Concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CRT) followed by maintenance treatment with the PD-L1 inhibitor durvalumab is a new standard of care for inoperable stage III NSCLC. The present study compares the oncological outcome of patients treated with CRT to those treated with CRT and durvalumab (CRT-IO) in the real-world setting. The analysis was performed based on the retro- and prospectively collected data of 144 consecutive inoperable stage III NSCLC patients treated between 2011–2020. Local-regional-progression-free-survival (LRPFS—defined as progression in the mediastinum, hilum and/or supraclavicular region at both sites and the involved lung), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS) were evaluated from the last day of thoracic radiotherapy (TRT). Median follow-up for the entire cohort was 33.1 months (range: 6.3–111.8) and median overall survival was 27.2 (95% CI: 19.5–34.9) months. In the CRT-IO cohort after a median follow-up of 20.9 (range: 6.3–27.4) months, median PFS was not reached, LRPFS (p = 0.002), PFS (p = 0.018), and OS (p = 0.005) were significantly improved vs. the historical cohort of conventional CRT patients. After propensity-score matching (PSM) analysis with age, gender, histology, tumor volume, and treatment mode, and exact matching for T-and N-stage, 22 CRT-IO patients were matched 1:2 to 44 CRT patients. Twelve-month LRPFS, PFS, and OS rates in the CRT-IO vs. CRT cohort were 78.9 vs. 45.5% (p = 0.002), 60.0 vs. 31.8% (p = 0.007), and 100 vs. 70.5% (p = 0.003), respectively. This real-world analysis demonstrated that durvalumab after CRT led to significant improvement of local-regional control, PFS, and OS in PD-L1 expressing inoperable stage III NSCLC patients compared to a historical cohort.

e20557 Background: The present study evaluates outcome after chemoradiotherapy (CRT) with concurrent and/or sequential Programmed Cell Death 1 (PD-1) or Ligand 1 (PD-L1) immune checkpoint inhibition (CPI) for inoperable stage III NSCLC patients depending on planning target volume (PTV). Methods: Prospective data of thirty-nine consecutive patients with inoperable stage III NSCLC who completed CRT with sequential durvalumab (72%, 28 patients) or concurrent and sequential nivolumab (28%, 11 patients) were analyzed. Different cut offs for PTV as well as PTV as a continuous variable were evaluated for association with progression-free survival (PFS) and extracranial metastasis-free survival (eMFS). Results: All patients were treated with conventionally fractionated TRT to a total dose of at least 60 Gy (range: 60-63.6Gy), 97% (27 patients) received two cycles of concurrent platinum-based chemotherapy. Median follow-up for the entire cohort was 23.2 (range: 6.0-42.6) months; median overall survival (OS) and eMFS were not reached. Median Progression-free survival (PFS) was 22.8 (95% CI: 10.3-35.2) months. Age (65 years), gender and UICC stage had no significant impact on PFS. There was no significant difference between durvalumab and nivolumab patients. Patients with PTV ≥ 900ccm had a significantly shorter PFS (11.77 vs 26.3 months, p = 0.049) and eMFS (11.7 months vs not reached, p = 0.019). Furthermore, patients with PTV ≥ 900ccm and stage IIIC disease (TNM 8th Ed.) achieved a dismal median PFS of only 3.6 months (vs. 26.3 months p < 0.001). PTV as a continuous variable showed a trend for association with PFS (p = 0.064) and was a significant negative prognosticator for eMFS (p = 0.030; HR: 4.065; 95%CI: 1.148-14.397). Conclusions: PTV has a significant impact on the PFS and eMFS after CRT combined with concurrent and/or sequential CPI in inoperable stage III NSCLC. Patients with PTV ≥ 900ccm had a significantly shorter PFS and eMFS.

7528 Background: We conducted a prospective randomized phase III trial comparing induction chemotherapy followed by concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) versus immediate CCRT to evaluate whether the addition of induction chemotherapy would result in improved survival. Methods: Patients with unresectable stage III NSCLC, ECOG PS 0–1, and weight loss up to 10% were eligible. They were randomized to receive either induction chemotherapy followed by CCRT (arm A) or immediate CCRT (arm B) after stratification for stage (T4N0–2, T1–3N3, T4N3, and stage IIIA), histology (squamous vs non-squamous), and SCLN positivity. Induction chemotherapy consisted of two cycles of gemcitabine (1,000 mg/m2 D1, D8) and cisplatin (70 mg/m2 D1) q 21days. Chemotherapy during CCRT consisted of 6 cycles of weekly paclitaxel (50 mg/m2) and cisplatin (20 mg/m2). Radiation therapy performed with hypofractionated scheme (2.2 Gy/fraction, once a day) and total dose was 66 Gy. Irradiated volume encompassed gross tumor plus 1.0 cm margin. Results: Between March 2003 and June 2006, 134 patients were enrolled. 92% of patients were male and 60% were age 60 or older. Objective tumor response was obtained in 38% after induction chemotherapy. Response rates after completion of CCRT were 72% (95% CI, 61%–83%) on arm A and 79% (95% CI, 69%–89%) on arm B. Grade 3/4 toxicities during induction chemotherapy consisted mainly of neutropenia (11%/3%). During CCRT, grade 3/4 neutropenia was noted in 8%/5% (arm A) versus in 8%/0% (arm B), grade 3 anemia was 8% vs 0%, grade 3 thrombocytopenia 5% vs 0%, and grade 3 esophagitis 16% vs 16%. At median follow-up of 28 months, median survival was 12.6 months (95% CI, 8.6–16.7 months) on arm A versus 18.2 months (95% CI, 11.7–24.8 months) on arm B (P=0.18). Two year survival estimates was 25% (15%–35%) and 43% (31%–55%), respectively. Median progression free survival was 7.5 months (95% CI, 5.6–9.4 months) on arm A and 11.6 months (95% CI, 9.6–13.6 months) on arm B (P=0.04). Conclusions: The addition of induction chemotherapy to CCRT failed to increase the survival of unresectable stage III NSCLC over immediate CCRT. Moreover, the progression free survival was inferior to immediate CCRT. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

