Cohort G of the KEYNOTE-021 study (ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT02039674) was an open-label, randomized phase 2 trial of pembrolizumab plus pemetrexed-carboplatin (PC) vs PC alone in patients with previously untreated advanced nonsquamous NSCLC Primary analysis (minimum 6-month follow-up; median, 10.6 months) 1 Significant improvements in ORR (55% vs 29%; P = 0.0016) and PFS (HR, 0.53; P = 0.010) HR for OS, 0.90 (P = 0.39) ASCO updated analysis (median follow up, 14.5 months) 2 Improvements in ORR and PFS maintained HR for OS, 0.69 (P = 0.13) KEYNOTE-021 Cohort G Manageable safety profile in both analyses Pembrolizumab plus pemetrexed-carboplatin has received accelerated approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for treatment of first-line nonsquamous NSCLC This presentation reports updated efficacy/safety with 5 additional months of follow-up (median, 18.7 months) 1.

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 sa fety reporting.

Conclusions 1) In a randomized phase II trial in patients with advanced NSCLC, the addition of pembrolizumab was associated with improved PFS and OS, a) Associated increases in toxicity were largely Grade I/II b) Results of phase III trial are awaited 2) In a placebo, controlled phase III trial, durvalumab treatment was associated with improved PFS in patients with Stage III NSCLC after prior chemoradiotherapy a) Expected immune related toxicities were seen, along with an increase in radiation pneumonitis, predominantly Grade I/II b) Overall survival results are pending

Implications for Clinical Practice 1) The addition of immune checkpoint therapy in combination with chemotherapy in stage IV NSCLC or sequentially after chemoradiotherapy will be practice changing. 2) Extrapolation to other cancers should await well conducted controlled clinical trials. 3) To better understand the adverse event profile of combined strategies large phase IV trials and registries are needed.
