e14111 Background: Little is known about the real-world use and survival outcomes of immune checkpoint inhibitors among elderly patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods: Using the SEER-Medicare data, we identified 1,338 patients who were diagnosed with pathologically confirmed stage 1-4 NSCLC between 2002 and 2015 and initiated nivolumab or pembrolizumab in 2016. We examined the association of patient and disease characteristics, and treatment history with overall survival, from initiation through December 31, 2017. We estimated survival curves using the Kaplan-Meier method and identified predictors of survival using multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression. Results: The median age at immune checkpoint inhibitor initiation was 74.8 years. The majority of patients were initially diagnosed with stage 4 disease (42.7%). Median time from diagnosis to initiation were 13.9 and 19.0 months for those initially diagnosed with stage 4 and 1-3 disease, respectively. Median overall survival was 9.5 months. In multivariable analyses, multiple comorbid conditions, squamous histology, history of non-platinum doublet systemic therapy, recent radiation therapy, and shorter time from initial diagnosis to initiation were statistically significantly associated with increased hazard of death (Table). Demographics, stage at initial diagnosis, and prior oral targeted therapy were not significantly associated with the hazard of death. Conclusions: Real-world data show that factors that are generally related to poor prognosis remain predictors of survival in elderly patients treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors.[Table: see text]

Background Non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) accounts for 85–90% of all forms of lung cancer. Immuno-oncology represents a valid new approach but the high cost requires a specific evaluation of the health outcomes. This study describes the real-world efficacy, safety and cost profiles of the new anti-PD-1 immune-checkpoint inhibitors nivolumab and pembrolizumab on a cohort of 56 selected patients with advanced NSCLC. Methods A retrospective, observational analysis was conducted on patients treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors from September 2015 to September 2018 at Azienda Ospedaliera Universitaria “Mater Domini” in Catanzaro, Italy. Data sources were medical records, internal prescription cards and reports of adverse reactions. Results Fifty-six patients were diagnosed with advanced NSCLC, 64.3% characterized by a non-squamous histology, 30.3% squamous and 5.4% not specified. First-line treatment with pembrolizumab was administered to 11 patients for an average of 4.4 months, while 45 patients were treated with nivolumab for an average of 8.6 months. Data showed a survival rate of 95% after 6 months and 88% after 12 months. Most patients received immunotherapy as a second-line or subsequent treatment. In terms of prior therapy among all the patients, 43 had received platinum-based treatments. Indirect comparison with other real-world data studies showed variability in methodologies and an alignment in terms of results. Conclusion This study, based on real-world data, was a first step in the assessment of the impact of the introduction of a significant new class of treatments, i.e. immunotherapy, and covers patients, treatments and outcomes, as well as organizational and economic variables.

Uveal melanoma (UM) is the most common intraocular malignancy in adults and shows a high rate of metastatic spread. As randomized clinical trials with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) have not been performed in patients with metastatic UM, we analyzed the real-world outcomes in a nationwide population-based study. Clinical data of patients with UM were extracted from the Danish Metastatic Melanoma database, a nationwide database containing unselected records of patients diagnosed with metastatic melanoma in Denmark. Survival before (pre-ICI, n = 32) and after (post-ICI, n = 94) the approval of first-line treatment with ICI was analyzed. A partial response to first-line treatment was observed in 7% of patients treated with anti-programmed cell death protein (PD)-1 monotherapy and in 21% with combined anti-cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen (CTLA)-4 plus anti-PD-1 therapy. Median progression-free survival was 2.5 months for patients treated in the pre-ICI era compared to 3.5 months in the post-ICI era (hazard ratio (HR) 0.43; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.28–0.67; p < 0.001). The estimated one-year overall survival rate increased from 25.0% to 41.9% and the median overall survival improved from 7.8 months to 10.0 months, respectively (HR 0.52; 95% CI 0.34–0.79; p = 0.003). Thus, the introduction of ICI as first-line treatment appears to have significantly improved the real-world survival of patients with metastatic UM, despite relatively low response rates compared to cutaneous melanoma. With the lack of therapies proven effective in randomized trials, these data support the current treatment with ICI in patients with metastatic UM.

BackgroundICI revolutionized modern Oncology landscape and being utilized in metastatic to adjuvant and neo-adjuvant settings. As Oncologists, we are treating cancer patients with ICI every day, yet there is still a lot that is unknown about these drugs. We don’t have clear understanding of the efficacy and toxicity when sequencing one ICI for another. We conducted a retrospective review of real world data at Lahey Hospital and Medical Center to understand further and to pave path for prospective studies to understand this issue further to improve patient care.MethodsWe retrospectively reviewed Oncology patient charts who received ICI between January1, 2014 to December 18, 2018. Total 483 patients received ICI during this time frame and 22 of these patients received a second ICI either as monotherapy or in combination with other ICI or chemotherapy.ResultsA total of 22 patients received subsequent ICI after the initial ICI as showed in table 1. 15 of the 22 (68%) patients were transitioned from one ICI to another monotherapy. 11 of these patients were transitioned secondary to disease progression (73%), three had immune related adverse events and one was switched per standard of care. One patient had ICI re-challenge. Three patients had a transition from ICI monotherapy to combination ICI therapy. One patient went onto chemo-immunotherapy and 2 patients transitioned from combination ICI to chemo-immunotherapy.Abstract 284 Table 1Real world data of sequencing immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) after initial ICIConclusionsICI therapy is evolving and patients are being treated with multiple lines of ICI. In current practices, ICI is frequently being transitioned from cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA-4) and programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) or its ligand, programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) classes or combined with chemotherapy or targeted therapy. It would be prudent to explore the effects of sequencing these medications either as a monotherapy or in combination with other therapies to better serve our patients and to prevent financial toxicity.
