OA 17.07 - Long-Term Survival in Atezolizumab-Treated Patients with 2L+ NSCLC from Ph III Randomized OAK Study (ID 8663)
15:35 - 15:45 | Author(s): J. Von Pawel

- Presentation
Background:
Atezolizumab (anti–PD-L1) inhibits PD-L1 binding to PD-1 and B7.1, restoring anti-cancer immunity. OAK, a Phase III study of atezolizumab vs docetaxel demonstrated superior OS of atezolizumab. The characteristics of the long-term survivors (LTS) in the OAK primary population (n = 850) are evaluated and describe the largest cohort of cancer immunotherapy-treated NSCLC LTS yet reported.
Method:
Patients received IV q3w atezolizumab (1200 mg) until PD / loss of clinical benefit or docetaxel (75 mg/m[2]) until PD / unacceptable toxicity. No crossover was allowed. LTS were defined as patients with OS ≥ 24 months and non-LTS as those who died within 24 months of randomization. Patients with OS censored prior to 24 months were not included. Data cutoff, January 23, 2017.
Result:
A higher 2-year survival rate was observed for the atezolizumab-arm (31%) vs docetaxel-arm (21%). After a minimum follow-up of 26 months, there were 119 LTS vs 279 non-LTS in the atezolizumab-arm and 77 LTS vs 299 non-LTS in the docetaxel-arm. Characteristics of atezolizumab-arm LTS and non-LTS are shown (Table). Atezolizumab-arm LTS were enriched for non-squamous histology and high PD-L1–expressing tumors, but also included low/no PD-L1–expressing tumors (40.3%). Atezolizumab-arm LTS had higher ORR (39.5%) than non-LTS (5.0%) but included LTS subjects with PD. 52.9% atezolizumab-arm vs 71.4% docetaxel-arm LTS received anti-cancer non-protocol therapy (NPT) after discontinuation of protocol-defined therapy. 51.9% of docetaxel-arm LTS vs 12.7% non-LTS received non-protocol immunotherapy. Median treatment exposure in atezolizumab-arm LTS was 18.0 months. Atezolizumab-arm LTS had a comparable safety profile to all atezolizumab-treated population.
Conclusion:
Atezolizumab provides superior 2-year OS benefit vs docetaxel and is well tolerated. The majority of docetaxel-arm LTS received a checkpoint inhibitor as NPT. Atezolizumab LTS appeared to have favorable prognostic factors, including non-squamous histology, but notably were not limited to patients with RECIST v1.1 response or with PD-L1 expression.Table.

