Immunotherapy in Hispanic Patients with Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer: A Real-World Data.

e21094 Background: Nivolumab is a human programmed death receptor-1 (PD-1) blocking antibody, used as treatment option in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We assessed the nivolumab efficacy in terms of survival and response to treatment as second- or third-line therapy in patients with advanced NSCLC. Methods: This is a multicentric observational study. Data of patients with advanced NSCLC who received nivolumab as second (2L) or third-line (3L) treatment were analyzed retrospectively. Information regarding patient demographics and clinical backgrounds, treatment patterns from diagnosis to post-nivolumab treatment, effectiveness, and safety of nivolumab treatment were collected. The outcomes evaluated were overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and objective reponse rate to treatment (ORR). OS and PFS were estimated with the Kaplan-Meier method. Statistical analysis was carried out using SPSS version 21.0. Results: Eleven centers distributed across the country (Colombia) participated. Data from 178 patients were included. The median follow-up was 26.8 months (IQR 20.3 - 40.4). Women represented 51.7% of the population, and the median age was 63 years (IQR 56-72 years). Nivolumab was commonly used as a 2L treatment. The ORR with nivolumab as 2L treatment was 21.0%. The median PFS and OS were 5.5 months (95%CI: 4.5 – 6.5) and 12.4 months (95%CI: 10.8 – 14.0), respectively. In 3L the ORR with nivolumab was 15.0%. The overall incidence of adverse events was 1.7%. Conclusions: Nivolumab effectiveness and safety in this scenario was consistent with than reported by previous trials and other real world data.
