Abstract
BACKGROUND: To evaluate safety and efficacy of ipilimumab combined with standard first-line chemotherapy for patients with extensive stage SCLC. METHODS: Chemotherapy-naïve extensive stage SCLC patients were treated with carboplatin and etoposide up to six cycles. Ipilimumab 10 mg/kg was given on day 1 of cycles 3-6 and every 12 weeks. Response was assessed by RECIST v1.0 and immune related response criteria (irRC). The primary endpoint was 1-year progression-free survival (PFS) according to RECIST. Secondary endpoints included PFS by irRC (irPFS) and overall survival (OS). Autoantibody serum levels were evaluated and correlated with clinical outcomes. RESULTS: 42 patients were enrolled between September 2011-April 2014, 39 evaluable for safety and 38 for efficacy. 6/38 patients (15.8% [95% CI: 7.4%-30.4%]) were alive and progression-free at 1-year by RECIST. Median PFS was 6.9 months (95%CI: 5.5-7.9). Median irPFS was 7.3 months (95% CI: 5.5-8.8). Median OS was 17.0 months (95% CI: 7.9-24.3). In patients evaluable for response, 21/29 patients (72.4%) achieved an objective response by RECIST and 28/33 (84.8%) by irRC. All patients experienced at least one adverse event; 35/39 (89.7%) patients developed at least one toxicity ≥ Grade 3; in 27 (69.2%) this was related to ipilimumab. Five deaths were reported to be related to ipilimumab. The positivity of an autoimmune profile at baseline was associated with improved outcomes and severe neurological toxicity. CONCLUSION: Ipilimumab in combination with carboplatin and etoposide might benefit a subgroup of patients with advanced SCLC. Autoantibody analysis correlates with treatment benefit and toxicity and warrants further investigation.
