Real-world outcomes of first-line pembrolizumab plus pemetrexed-carboplatin for metastatic nonsquamous NSCLC at US oncology practices

Abstract Evidence from real-world clinical settings is lacking with regard to first-line immunotherapy plus chemotherapy for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Our aim was to describe outcomes for patients treated with first-line pembrolizumab-combination therapy for metastatic non...

Our aim was to describe outcomes for patients treated with first-line pembrolizumab-combination therapy for metastatic nonsquamous NSCLC in US oncology practices. Using an anonymized, nationwide electronic health record-derived database, we identified patients who initiated pembrolizumab plus pemetrexed-carboplatin in the first-line setting (May 2017 to August 2018) after diagnosis of metastatic nonsquamous NSCLC that tested negative for EGFR and ALK genomic aberrations.

Of 283 eligible patients, 168 (59%) were male; median age was 66 years (range 33–84); and the proportions of patients with PD-L1 tumor proportion score (TPS) of ≥ 50%, 1–49%, < 1%, and unknown were 28%, 27%, 28%, and 17%, respectively. At data cutoff on August 31, 2019, median patient follow-up was 20.3 months (range 12–28 months), and median real-world times on treatment (rwToT) with pembrolizumab and pemetrexed were 5.6 (95% CI 4.5–6.4) and 2.8 months (95% CI 2.2–3.5), respectively. Median overall survival (OS) was 16.5 months (95% CI 13.2–20.6); estimated 12-month survival was 59.5% (95% CI 53.3–65.0); rwProgression-free survival was 6.4 months (95% CI 5.4–7.8); and rwTumor response rate (complete or partial response) was 56.5% (95% CI 50.5–62.4).
