PFS & OS according to Histology In the PHASED-ipilimumab arm, improvement in irpfs, mwho-pfs and OS versus control appeared greater for squamous histology than for non-squamous Not the same trend in the concurrent-ipilimumab arm Modified by Brahmer, ASCO 2013

Based on December 2014 DBL. Includes events reported between first dose and 30 days after last dose of study therapy. Within each time interval, patients with 1 event were counted only once in each category but could be classified into more than one category Reckamp K ORAL02.01

Non-synonymous mutations per tumor Smart Cancer Multiple mutational drivers Large Mutational load Multi-targeted therapy Resistance common, early Stupid Cancer NON-ONCOGENE ADDICTION Single Dominant Mutation Small Mutational Load Monotherapy is effective Resistance rare, late ONCOGENE ADDICTION
Large Mutational Load? Luo Cell 2009
Large Mutational Load? Wolchok JD, Chan T, Nature 2014
Topalian S, ASCO 2015
A high mutational burden increased the likelihood of the development of specific neoepitopes that would confer clinical benefit from CTLA-4 blockade. In the era of immunotherapy, genetic diversity of cancer may, in fact, be a good thing. Snyder A, NEJM 2014 Boussiotis VA, NEJM 2014
Slide 32 Modified - Topalian S, ASCO 2015
Conclusions Immunotherapy may represent a new treatment opportunity for the treatment of lung cancer in general, and represents an appealing option for tumors with a high mutational load A new standard for Squamous came out Non oncogene-addicted Adenocarcinoma is going to have a new treatment option Intriguing perspectives for SCLC The potential key role of predictive biomarkers is under investigation according to histology NIVO improves OS regardless of PD-L1 in Squamous NIVO improves OS according to PD-L1 in nonsqcc PD-L1 expression may allow to optimize treatment efficacy for non-squamous histology Challenging issues SAFETY: pay attention to immunorelated toxicities ACTIVITY: immunorelated response criteria vs traditional WHO criteria
