Immune checkpoint inhibitors have become the standard of care in the treatment of metastatic non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The combination of nivolumab plus ipilimumab and chemotherapy has been shown to improve outcomes in terms of overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of metastatic NSCLC treated in routine practice on the treatment regimen of the CheckMate 9LA protocol. Medical records of 58 patients treated at Soroka and Bnai Zion Medical Centers between May 2020 and February 2022 were analyzed. All patients were treated with a regimen of platinum-based chemotherapy combined with immunotherapy of nivolumab every three weeks and ipilimumab every 6 weeks. The patients received 2–3 cycles of chemotherapy according to the physician’s choice: platinum-based cisplatin or carboplatin with either pemetrexed or paclitaxel. The median PFS was 10.2 months, longer than that of the 9LA trial (6.7 months). Adenocarcinoma patients exhibited a higher median OS of 13.7 (range 5–33) months than squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) patients at 12.3 (5–20) months and PFS of 10.3 (4–33) months, while squamous cell carcinoma patients had a PFS of 9.2 (4–18) months. Patients whose programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1) tumor expression level was ≥1% showed a higher median OS than those with PD-L1 expression of less than 1%. Treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) were reported in 93.1% of patients, mostly grade 1 in severity. The first-line treatment of metastatic NSCLC patients in combination with nivolumab plus ipilimumab and chemotherapy can be given safely in routine clinical practice, with results comparable to those achieved in clinical trials of the regimen. |
