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]
