      • Abstract

      Background:
      in France, in May 2015, Nivolumab early access program was established for patients with advanced NSCLC progressing during or after platinum-based chemotherapy. There is little evidence of Nivolumab use out of clinical trials. We report here one year of Nivolumab use in a French Universitary hospital.

      Methods:
      Observational prospective review of patients with advanced NSCLC treated with Nivolumab monotherapy (3 mg/kg/2weeks) in our center, in routine clinical practice. Patients in clinical trial were excluded. Analyze was done on clinico-pathological features, tolerance and outcomes.

      Results:
      63 patients were included (men: 76.1%, age: 65 (range: 40–78), squamous: 33.3%; smoker: 93.7%%, EGFR/ALK negatives: 98.4%, unknown PDL1: 70%; at least one significant comorbidity: 54%; performans status 0/1/2: 34%/49%/17%; cerebral metastasis: 38%; nivolumab as second, third and more than third lines: 38%/38%/24%. Median number of nivolumab cycles: 6 (1-24), more than 12 cycles: 20.6% Disease control rate : 59% (3 complete responses) ; Clinically significant adverse event: 13 (20%) patients (asthenia: 4 patients, grade 2 to 4 colitis: 3 patients, pneumoniae: 3 patients, nephritis: 1 patient). After Nivolumab, 50% of the patients received an another systemic therapy. Two patients were able to go back to work.

      Conclusion:
      In real life setting, nivolumab had the efficacy level reported by pivotal clinical trial but with a higher rate of clinically significant adverse events, particularly colitis.
