1 Present state of the art of immune checkpoint inhibitors in oncology John Haanen, MD PhD ESMO Advanced course in Immuno-oncology, Amsterdam Febr 2018

2 Disclosures I have provided consultation, attended advisory boards, and/or provided lectures for: Pfizer, MSD, BMS, IPSEN, Novartis, Roche/Genentech, NEON Therapeutics and Gadeta, for which NKI received honoraria Through my work NKI received grant support from BMS, MSD, Novartis, and NEON Therapeutics I declare no conflict of interest

3 Immune Checkpoint inhibitors Immune checkpoints play an important role in immune tolerance Cancer hijacks many of these peripheral tolerance mechanism to escape the immune system Inhibition of a single immune checkpoint can be enough to break this cancer induced tolerance (anti-ctla4, anti-pd-1/pd-l1) Combination of some of these inhibitors appear more powerful

26 Conclusions Nivolumab showed a clinically and statistically significant improvement in RFS vs the active control of high-dose ipilimumab for patients with resected stages IIIB/IIIC and stage IV melanoma at high risk of recurrence (HR = 0.65, P < ) 18-month RFS rates were 66% for nivolumab and 53% for ipilimumab Benefit for nivolumab was observed across the majority of prespecified subgroups tested, including PD-L1 and BRAF mutation status Nivolumab has a superior safety profile in comparison with ipilimumab, with fewer grade 3/4 AEs and fewer AEs leading to treatment discontinuation Nivolumab has the potential to be a new standard treatment option for patients with resected stage IIIB, IIIC, and IV melanoma regardless of BRAF mutation

In addition, pneumonitis, as reported in the table, is a grouped term, which includes acute interstitial pneumonitis, interstitial lung disease, pneumonitis, and pulmonary fibrosis. Two patients randomized to placebo received at least one dose of durvalumab and were considered part of the durvalumab arm for safety reporting. Antonia et al., NEJM 2017

36 Summary Durvalumab demonstrated a statistically significant and robust improvement in PFS versus placebo (HR 0.52; P<0.0001; median improvement of >11 months) at a planned interim analysis PFS improvement with durvalumab was observed across all prespecified subgroups Durvalumab demonstrated a clinically meaningful benefit in ORR (28.4% vs 16.0%; P<0.001), with durable responses versus placebo (median DoR not reached vs 13.8 months) Patients receiving durvalumab had a lower incidence of new lesions, including new brain metastases, compared with patients receiving placebo The safety profile of durvalumab was consistent with that of other immunotherapies and with its known safety profile as monotherapy in patients with more advanced disease; 1 no new safety signals were identified The study remains blinded to OS Antonia et al., NEJM 2017

55 Conclusions (1) Combination of ipilimumab + nivolumab is highly effective in patients with metastatic melanoma with ORR of 58.9%, PFS of 11.7 months and 2 year OS rate of 58%

56 Conclusions (2) NIVO+IPI and NIVO significantly improved OS and PFS vs. IPI alone in patients with untreated advanced melanoma In descriptive analyses, NIVO+IPI resulted in numerically higher OS, PFS and ORR vs. NIVO alone Results consistently favored NIVO+IPI across clinically relevant subgroups, including PD-L1 expression <5% or <1%, mutant BRAF, and elevated LDH Although similar prolongation of OS was observed with NIVO and NIVO+IPI for PD-L1 expression 5% or 1%, NIVO+IPI resulted in higher ORR regardless of PD-L1 expression For NIVO+IPI, median DOR and time to subsequent therapy are still not reached The safety profile of the combination showed high rate of grade 3-4 IR toxicity, but early discontinuation due to AEs did not preclude benefit

81 Rationale for combining atezolizumab + bevacizumab In addition to its known anti-angiogenic effects, bevacizumab s inhibition of VEGF has immune modulatory effects 3. Priming and activation (APCs and T cells) 4. Trafficking of T cells to tumours (CTLs) Normalisation of the tumour vasculature for increased T-cell tumour infiltraton 4-7 Promotion of T-cell priming and activation via dendritic cell maturation Infiltration of T cells into tumours (CTLs, endothelial cells) 2. Cancer antigen presentation (dendritic cells/ APCs) 1. Release of cancer cell antigens (cancer cell death) 7. Killing of cancer cells (immune and cancer cells) 6. Recognition of cancer cells by T cells (CTLs, cancer cells) Establishing an immune-permissive tumour microenvironment by decreasing MDSC and Treg populations 7-11 Atezolizumab s T-cell mediated cancer cell killing may be enhanced through bevacizumab s reversal of VEGF-mediated immunosuppression 1.

Teff-low WT a Low T-effector gene signature expression EGFR/ALK + (13% of patients) 1 Co-primary objectives Investigator-assessed PFS in ITT-WT Investigator-assessed PFS in Teff-high WT OS in ITT-WT The T-effector (Teff) gene signature is defined by expression of PD-L1, CXCL9 and IFNγ and is a surrogate of both PD-L1 IHC expression and pre-existing immunity (Kowanetz M, et al. WCLC, 2017). Reck M, et al. IMpower150 PFS analysis.

84 Biomarkers in IMpower150 IMpower150 provided the opportunity to evaluate multiple strategies to enrich for PFS, including T-effector (Teff) gene signature expression and PD-L1 IHC The Teff gene signature is defined by mrna expression of 3 genes (PD- L1, CXCL9 and IFNγ) and is a surrogate for both PD-L1 expression and pre-existing immunity In the OAK study, the Teff gene signature appeared to be a more sensitive biomarker of PFS benefit for monotherapy atezolizumab vs docetaxel than PD-L1 IHC expression 1 PD-L1 expression was evaluated using the SP142 IHC assay, as defined in the Phase III OAK study of atezolizumab vs docetaxel 2 1.
