Successful osimertinib rechallenge following drug-induced pneumonitis after previous anti-PDL1 exposure.

ABSTRACT: Osimertinib is a first-line treatment option for patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harbouring EGFR mutations. Pneumonitis is a severe adverse event (AE) related to osimertinib treatment which appears to be more frequent when associated with concurrent or previous anti-PD(L)1 exposure. Data regarding the efficacy and safety of osimertinib rechallenge, especially in the setting of central nervous system (CNS) metastases, are scarce. We herein describe a case of a 53-year-old patient with metastatic EGFR-mutated NSCLC, who developed pneumonitis after osimertinib treatment and was successfully rechallenged with 40 mg daily osimertinib, with CNS response. This dose reduction strategy may be an option for selected patients with brain metastases after tyrosine kinase inhibitors-induced AEs.

Project description:BackgroundCheckpoint inhibitor-related pneumonitis (CIP) induced by immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) is one of the most fatal immune-related adverse events (irAE). However, only limited data are available on rechallenge with ICIs after CIP. We evaluated the efficacy and safety of rechallenge after CIP in patients with advanced lung cancer to identify the potential populations that would benefit.MethodsWe conducted a multicenter retrospective study of advanced lung cancer patients who received further ICI treatment (rechallenge) or did not undergo re-administration after grade ≥1 CIP between May 2017 and May 2021. Progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were estimated from first or second ICI initiation to disease progression (PFS1 and PFS2, respectively), death, or last follow-up (OS1 and OS2, respectively). The recurrence of CIP and new irAEs in these patients after ICI rechallenge were calculated.ResultsAmong 107 patients afflicted with CIP, 45 (42.1%) received ICI rechallenge. Multivariate analysis showed that severe grade (grades ≥3) and ground-glass opacity of pneumonitis lesions were negatively associated with rechallenge. Following rechallenge, 9 (20.0%) patients developed recurrent pneumonitis, and 11 (24.4%) developed a new irAE. Severe grade of CIP and poor performance status at initial CIP as well as levels of interleukin (IL)-6 and C-reactive protein (CRP), and absolute white blood cell and neutrophil counts at the time of ICI rechallenge were associated with a higher recurrence rate. The median (95% confidence interval) PFS1 and PFS2 were 17.9 (9.9-24.2) and 15.5 (5.5-25.6) months, respectively. The median (95% confidence interval) OS1 and OS2 were 23.5 (16.5-30.5) and 18.4 (10.1-26.7) months, respectively. Lower OS2 was observed in patients with severe grade of CIP and poor performance status at the initial CIP, recurrence of CIP, and in patients with high levels of CRP and IL-6 at rechallenge. Only IL-6 was found to affect OS2 on multivariate analysis.ConclusionsICI rechallenge following CIP may be a promising treatment for patients with advanced lung cancer, particularly in those with low-grade of CIP and good performance status at initial CIP, and low levels of IL-6 and CRP at the time of initial challenge. Prospective studies are needed for further verification.

Project description:BackgroundFit patients with metastatic urothelial carcinoma (mUC) receive first-line platinum-based combination chemotherapy (fPBC) as standard of care and may receive additional later-line chemotherapy after progression. Our study compares outcomes with subsequent platinum-based chemotherapy (sPBC) versus subsequent non-platinum-based chemotherapy (sNPBC).Materials and methodsPatients from 27 international centers in the Retrospective International Study of Cancers of the Urothelium (RISC) who received fPBC for mUC and at least two cycles of subsequent chemotherapy were included in this study. A multivariable Cox proportional hazards model compared overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS).ResultsOne hundred thirty-five patients received sPBC and 161 received sNPBC. Baseline characteristics were similar between groups, except patients who received sPBC had higher baseline hemoglobin, higher disease control rate with fPBC, and longer time since fPBC. OS was superior in the sPBC group (median 7.9 vs 5.5 months) in a model adjusting for comorbidity burden, performance status, liver metastases, number of fPBC cycles received, best response to fPBC, and time since fPBC (hazard ratio, 0.72; 95% confidence interval, 0.53-0.98; p = .035). There was no difference in PFS. More patients in the sPBC group achieved disease control than in the sNPBC group (57.4% vs 44.8%; p = .041). Factors associated with achieving disease control in the sPBC group but not the sNPBC group included longer time since fPBC, achieving disease control with fPBC, and absence of liver metastases.ConclusionAfter receiving fPBC for mUC, patients who received sPBC had better OS and disease control. This may help inform the choice of subsequent chemotherapy in patients with mUC.Implications for practicePatients with progressive metastatic urothelial carcinoma after first-line platinum-based combination chemotherapy may now receive immuno-oncology agents, erdafitinib, enfortumab vedotin, or sacituzumab govitecan-hziy; however, those ineligible for these later-line therapies or who progress after receiving them may be considered for subsequent chemotherapy. In this retrospective study of 296 patients, survival outcomes and disease control rates were better in those receiving subsequent platinum-based rechallenge compared with non-platinum-based chemotherapy, suggesting that patients should receive platinum rechallenge if clinically able. Disease control with platinum rechallenge was more likely with prior first-line platinum having achieved disease control, longer time since first-line platinum, and absence of liver metastases.
