Abstract

Abstract : Introduction/Background: Dostarlimab is an approved programmed death 1 (PD-1) inhibitor. PD-1 therapy can lead to immune-related adverse events (irAEs). Here we report on the management of irAEs across multiple tumour types evaluated in GARNET. Methodology: GARNET is a multicentre, open-label, single-arm phase 1 study with dose expansion in multiple tumour types: mismatch repair deficient solid tumours, mismatch repair proficient endometrial cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, and platinum-resistant ovarian cancer. Patients received 500 mg of dostarlimab intravenously Q3W for 4 cycles, then 1000 mg Q6W until disease progression, discontinuation, or withdrawal. Results: At this third interim analysis of GARNET, the safety population included 605 patients. irAEs were experienced by 32.2%, with 10.1% of patients experiencing grade ≥3 irAEs ( table 1 ). Few, 5.5%, discontinued treatment because of an irAE. No irAEs led to death. Of patients experiencing irAEs, 64.6% were treated with immune modulatory medications (IMMs; referring to steroids, immune suppressant, and/or thyroid therapy); 58.7% of these patients experienced resolution. Average time to resolution was 69 days. For the 35.4% of patients not treated with IMMs, 56.5% experienced a resolution. Average time to resolution was 67 days. The most common irAEs were hypothyroidism (7.6%; 45 of 46 [97.8%] patients treated with thyroid therapy) and arthralgia (5.6%; 8 of 34 [23.5%] patients treated with steroids). Conclusion: Across all tumour types evaluated in GARNET, 32.2% of patients experienced irAEs, 68.7% of whom experienced grade 2 events. 58.7% of patients experienced resolution of irAEs upon treatment with an IMM. Overall discontinuation due to irAEs was low.