P1.01-052 - Patient-Reported Outcomes (PROs) in OAK: A Phase III Study of Atezolizumab vs Docetaxel in Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) (ID 9903)
09:30 - 09:30 | Author(s): J. Von Pawel
- Abstract
Background:
The phase III OAK study in NSCLC (NCT02008227) demonstrated prolonged overall survival with atezolizumab (an anti-programmed death-ligand 1 antibody) versus docetaxel (median 13.8 vs 9.6 months; HR:0.73, 95% CI 0.62–0.87; p=0.0003). PROs were collected to support documentation of clinical benefit. We report data regarding symptom burden, functioning, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL).
Method:
Patients (n=850) with squamous/non-squamous, previously treated NSCLC, ≥18 years, with measurable disease (RECIST), and ECOG PS 0–1 were randomized to receive atezolizumab 1200mg or docetaxel 75mg/m[2] q3w. PROs were collected using two questionnaires: EORTC QLQ-C30 and its lung module, QLQ-LC13. Analyses included time-to-confirmed-deterioration (TTD) in lung cancer symptoms, physical and role function, HRQoL, longitudinal analyses of mean scores change from baseline to Cycles 5 and 6, proportion of patients with clinically meaningful worsening (≥10-point change from baseline) by Cycles 5 and 6.
Result:
High completion rates were observed throughout treatment (>80% for most cycles). Atezolizumab delayed TTD in physical (HR:0.75, 95% CI 0.58–0.98) and role function (HR:0.79, 95% CI 0.62–1.00). Prolonged TTD in chest pain (HR:0.71, 95% CI 0.49–1.05) was observed with atezolizumab; no differences in TTD were seen for other lung cancer symptoms and HRQoL. Longitudinal analyses demonstrated average changes from baseline in favor of atezolizumab for lung cancer symptoms (Cycle 6: dyspnea, fatigue), domains of functioning (Cycle 6: physical function, social function), HRQoL (Cycle 5); see Table. Fewer atezolizumab-treated patients experienced clinically meaningful worsening in possible treatment-related symptoms during treatment (Cycle 6: diarrhea [OR:0.51, p<0.0001], sore mouth [OR:0.40, p<0.0001], dysphagia [OR:0.61; p=0.0052], peripheral neuropathy [OR:0.50, p<0.0001], alopecia [OR:0.02; p<0.0001]).
Conclusion:
In OAK, atezolizumab delayed the time until NSCLC patients experience limitations in physical and role functioning versus docetaxel. Patient-reported data indicate atezolizumab maintained/improved lung cancer symptom burden and HRQoL compared with baseline, while demonstrating improved tolerability, versus docetaxel.By Cycle 5 By Cycle 6 LS means difference between treatment arms (average change from baseline) P value LS means difference between treatment arms (average change from baseline) P value EORTC QLQ-C30 Global Health Status and Function Scales (positive values indicate greater improvement with atezolizumab over docetaxel) Global Health Status 4.32* p=0.0151 3.08 p=0.1257 Physical Function 3.33* p=0.0290 6.64* p<0.0001 Role Function 2.93 p=0.1959 4.72 p=0.0542 Emotional Function 2.66 p=0.1110 1.92 p=0.2868 Cognitive Function -0.67 p=0.6790 -1.08 p=0.5309 Social Function 3.25 p=0.1159 4.68* p=0.0319 EORTC QLQ-C30 Symptom Scales (negative values indicate greater improvement with atezolizumab over docetaxel) Fatigue -6.27* p=0.0015 -7.66* p=0.0003 Nausea/Vomiting -0.37 p=0.7824 -0.18 p=0.9040 Pain 1.44 p=0.5132 -1.67 p=0.4727 Dyspnea -4.70* p=0.0317 -5.92* p=0.0138 Insomnia 3.50 p=0.1675 0.83 p=0.7564 Appetite Loss -2.94 p=0.1994 -4.49 p=0.0586 Constipation -0.31 p=0.8772 -0.33 p=0.8816 Diarrhea -3.14* p=0.0482 -2.05 p=0.1748 EORTC QLQ-LC13 Symptom Scales (negative values indicate greater improvement with atezolizumab over docetaxel) Dyspnea -1.66 p=0.3146 -4.80* p=0.0140 Coughing -2.60 p=0.2572 -1.38 p=0.5772 Sore Mouth -7.29* p<0.0001 -9.23* p<0.0001 Dysphagia -0.08 p=0.9595 -2.01 p=0.1575 Peripheral Neuropathy -12.98* p<0.0001 -15.71* p<0.0001 Hemoptysis -0.24 p=0.7365 -0.91 p=0.2080 Alopecia -50.59* p<0.0001 -47.04* p<0.0001 Chest Pain -0.91 p=0.6064 -0.58 p=0.7779 Arm/Shoulder Pain -2.27 p=0.3177 -0.58 p=0.8109 Pain in Other Parts 0.94 p=0.7197 -1.05 p=0.7034 *Values that are significantly in favor of atezolizumab versus docetaxel

P2.04-001 - BALTIC: A Phase 2, Open-Label Study of Novel Combinations of Immunotherapies or DDR Inhibitors in Platinum-Refractory ED-SCLC (ID 8668)
09:30 - 09:30 | Author(s): J. Von Pawel
- Abstract
Background:
Immunotherapy and DNA damage repair inhibitors have the potential to play a role in the treatment of patients with extensive-disease small cell lung cancer (ED-SCLC), due to high mutation load and genomic instability in this disease setting. Durvalumab, a selective, high-affinity, engineered human IgG1 mAb blocks PD-L1 binding to PD-1 and CD80. Tremelimumab is a selective human IgG2 mAb targeting CTLA-4. Durvalumab plus tremelimumab demonstrated clinical activity and manageable tolerability in a Phase 1b study in NSCLC (NCT02000947). AZD1775, a small-molecule inhibitor of DNA damage checkpoint kinase WEE1, potentiates genotoxic chemotherapies. AZD1775 plus carboplatin showed antitumor activity and acceptable safety in a Phase 2 study in platinum-refractory p53-mutated ovarian cancer (NCT01164995).
Method:
BALTIC (NCT02937818) is a Phase 2, open-label, multicenter, multi-arm, exploratory, signal-searching study to assess the preliminary activity of novel treatment combinations in patients with platinum-refractory/resistant ED-SCLC. Inclusion criteria include disease progression during, or within 90 days of completing, first-line platinum-based chemotherapy; WHO/ECOG performance status of 0/1; and life expectancy ≥8 weeks. Each study arm is independent and will open sequentially to enroll up to 20 patients. The study will open initially with two arms. Patients will receive durvalumab 1500 mg + tremelimumab 75 mg i.v. q4w for 4 doses, followed by durvalumab monotherapy 1500 mg i.v. q4w (Arm A); and oral AZD1775 225 mg bid for 2.5 days from Day 1 + carboplatin AUC 5 on Day 1 i.v. q3w (Arm B). Treatment will continue until confirmed disease progression or discontinuation. Further arms will be added to assess other combinations once tolerable dosing regimens have been established. The primary endpoint is investigator-assessed ORR (RECIST v1.1). Secondary endpoints include duration of response, disease control rate, time-to-response, PFS, OS, pharmacokinetics, safety and tolerability. Gene expression levels and biomarkers will also be explored. Recruitment is ongoing.Figure 1
