Abstract

2641 Background: Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors (ICI) have revolutionized current cancer treatment. Nevertheless, outcomes data across various patient cohorts are lacking. To address this knowledge gap, we conducted a comprehensive analysis of real-world data (RWD) that included patient cohorts traditionally underrepresented in clinical trials. Methods: We identified patients (pts) treated with ICI (anti-CTLA-4, anti-PD(L)1 or their combination at 6 US academic and community hospitals from 1/2011 – 4/2018. Clinical data obtained from EHR and CTCAE V4.03 was used to define immune-related adverse events (irAEs). Results: A total of 1332 pts treated with 1443 unique ICI treatments were included in the cohort. The median age was 66 (21-87), Male 58% (827), Caucasian 70% (1004), African American (AA) 16% (232), other race 14% (207), ECOG PS 0,1 79% (1130), chronic viral infection 5% [hepatitis B (24), hepatitis C (32) and HIV (17)], with BMI > 30 22% (287) and autoimmune disease (AID) 15% (215). Lung cancer (NSCLC) 34% (423), and melanoma 27% (389) were top 2 tumor types and nivolumab 38% (544), pembrolizumab 23% (332), and ipilimumab plus nivolumab 12% (180) were the most common ICI treatments. Overall survival (OS) was worse for patients with ECOG ≥2 (0.34 - 0.63) vs. ECOG 0,1 (1.27 - 1.73, P 75 27% (120), AA 28% (124), Female 50% (224), ECOG PS ≥2 23% (104), BMI >30 15% (62), chronic viral infections 10% (44), and AID 14% (62). The ICI therapies were nivolumab 55% (245), pembrolizumab 23% (102), and atezolizumab 6% (27) and 16% (others). Data is contained in the table. Conclusions: Overall, in our RWD, OS appeared to be similar across above cohorts except poor OS for pts with ECOG ≥2. irAEs also appeared to be similar across cohorts except less with ECOG ≥2. In NSCLC cohort, we noted similar findings except less irAEs in Male cohort. Prospective studies are needed to confirm the above findings.[Table: see text]
