Outcome following nivolumab treatment in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer and comorbid interstitial lung disease in a real-world setting.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Up to 10% of patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (aNSCLC) have pre-existing interstitial lung disease (ILD). These patients are usually excluded from immunotherapy clinical trials. Consequently, knowledge on outcomes following nivolumab treatment in these patients remains limited. The primary objective of this study was to evaluate survival outcome following nivolumab treatment in ILD patients with pre-treated aNSCLC in the real-world setting.

Patients and methods

The study included all patients with aNSCLC recorded in the French hospital database, starting nivolumab in 2015-2016. Patients were stratified by pre-existing ILD and three subgroups were studied [auto-immune or granulomatous (AI/G) ILD, other known causes ILD and idiopathic ILD]. Time to discontinuation of nivolumab treatment [time to treatment duration (TTD)] and overall survival (OS) were estimated using Kaplan-Meier survival analysis.

Results

Of 10,452 aNSCLC patients initiating nivolumab, 148 (1.4%) had pre-existing ILD. Mean age at nivolumab initiation was 64.6 ± 9.4 years in ILD and 63.8 ± 9.6 years in non-ILD. Compared to non-ILD, patients in the ILD group were more frequently men (p < 0.05) and had more comorbidities (p < 0.001). There was no significant difference between ILD and non-ILD groups for median TTD (2.5 versus 2.8 months; p = 0.6) or median OS (9.6 versus 11.9 months; p = 0.1). Median OS in AI/G ILD (n = 14), other known causes ILD (n = 75), and idiopathic ILD (n = 59) were 8.6, 10.7, and 9.6 months, respectively.

Conclusion

In this large cohort of aNSCLC patients with ILD, outcomes are similar to those obtained in the non-ILD population. Immunotherapy could be beneficial for these patients.

Project description:Background and Objectives: This single-center retrospective study was conducted to describe clinical characteristics and the disease course of patients with interstitial lung diseases (ILD). Materials and Methods: The study included adult patients with fibrosing ILD (IPF, non-IPF fibrosing ILD (F-ILD), and non-IPF progressive pulmonary fibrosis (PPF)) treated between 2014 and 2017. Patients were followed annually from the first visit until the end of the study period in 2019. Data were collected from the Turku University Hospital data lake and analyzed using descriptive statistics. Results: 591 patients formed the patient cohort: 110 had IPF, 194 F-ILD, 142 PPF, and the remaining 145 patients were uncertain, F-ILD-U, whose disease progression nature could not be confirmed by FVC measurements. There were more males in each patient group and median age of the groups was similar, although there were younger patients in the PPF, F-ILD, and F-ILD-U groups. PPF patients had more UIP pattern than F-ILD patients. Exposure-related ILDs were clearly the most found ILD diagnoses for both PPF and F-ILD, followed by unclassifiable IIP. Baseline FVC % predicted reduction in every group was moderate. Half of the patients in each group had comorbidities, and the most common were cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, sleep apnea, and chronic lower respiratory diseases; F-ILD-U patients had malignant diseases as well. IPF patients had less medications than the other groups. Glucocorticoids were the most used medication in all patient groups. More PPF and F-ILD patients remained in the follow-up than IPF and F-ILD-U patients. Similarly, mortality of F-ILD-U was the highest, followed by IPF. Evolvement of lung function, oxygen use, and number of acute hospitalizations were similar for IPF and PPF patients whereas the corresponding results were always better for F-ILD patients. Conclusions: The disease course of IPF and PPF was similar, and PPF patient amount exceeded the amount of IPF patients.

Project description:IntroductionThere is a need to understand the current treatment landscape for LA HNSCC in the real-world setting.MethodsThis retrospective study assessed real-world outcomes and treatment patterns of 1,158 adult patients diagnosed with locally advanced (stage III-IVB) HNSCC initiating chemoradiotherapy (CRT) within the period January 2015 to December 2017 in a large network of US community oncology practices. Structured data were abstracted from electronic health records. Demographic, clinical and treatment characteristics were analyzed descriptively overall and stratified by index treatment (cisplatin + radiotherapy [RT], cisplatin + other chemotherapy + RT, or cetuximab + RT). Time to next treatment (TTNT) and overall survival (OS) were measured using the Kaplan-Meier method, and median duration of treatment was assessed. OS was compared across treatment cohorts using multinomial logistic regression with inverse probability treatment weighting. To identify covariates associated with OS, a multivariable adjusted Cox proportional hazard model was used.ResultsThis study examined 22,782 records, of which 2124 had stage III to stage IVB and no other cancers, and 1158 met all eligibility criteria. Among the treatment cohorts analyzed (cisplatin + RT, cisplatin + other chemotherapy + RT, or cetuximab + RT), cisplatin + RT was the most common concurrent chemotherapy (65.8%). Among 1158 patients, 838 (72.4%) did not initiate subsequent treatment and 139 (12.0%) died. The median TTNT and median OS were only reached by the cetuximab + RT cohort. Among patients with oropharynx primary tumor location, patients with human papilloma virus (HPV) positive status had the longest time on treatment and highest survival at 60 months. Covariates associated with improved survival were never/former tobacco use, HPV positive status, and overweight or obese body mass index. Covariates associated with poorer survival were age of 60+ years, primary tumor location of hypopharynx or oral cavity and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status score of 2+.ConclusionThese data describe real-world treatment patterns in locally advanced head and neck squamous cell cancer and sets the baseline to assess outcomes for future studies on the community oncology population.
