      • Abstract

      Background:
      Anti-PD-1 and anti-PD-L1 antibodies including pembrolizumab, nivolumab and atezolizumab have entered clinical practice in the management of metastatic NSCLC as monotherapy and immunotherapy-based combinations. We have established a real-world Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Holistic Registry (ANCHoR) to understand how the emergence of immunotherapy impacts choice of treatment, clinical outcomes, and patient reported outcomes (PROs) in the different histo-molecular subtypes of metastatic NSCLC. The objectives of ANCHoR are to determine the treatment choice and treatment sequence by PD-L1 status in the various histo-molecular categories of NSCLC and to understand the impact of such treatment choice on response rates, progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS). Additionally we will measure the impact the treatment choices have on the PROs by utilizing the validated instruments, EuroQol-5D version 5L (EQ-5D-5L) and MD Anderson Symptom Inventory module specific to lung cancer (MDASI-LC).

      Method:
      The study will enroll patients with metastatic NSCLC diagnoses who are treated at MD Anderson Cancer Center (MDA) between January 1, 2017 and December 31, 2020. The study period will end on June 30, 2021 to allow a minimum of six months of follow-up. Trained abstractors will collect demographic, diagnostic, clinical, molecular (biomarker and PD-L1), treatment (regimens utilized in sequence and reason for discontinuation), response and survival (including PFS and OS), health care resource utilization and PRO (EQ-5D-5L and MDASI-LC) information that will be integrated in a comprehensive database. Information from the MDA electronic medical record will be extracted and populated in the GEnomic Marker-guided therapy INItiative (GEMINI) database and the PRO database which are linked. EQ-5D-5L followed by MDASI-LC will be completed directly by the patients and these will be automatically populated in the web-based PRO database at treatment initiation, at the time of response assessments and when switching lines of therapy.

      Result:
      Interim analysis will be conducted every six months to measure the impact of immunotherapy over time. Study results will be presented using descriptive statistics for continuous variables (mean, standard deviation, median, and interquartile range), categorical variables (frequency and proportions), and time-to-event variables (Kaplan-Meier). Regression models will be used for estimating the relationship between dependent variable and one or more predictors. Cox proportional hazards model will be used to estimate hazard ratios for time-to-event outcomes.

      Conclusion:
      The ANCHoR study is the first comprehensive registry of its kind that will enable the quantification of the changing impact of immunotherapy on the real-world NSCLC treatment landscape.
