7059 Background: Preliminary data suggests that immune-related adverse events (irAEs) are associated with lower all-cause mortality, presumably due to improved anti-tumor responses. Investigations of large cohorts are needed to establish better understanding of that association. Methods: We reviewed the Mayo Clinic database for all patients who received an immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI). The primary outcome was all-cause mortality. Descriptive and uni-variate analyses were generated. Results: Between March, 2010 and July, 2019, 3,326 patients received an ICI. The most common irAEs were colitis (287, 8.6%), pneumonitis (238, 7.2%) and hepatitis (227, 6.9%). A total of 933 (28.1%) patients developed at least 1 irAE and 176 (5.3%) patients experienced 2 or more irAEs. Survival analysis demonstrated an association between the number of irAEs and all-cause mortality (log-rank, P < 0.0001), a relationship which was maintained for the 3 most common cancer types (lung, melanoma, renal) and for the individual ICI agents. In patients with lung cancer, colitis (P = 0.04) but not pneumonitis (P = 0.83) was associated with improved overall survival. No association between irEA and all-cause mortality was demonstrated in patients with history of stroke (log-rank, P = 0.12), peripheral artery disease (PAD) (log-rank, P = 0.68) and obesity (log-rank, P = 0.18). In an analysis of pre-ICI body-mass index (BMI), an association between irAE and lower overall mortality was shown in patients with BMI < 30 (log-rank, P < 0.001) and not in those with higher BMIs (log-rank, P = 0.09). The presence of stroke, PAD and obesity were associated with higher all-cause mortality in a survival analysis (P < 0.001). The irAE-mortality association was not modulated by the presence hypertension (log-rank, P < 0.0001), diabetes mellitus (log-rank, P < 0.0001), or heart failure (log-rank, P = 0.006). Conclusions: The development of any irAE is associated with higher overall survival. The presence of numerous cardiovascular disease states neutralizes that association, likely a result of competing causes of mortality although interaction with immune or inflammatory pathways is possible. In addition, pneumonitis is not associated with better overall survival in patients with lung cancer presumably due to compromise of already-tenuous respiratory status.
