Abstract:
441 Background: Nivolumab (nivo) is an approved 2 nd line treatment after platinum-based chemotherapy in metastatic urothelial carcinoma (mUC). Recent studies suggest improved outcomes for dual checkpoint inhibition in mUC in particular with higher ipilimumab (ipi) doses (nivo 1mg/kg + ipi 3mg/kg). TITAN-TCC uses a response-based approach starting with 4 doses of nivo (8 weeks) followed by nivo+ipi boosts in non-responders. Here we report cohort 2 of TITAN-TCC applying nivo1/ipi3 boost doses in patients after prior platinum-based chemotherapy (2 nd /3 rd line). Methods: Between April 2019 and February 2021 83 patients with histologically confirmed mUC (TITAN-TCC cohort 2) started with nivo 240mg Q2W induction. After 4 doses and tumor assessment at week 8 (i) non-responders (stable (SD)/ progressive disease (PD)) received 2-4 doses nivo1+ipi3 while (ii) responders (complete (CR)/ partial response (PR)) continued with nivo maintenance but could receive nivo1+ipi3 for later PD. Primary endpoint was confirmed investigator-assessed ORR per RECIST1.1. Using a Fleming single-stage phase II design 77 evaluable patients would provide a 90% power to reject the null-hypothesis that ORR was ≤20% at a one-sided 5% type I error if the true ORR was ≥35%. Secondary endpoints included activity of nivo monotherapy at week 8, remission rate with nivo+ipi boosts, progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and safety. Results: Median follow-up time was 5.6 months. Of the patients, 78 (94%) were 2 nd line. Median age was 68 years (range 37-84) and 57 patients (69%) were male. ORR with nivo monotherapy at first assessment (week 8) was 20.5%. Of the patients, 44 and 6 received nivo+ipi boosts after week 8 and for later PD, respectively. Confirmed objective response with nivo induction ± nivo+ipi boosts was achieved in 27/83 (32.5%) of the patients (significant 〉 20%, p 〈 0.01). Patients with PD-L1 expression in ≥1% of tumor cells had a numerically higher ORR (46% vs. 24% for PD-L1 negatives). Of the patients with initial SD after nivo induction, 4/13 (31%) achieved response upon boost. Of the patients boosted for PD, 9/37 (24%) improved. Median PFS was 1.9 months (95% CI 1.8-3.2), median OS was 7.6 months (95% CI 5.1-14.9). No new safety signals emerged. Conclusions: In patients after prior platinum-based chemotherapy treatment with nivo and nivo+ipi boosts in non-responders significantly improved ORR compared to the one reported for nivo as 2 nd line monotherapy. Patients with PD-L1 positive tumors appear to benefit most. Our study provides further evidence for the added value of high dose (3mg/kg) ipilimumab in mUC.
