Popis: 83 Background: Concurrent chemotherapy (CTX) with checkpoint inhibitors (CPI) has become a new standard of care for treatment naïve stage IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Little is known about the timing and pattern of immune-related adverse events (irAEs) when CTX and CPI are combined. We sought to characterize irAEs and determine if combination CTX+CPI affects time to first irAE in comparison to patients (pts) receiving CPI alone. Methods: Advanced NSCLC patients who received at least one dose of a CPI at our institution between 2015 and 2018, either alone or with CTX, were identified. Retrospective review for occurrence of irAEs and clinical outcomes was performed. Proportional hazards models were used to assess time to first irAE for CPI vs CTX+CPI and overall survival (OS) for CPI alone. Results: 149 pts were identified. 112 pts received CPI alone and 37 received CTX+CPI. The proportion of pts with at least 1 irAE was higher in the combination therapy group than the monotherapy group (59% vs 34% of patients). Time to any grade first irAE was shorter with CTX+CPI vs CPI alone (6.0 m vs 36.7 m, HR 1.8, p = 0.0304). Among pts treated with CPI alone, OS was significantly longer with any irAE (38.0 m vs 11.4 m, HR 2.9, p = 0.0026). While there were more irAEs in the CTX+CPI cohort, the frequency of irAEs by organ system was similar to previous reports. Conclusions: For patients receiving CTX+CPI, there is an increased risk of irAEs and a significantly shorter time to first irAE occurrence compared to CPI alone. Among patients receiving CPI alone, the presence of irAE was associated with a 3-fold improvement in OS. Further analysis of OS for the CTX+CPI group is planned with additional follow-up.
