Abstract
Background: EMPOWER-Lung 4 is a phase II study evaluating
cemiplimab monotherapy, and combination therapy with cemiplimab +
ipilimumab, as 2L treatment in patients (pts) with advanced NSCLC and
programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) <50%.We previously reported
on this study, showing that numerically better objective response rates
(ORR) were observed with cemiplimab + ipilimumab vs cemiplimab monotherapy. Here, we present follow-up data including survival
outcomes not previously reported.
Methods: Pts received cemiplimab 350 mg every 3 weeks (Q3W) (Arm
A); or cemiplimab 350 mg Q3W plus ipilimumab 50 mg every 6 weeks
(Arm B); or cemiplimab 1050 mg Q3W (Arm C), for up to 108 weeks or
until progression. Primary endpoint was ORR per independent review
committee (IRC). Data cut-off was 30 Jun 2020.
Results: Of 28 pts enrolled, 27 received treatment (Arm A, n = 8;ArmB, n
= 11; and Arm C, n = 8). Median duration of treatment exposurewas 10.8
(Arm A), 17.9 (Arm B) and 10.8 (Arm C)weeks. Median follow-upwas 2.6
(Arm A), 17.4 (Arm B) and 3.9 (Arm C) months. ORR (95% confidence
interval [CI]) remained unchanged since the previous report: 0% (0.0–
36.9%) in Arm A, 45.5% (16.7–76.6%) in Arm B, and 11.1% (0.3–48.2%)
in Arm C, with a median duration of response not reached (NR) in Arm B
and 11.2 months in Arm C. Median overall survival (OS) (95% CI) per IRC
was 5.1 months (1.7–not evaluable [NE]) in Arm A, NR (2.2–NE) in Arm B
and 8.4 months (0.3–NE) in Arm C. Median progression-free survival
(PFS)(95%CI) per IRCwas 2.0months (0.7–8.3) inArmA,NR(1.2–NE)in
ArmBand 1.8 months (0.3–12.7) inArmC. Grade≥3 treatment-emergent
adverse events (AEs) occurred in 25.0% (Arm A), 72.7% (Arm B) and
75.0%(ArmC) of pts. Across all arms, increased alanine aminotransferase
was the only Grade ≥3 immune-related AE reported in >1 pt (n = 2
[18.2%]; both in Arm B).
Conclusions: This follow-up analysis which includes OS/PFS data shows
that combination of ipilimumab 50 mg with cemiplimab 350 mg
provides additional survival improvement in pts with advanced NSCLC
and PD-L1 <50%. Moreover, consistency in ORR with the previous
analysis demonstrates durability of responses to cemiplimab 350 mg +
ipilimumab 50 mg.