BackgroundChemoradiotherapy (CRT) followed by maintenance treatment with the PD-L1 inhibitor durvalumab is a new standard of care for inoperable stage III NSCLC. The present study aims to evaluate the oncological outcome of patients treated with CRT alone to those treated with CRT and durvalumab (CRT-IO) in the real-world setting.MethodsRetro- and prospectively collected data of 133 consecutive inoperable stage III NSCLC patients treated between 2011–2019 were evaluated. Local-regional-recurrence-free-survival (LRPFS - defined as progression in the mediastinum, hilum and/or supraclavicular region at both sides and the involved lung), progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were evaluated from last day of thoracic radiotherapy (TRT).ResultsMedian age at diagnosis was 68.5 years; 44 (33%) were female; 58 (44%) were diagnosed with adenocarcinoma. All patients were irradiated to a total dose of at least 60 Gy (EQD2). Median PTV was 709.8 cc (range: 181–1958 cc). 113 (85%) patients were treated with CRT and 20 (15%) PD-L1 expressing patients with CRT-IO. 83% of patients received two cycles of concomitant platinum-based chemotherapy. Median time to initiation of durvalumab after CRT was 0.8 months (range: 0.4–2.1). Median follow-up for entire cohort was 33.3 months (range: 4.8–111.8) and median overall survival (OS) was 24.7 (95% CI: 18.9–30.4) months. In the CRT-IO cohort after a median follow-up of 15.5 (range: 5.1–20.2) months, no deaths were reported at the time of evaluation (August 2020). Improved LRPFS (p=0.013), PFS (p=0.033) and OS (p=0.002) were correlated with CRT-IO compared to the historical cohort of conventional CRT patients.After propensity-score matching (PSM) analysis with age, gender, histology, tumor volume and treatment mode and exact matching for T-and N-stage, 18 CRT-IO patients were matched 1:2 to 36 CRT patients. 12-month LRPFS, PFS and OS rates in the CRT-IO vs CRT cohort were 80% vs 38.8% (p=0.001), 50% vs 22% (p=0.013) and 100% vs 75% (p=0.002), respectively. Also regarding intracranial failure, 6-month brain metastases rates were 0% vs. 6% in the CRT-IO vs CRT cohort (p=0.290).ConclusionsThis real-world analysis demonstrates that durvalumab after CRT has led to significant improvement of local-regional control, PFS and OS in PD-L1 expressing inoperable stage III NSCLC patients compared to a historical cohort.AcknowledgementsThe study was partly presented at 2020 Annual Meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO).Trial RegistrationN/AEthics ApprovalThe study was approved by Ludwig-Maximilians-University (LMU), Munich, Germany: Institution’s Ethics Board, approval number 17-230.ConsentWritten informed consent was obtained from the patient for publication of this abstract and any accompanying images.

18123 Background: Concurrent chemoradiotherapy is standard of care for unresectable patients and the most widely cited trials include the locally advanced multi-modality protocol (LAMP) study, SWOG S9019 and S9504. Our institutional approach represents a merger between the protocols utilized in two of these phase II studies: chemoradiotherapy from the LAMP study and consolidation therapy from SWOG S9504. Methods: We identified all stage III patients treated at the NF/SG VHS from Jan 2001 to Dec 2005. Eligible patients who had unresectable stage III NSCLC were included in the analysis. We treated 34 patients with weekly paclitaxel 45 mg/m2 plus carboplatin AUC 2 and concurrent TRT 63.0 Gy over 7 weeks. Four weeks after the completion of chemoradiotherapy, docetaxel 75 mg/m2 was given every 3 weeks for 21 days for 3 cycles as consolidation. Our primary endpoints were overall and progression free survival. The secondary endpoints were response rate and toxicity. Results: With a median age of 65 years and follow-up time of 25.9 months, median overall survival was 13.7 mos. Median progression free survival was 9.8 mos. The overall response rate was 68% including 5 CRs (15%). The most common grade 3/4 toxicities included pneumonitis (21%), esophagitis (21%), neutropenia (21%) [febrile neutropenia (9%)], neuropathy (18%), anemia (15%) and hypersensitivity to paclitaxel (9%). 62% of patients were able to complete the planned treatment. There were no treatment related deaths. At the time of this analysis, 9 patients were alive (26%) including 7 without progression (21%). Conclusions: Chemoradiotherapy with weekly carboplatin and paclitaxel followed by consolidation therapy with docetaxel is associated with comparable outcomes to other combined modality regimens. Given the advanced age and co-morbidities of our population, this regimen was generally well tolerated with the expected toxicities and can be considered as an option in the treatment of patients with unresectable stage III NSCLC.
