8094 Background: Patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC) who progress after platinum-based chemotherapy plus immunotherapy have limited options. Whether adding lurbinectedin while continuing immune checkpoint blockade at relapse improves outcomes is unknown. We report results for the platinum-resistant cohort (progression ≤3 months from last chemotherapy) of MC1923. Methods: MC1923 is a phase II trial using a Simon optimal two-stage design. Patients were assigned to a starting dose of durvalumab 1500 mg IV plus lurbinectedin 3.2 mg/m 2 IV on Day 1 of 21-day cycle. The primary endpoint was the 6-month progression-free survival rate (PFS6). Accrual continued to 22 eligible patients if ≥2/9 achieved PFS6; the regimen would be considered promising if ≥7/22 (32%) were alive and progression-free at 6 months. Secondary endpoints included adverse events (AEs), objective response rate (ORR), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS). Results: Twenty-two patients enrolled (02/04/2022–05/21/2025); all were eligible and treated. Median age was 66 years; 32% were male; ECOG performance status was 0 in 9% and 1 in 91%; 96% had prior atezolizumab. Median cycles delivered were 4 (range 1–13). PFS6 was 4/22 (18.2%; 95% CI, 7.5–44.1%), below the prespecified threshold. Median PFS was 3.1 months (95% CI, 1.6–5.3). ORR was 13.6% (3/22; all partial responses; 95% CI, 2.9–34.9%). At data cutoff (12/18/2025), 4 patients were alive; median follow-up was 16.8 months (range 5.5–39.6). Median OS was 7.4 months (95% CI, 4.3–18.6) and 1-year OS was 33.1% (95% CI, 17.6–61.9%). One (1) patient discontinued treatment with durvalumab due to AE. No treatment-related Grade 5 AEs occurred; Grade 3–4 AEs at least possibly related to treatment occurred in 32% (7/22); Grade 4 AEs occurred in 5% (1/22), all hematologic. Most common Grade 3 AEs were decreased neutrophils and white blood cells (each 9%). Conclusions: Durvalumab plus lurbinectedin demonstrated manageable toxicity in platinum-resistant ES-SCLC after chemoimmunotherapy but did not meet the prespecified PFS6 efficacy threshold, supporting the need for alternative strategies in this high-risk population.

8071 Background: Data from the PACIFIC study demonstrated a 5-yr median progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) of 16.9 and 47.5 months respectively for patients with stage 3A and stage 3B NSCLC demonstrating a high risk of relapse. The 8th ed. of the IASLC staging project reports that the 60-month OS for stage 3A, B and C disease is 41%, 24% and 12% respectively, indicating that improved treatment options are needed for this patient population. Induction chemo-IO (ID chemo-IO) followed by concurrent chemo-radiation (CRT) has not been fully investigated due to concerns regarding the toxicity profile, but this may representant an important unexplored avenue for research. We aim to describe the outcomes of patients who received ID chemo-IO followed by CRT with or without maintenance IO. Methods: We conducted a retrospective study across all Mayo Clinic sites. Patients were included if they were diagnosed with Stage 3 NSCLC deemed ineligible for resection and/or requiring raditation over a large-field ] by a multidisciplinary team with plans for ID chemo-IO prior to CRT and maintenance IO. A total of 927 cases of stage 3 NSCLC patients were screened and those receiving ID chemo-IO followed by CRT were extracted (n = 36). Clinical endpoints are PFS, OS, overall response rate (ORR) and treatment related adverse events (TrAE) defined using CTCAE 5.0. Results: The median age was 67 years, 52.8% were female, all patients were past smokers and 97.2% identified as white. The tumor histologies were adenocarcinoma (66.67%), squamous (27.8%), mucinous adenocarcinoma (2.8%) and sarcomatoid (2.8%). Majority were Stage 3B (47.2%) followed by 3C (38.9%) and 3A (13.9%). N2 and N3 disease was noted in 36.1% and 55.6% of patients respectively. PD-L1 by IHC was > 1-49% (47.2%), > 50% (22.2%) and < 1% (19.4%). Patients received ID chemo-IO with pembrolizumab (83.3%), nivolumab (11.1%) and atezolizumab (2.78%). Average number of ID chemo-IO cycles were 3.67 cycles. The ORR to ID chemo-IO was 86.11%. The median PFS was 23.67 mths and the median OS was 32.07 months. About 94% of patients received CRT afterwards and 66.67% received maintenance IO with pembrolizumab (53.17%) or durvalumab (45.83%). Any grade TrAE occured in 58.33% of patients. Pneumonitis was the most common event (38.9%). Grade 3 -4 pneumonitis was noted in 28.5% (4/11) patients. Other toxicities included hepatitis (8.3%), colitis (11.1%) and myasthenia gravis (2.8%) and 22% of these TrAE’s were grade 3 or 4. Conclusions: Our results indicate that ID chemo-IO shows promise as a therapeutic approach for patients with unresectable stage III NSCLC, especially for patients deemed ineligible or high risk for upfront radiation. Further investigation is needed through a randomized clinical trial to systematically explore and validate the safety and efficacy of ID chemo-IO.

