo.) and not estimable (NE), respectively. Results in KRASother and wild type patients were similar and by far lower (42.7%, P=0.06; 6.2 mo., P<0.001; 23.4 mo., P=0.08). TP53 mutations alone had no impact on response and survival. However, KRASG12C/TP53 co-mutations (n=12) defined a subset of long-term responders (ORR 100.0%, PFS 33.3 mo., OS NE). In contrast, patients with KRASother/TP53 mutations showed a dismal prognosis (ORR 27.3%, P=0.002; PFS 3.9 mo., P=0.001, OS 9.7 mo., P=0.02). CONCLUSIONS: A comprehensive assessment of KRAS subtypes and TP53 mutations allows a highly relevant prognostic differentiation of patients with metastatic, PD-L1 high LuAD treated upfront with pembrolizumab.
