Results

Brief summary Nivolumab was clearly inferior to standard platinum-combination chemotherapy with regard to PFS in EGFR-mutated NSCLC patients with acquired EGFR-TKI resistance. Nevertheless, a small proportion of such patients experienced a longer-term response to nivolumab, and biomarker analysis identified potential target molecules for future immunotherapy in this patient population.

Participant flow

102 patients with EGFR-mutated NSCLC who acquired EGFR-TKI resistance not due to a secondary T790M mutation of EGFR were randomized 1:1 to nivolumab (n=52) or carboplatin-pemetrexed (n=50).

Adverse events

AEs related to study treatment occurred in 60.8% (grade 3-5, 9.8%) and 82.0% (grade 3-5, 12.0%) of patients in the nivolumab and carboplatin-pemetrexed arms, respectively. The most common AEs of grade 3 or 4 were fatigue and skin toxicity (3.8% each) in the nivolumab arm and neutropenia (32.0%), anemia (28.0%), leukopenia (22.0%), and thrombocytopenia (16.0%) in the carboplatin-pemetrexed arm. Serious AEs were observed in 25.5% and 16.0% of patients in the nivolumab and carboplatin-pemetrexed arms, respectively. Treatment discontinuation due to AEs occurred in 3 patients in the nivolumab arm (2 with arthritis and 1 with bilirubin increased) and 7 patients in the carboplatin-pemetrexed arm (2 each with renal failure and hepatic dysfunction as well as 1 each with anaphylactic shock, severe fatigue, and thromboembolism). There was 1 case of treatment-related interstitial lung disease (ILD) of grade 1 in the nivolumab arm. Treatment-related death was not apparent in either arm.

Outcome measures

Median PFS and 1-year PFS probability were 1.7 months and 9.6% for nivolumab versus 5.6 months and 14.0% for carboplatin-pemetrexed [log-rank P < 001; hazard ratio (HR) of 1.92, with a 60% confidence interval (CI) of 1.61-2.29]. Overall survival was 20.7 and 19.9 months [HR = 0.88 (95% CI, 0.53-1.47)], and response rate was 9.6% and 36.0% for nivolumab and carboplatin-pemetrexed, respectively.
Adverse events were no different than in previous studies of the same treatment. Interstitial pneumonia was seen in only one patient in the nivolumab arm (G1).
No subgroup including patients with a high tumor mutation burden showed a substantially longer PFS with nivolumab than with carboplatin-pemetrexed. The T cell-inflamed gene expression profile score (0.11 versus - 0.17, P = 0.036) and expression of genes related to cytotoxic T lymphocytes or their recruitment were higher in tumors that showed a benefit from nivolumab.