TPS8604 Background: Chemoimmunotherapy followed by durvalumab maintenance yields a median overall survival of 12.9 months in patients with extensive stage Small Cell Lung Cancer (ES SCLC), which is an improvement over chemotherapy alone. However, 90% of these patients will have progressive disease. While topotecan and lurbinectedin have established modest activity in the second line, it is unknown whether continuing immunotherapy in this setting confers additional benefit. In preclinical studies lurbinectedin, a DNA minor groove binder, used with immune checkpoint inhibitors has synergistic effects. Methods: This phase 2 trial is enrolling patients with ES SCLC who have progressed on platinum based chemoimmunotherapy, to three treatment groups. Group 1 includes patients with platinum sensitive SCLC who will receive durvalumab (1500 mg given as an intravenous [IV] infusion once every 3 weeks) and topotecan (1.25 mg/m2/day IV for 5 consecutive days every 3 weeks). In Groups 2A and 2B, patients with platinum sensitive and platinum resistant disease respectively, receive durvalumab and lurbinectedin (3.2 mg/m2 IV on Day 1 of every 21-day cycle). Patients with platinum sensitive disease are assigned to Groups 1 or 2A based on the preferences of the treating physician and the patient. Patients with treated/stable CNS metastases are eligible. The primary endpoint is the proportion of patients who are alive at 6 months (6OS) for Group 1 and the proportion of patients who are alive and progression-free at 6 months (6PFS) in Groups 2A and 2B. Secondary endpoints include safety, adverse event profile, response rate, PFS, and OS. The sample size is based on a 2-stage Simon Optimal Design. For Treatment Group 1, with 22 eligible patients there is 80% power to detect a true 6-month OS rate (6OS) of 75%, with 10% alpha under the null hypothesis that the true 6OS is at most 50%. For Treatment Group 2A, with 20 eligible patients this design has 80% power to detect a true 6-month PFS rate (6PFS) of 65%, with 10% alpha under the null hypothesis that the true 6PFS is at most 40%. For Treatment Group 2B, with 22 eligible patients this design has 80% power to detect a true 6-month PFS rate (6PFS) of 40%, with 10% alpha under the null hypothesis that the true 6PFS is at most 19%. To account for possible drop-outs, accrual targets will be 24, 22, and 24 patients to Groups 1, 2A, and 2B respectively. For the safety analyses, 6 patients will be enrolled at the starting dose level for each treatment group (1, 2) and then briefly closed to accrual to assess adverse events. If we observe 2+ DLTs in these 6 treated patients during Cycle 1 within a treatment group (1 vs. 2), we will declare the combination treatment too toxic and lower the starting dose of chemotherapy for the next 6 patients. The study was open for all 3 groups as of January 2022 and has accrued 2 patients. Clinical trial information: NCT04607954.

e20554 Background: The paradigm for locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer has been markedly altered to include maintenance durvalumab (D) post completion of definitive chemoradiation (CRT) following the publication of the Pacific trial in 2018. The toxicity of this treatment has not been well evaluated in the real-world setting. Methods: We identified 42 patients (pts) with Stage IIB-IIIC NSCLC treated at Mayo Clinic Rochester between 6/1/2018 and 10/1/2020 who received definitive CRT followed by maintenance D. Data were abstracted by retrospective chart review under an IRB approved protocol. Results: Median age was 66 yrs (range 47-90) and 62% were women. Primary lung cancer histology included 19 adenocarcinoma, 20 squamous cell, and 3 adenosquamous. The distribution of stages was: IIB (4/42), IIIA (15/42), IIIB (19/42), IIIC (4/42). Approximately half of patients had PDL1 expression > 25% (20/42). With a median follow up of 12.2 months (calculated from first cycle of D; range 4.2-30.5 months), 14 had completed one year of maintenance D, 16 were receiving ongoing D, and 10 stopped D early with 6/12 discontinuing due to disease progression (4/6 local progression, 2/6 distant progression). Other reasons for discontinuation (5/10) included grade 3 colitis, grade 2 hepatitis, aspergillus lung infection, and flare of autoimmune disorders. One quarter of patients experienced grade 2 radiation pneumonitis (RP; 10/42) with median time to development of RP 78 days from end of CRT and 45 days from start of D. RP was determined by multidisciplinary review of imaging and treatment fields. 17/42 patients developed immune related adverse events (see Table for details). There was minimal overlap between the patients who experienced pneumonitis and immune related toxicity; 2/17 had both pneumonitis and immune related toxicity (hepatitis, thyroiditis). Conclusions: In our early experience with the Pacific regimen, 29% of patients did not complete D due to either toxicity or progression during D administration. Pneumonitis was common (10/42 patients) although there were no grade 3 events. Nearly half of the patients developed an immune-related adverse event. Further analysis is needed to evaluate the real-world toxicity of this treatment as well as oncologic outcomes.[Table: see text]
