Abstract

Abstract: Background: N is an oral triple angiokinase inhibitor approved in 61 countries for use with D to treat locally advanced, metastatic or locally recurrent adenocarcinoma NSCLC after first-line chemotherapy (CT). Several immunotherapies are also now approved in various indications in advanced NSCLC, but limited data are available regarding outcomes with N + D after immunotherapy treatment. Methods: LUME-BioNIS is a European, prospective, multicentre, non-interventional study of patients (pts) with advanced adenocarcinoma NSCLC who initiated N + D after first-line CT in routine practice according to the approved N EU label. Information on dates of progression (based on clinical assessment or Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors) and death and adverse events (AEs) was collected via an electronic case report form. The primary endpoint was overall survival (OS). A subgroup analysis was conducted to evaluate outcomes in pts with prior immunotherapy. Results: In the 67 pts with prior immunotherapy, median age was 63 years and 27 pts (40.3%) were female. Prior immunotherapy was given in first line in 20 pts (29.9%) and in later lines in 47 pts (70.1%). The most common immunotherapies were nivolumab (39 pts; 58.2%), atezolizumab (13 pts; 19.4%) and pembrolizumab (11 pts; 16.4%). N + D was given in second line in 10 pts (14.9%) and in later lines in 57 pts (85.1%). Median progression-free survival (PFS) was 4.6 months (95% confidence interval [CI]: 3.5–5.7) and median OS was 8.8 months (95% CI: 7.0–11.5). In 65 pts evaluable for safety, the most common on-treatment AEs were malignant neoplasm progression (18 pts; 27.7%), diarrhoea (21 pts; 32.3%), nausea (10 pts; 15.4%) and vomiting (7 pts; 10.8%). Conclusion: Used according to the approved N label in routine practice, N + D showed clinically relevant effectiveness, with no unexpected safety findings, in pts with prior immunotherapy and CT. The observed median PFS and OS of 4.6 and 8.8 months, respectively, are encouraging, given the use of N + D in third or later lines in 85.1% of pts. These data add to the real-world evidence that can inform clinical decision-making in the changing therapeutic landscape. Clinical trial identification: NCT02671422.
