Abstract:
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) have improved outcomes in a subset of patients with lung cancer. However, data describing the efficacy of ICI in lung cancer brain metastasis (LCBM) is limited. We analyzed overall survival (OS) in patients with LCBM treated with upfront ICI, defined as having received ICI within 90-days of LCBM diagnosis, compared to non-ICI therapies. METHODS We reviewed 665 patients with LCBM diagnosed between 2000 and 2018 at a major tertiary care institution. Of those patients, 240 received ICI, 164 of which received ICI after 90-days and 76 received ICI within 90-days. Propensity score (PS) was calculated by logistic regression model including age, KPS, number of baseline brain lesions, and presence of extra-cranial metastasis (ECM) at time of LCBM diagnosis. OS from LCBM diagnosis between PS matched cohorts were compared using Kaplan-Meier, the Log-Rank test, and Cox proportional hazards models. RESULTS Prior to PS matching, median survival between ICI and non-ICI cohorts was not significantly different (10.9 months for both, p=0.81), although more ICI patients had ECM (57.1% vs 40.9%, p=0.006). Following PS matching, the ICI (n=76) and non-ICI (n=76) cohorts had median age (62.4 vs 62.3 years), KPS (80 for both), lesion number (2 for both), and ECM (56.6% for both). Of matched patients, 94% received SRS, 52% received WBRT, and 29% underwent surgical resection. Compared to non-ICI, the ICI cohort had a 2-year OS hazard ratio=0.87 (95% CI=0.58–1.31, p=0.51). Median and 1-year survival were not significantly different between ICI and non-ICI cohorts (median: 10.9 vs 9.1 months; 1-yr: 43.0% vs 42.4%). CONCLUSION Patients with LCBM who received ICI within 90-days of their diagnosis did not have improvement in OS compared to patients who received non-ICI therapies. Evaluation of clinical factors that may affect the efficacy and durability of immunotherapy is ongoing and will be presented.
