CheckMate 153: Continuous vs 1-Year Nivolumab
Summary
• CheckMate 153 is the first randomized study to evaluate duration of therapy with
a PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor
• Among patients still on nivolumab at 1 year, PFS was significantly improved for
those treated continuously vs stopping: PFS HR = 0.42 (95% CI: 0.25, 0.71)
• OS HR = 0.63 (95% CI: 0.33, 1.20), showing a trend favoring continuous
nivolumab; follow-up for OS is ongoing
• The frequency of treatment-related AEs was numerically higher with continuous
vs 1-year treatment, but overall, few new-onset events occurred after 1 year

Background
•Nivolumab, an anti–programmed death (PD)-1 antibody, is approved in many countries for the treatment of patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and disease progression during or after platinum-based chemotherapy1,2
•Approval was based on data from 2 pivotal phase 3 trials in previously treated patients with squamous (SQ) NSCLC (CheckMate 017) or non-SQ NSCLC (CheckMate 057), which showed nivolumab significantly prolonged overall survival (OS) and had a favorable safety profile compared with docetaxel3,4
–Treatment benefit was observed in patients with SQ or non-SQ NSCLC, including those with <1% PD-1 ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression3-6; higher levels of PD-L1 expression were associated with a greater magnitude of benefit in non-SQ NSCLC4
•Here, we present updated efficacy and safety data from CheckMate 017 and CheckMate 057 based on >3 years of follow-up
CheckMate 017 and 057 study designs
aThe protocols of both studies were amended in September 2016, when minimum follow-up was approximately 2.5 years, allowing patients to switch to nivolumab 480 mg Q4W starting 2 weeks after their last 3-mg/kg Q2W dose; bAfter completion of the primary analyses,3,4 patients in the docetaxel arms who ended treatment at any time during the studies were allowed to cross over to nivolumab
ALK = anaplastic lymphoma kinase; ECOG PS = Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status; EGFR = epidermal growth factor receptor; IV = intravenous; LCSS = Lung Cancer Symptom Scale; ORR = objective response rate; PFS = progression-free survival; Q3W = every 3 weeks; TKI = tyrosine kinase inhibitor
Nivolumab 3 mg/kg IV Q2W until progressive disease or
unacceptable toxicity (n = 292)
Docetaxel 75 mg/m2 IV Q3W until progressive disease or

aSelect AEs are those with potential immunologic etiology that require frequent monitoring/intervention; bIncludes events reported between first nivolumab dose and 30 days after last on-study nivolumab dose (3 mg/kg or 480 mg)
Because no patient remained on docetaxel treatment for >2 years, updated safety data are presented in nivolumab-treated patients only
Between 2 and 3 years’ minimum follow-up: 3 new grade 3–4 TRAEs (arthralgia, joint effusion, interstitial lung disease [select TRAE]) were reported
Authors’ Conclusions
After 3 years’ minimum follow-up in the phase 3 CheckMate 017 and 057 studies:
• Nivolumab continued to demonstrate long-term OS and PFS benefit in patients with advanced SQ and non-SQ NSCLC
• 3-year OS rates with nivolumab were 16% in CheckMate 017 and 18% in CheckMate 057
• In CheckMate 017 and CheckMate 057, 26% and 23% of patients who responded to nivolumab, respectively, had ongoing tumor responses
• No new safety signals were identified for nivolumab and rates of TRAEs were similar to those seen at 2 years’ minimum follow-up

Median follow up: 46 months
• PROFILE 1014 (Solomon et al NEJM 2014) was published after approximately 17 months of follow-up (data cutoff date 30 Nov 2013).
• Primary efficacy endpoint (superiority of crizotinib versus chemotherapy in terms of progression-free survival by IRR) was met: HR 0.454 (95% CI: 0.346, 0.596) and p-value <0.0001,
• Median PFS was 10.9 and 7.0 months for crizotinib and chemotherapy treatment, respectively
• ORR was significantly higher with crizotinib than with chemotherapy.
• 74% vs 45%, p<0.001
• With only 26% of all-cause deaths at data cutoff, median OS was not reached in either group at the time of first report.
• Here we report OS and safety of an additional 3 years of follow-up (LSLV 30 Nov 2016).
PROFILE 1014: Background
Solomon BJ, Mok TS, et al. N Engl J Med 2014;371:2167−77
• With a median follow-up of approximately 46 months in both arms, this study has reported one of the highest 4 year survival rate to date for any study of TKIs in patients with Stage IV metastatic NSCLC.
• The difference in OS between crizotinib and chemotherapy arm (HR: 0.760 [95% CI: 0.548, 1.053]) did not reach statistical significance.
• After hypothetical adjustment for crossover (84.2% in chemotherapy arm and 19.2% in crizotinib arm), OS in the crizotinib arm could be significantly longer than in the chemotherapy arm (HR 0.346 [95% bootstrap CI: 0.081, 0.718] log-rank test approach).
• Patients who received crizotinib followed by another ALK-TKI had the longest OS while patients randomized to chemotherapy followed by no ALK-TKI or other treatment had the worst OS.
• No unexpected toxicities were revealed with long-term crizotinib treatment.

ALEX STUDY DESIGN
• Median duration of follow-up: crizotinib arm 17.6 months (range: 0.3–27.0); alectinib arm 18.6 months (range: 0.5–29.0)
• Primary data cut-off: 9 February 2017
• CNS follow-up was conducted for all patients
• Lesions were documented by computed tomography scans, colour photography and MRI, brain scans, using RECIST v1.1

• Alectinib showed significantly superior CNS activity versus crizotinib in patients with CNS disease both with/without prior CNS RT across multiple CNS endpoints in previously untreated advanced ALK+ NSCLC
• alectinib significantly prolonged PFS in patients with and without CNS disease at baseline (HR 0.40, 95% CI 0.25–0.64; p<0.0001 and HR 0.51, 95% CI 0.33–0.80; p=0.0024, respectively) compared with crizotinib
• alectinib significantly improved intracranial ORR compared with crizotinib, irrespective of RT (alectinib: 85.7% versus crizotinib: 71.4% and alectinib: 78.6% versus crizotinib: 40.0%)
• duration of CNS response with alectinib was longer in all patient subgroups than with crizotinib
• At 12 months, 31.3% of crizotinib vs 4.6% of alectinib patients had CNS metastases at the time of first progression suggesting alectinib is protective against the development of CNS progression
• Overall, these CNS results along with the systemic results consolidate alectinib as the new standard of care for patients with previously untreated, advanced ALK+ NSCLC
