    The European Society of Medical Oncology (ESMO) Annual Meeting is the most prestigious and influential oncology conference
    in Europe.
    ESMO Conference 2022 will be held in person (Paris, France) and online from September 9 to 13, 2022

    Covering basic research, translational research and the latest clinical research progress, it will provide a broad and excellent academic platform
    for clinical practice and multidisciplinary discussion.
    There are several blockbuster studies in the field of lung cancer that will be presented at this year's ESMO conference
    .


    In the morning of the 11th local time, two immunotherapy-related studies led by Professor Han Baohui and Professor Lu Shun of the Chest Hospital of Shanghai Jiao Tong University announced the results
    .
    Yimaitong is specially organized as follows:


    Professor Han Baohui's team: PD-1 inhibitor + anlotinib is expected to become a first-line new option for metastatic NSCLC


    Professor Han Baohui


    Background:


    Phase I studies have shown clinical benefit
    of PD-1 monoclonal antibody sindilimab in combination with the antiangiogenic drug anlotinib in patients with treatment-naïve advanced NSCLC.
    Previous results showed that the combination therapy had an objective response rate (ORR) of 72.
    7%, a disease control rate (DCR) of 100%, a median progression-free survival (PFS) of 15 months, an 18-month and 24-month PFS rate of 45.
    9% and 262.
    %, and an immature overall survival (OS) result, with an estimated 12-month OS rate of 95.
    5%.

    At this year's ESMO conference, Professor Han Baohui orally reported the results of a phase II randomized controlled study: the results
    of a preliminary interim analysis of sindilimab + anlotinib in patients with treatment-naïve metastatic NSCLC.


    Method:


    This is an open-label Phase II study
    conducted at 6 centers in China.
    Patients with treatment-naïve stage IV, EGFR/ALK/ROS1-negative NSCLC are eligible for enrollment
    .
    Enrolled patients were randomized 1:1 to Group A (sindilimab 200 mg, anlotinib 12 mg, PO, D 1-14, PO, D 1-14) or B (platinum-containing chemotherapy, crossover to sindilimab allowed after disease progression).

    Stratification factors include histologic type and PD-L1 expression level
    .
    Treatment is given every three weeks until disease progression or intolerable toxicity, discontinuation, or death
    .
    Sindilimab was treated for 24 months or 35 cycles
    .
    The primary endpoint was ORR, and secondary endpoints included PFS, DCR, duration of response (DoR), OS, and safety
    .


    Study design


    Outcome:


    Between November 2019 and July 2022, 89 included patients were randomized to Group A (43) or Group B (46).

    As of July 15, 2022, the median follow-up was 13.
    1 months, and 83 patients could be evaluated for efficacy (40 in group A versus 43 in group B).

    。 ORRs were 50.
    0% (95% CI 33.
    8 to 66.
    2) and 32.
    6% (95% CI 19.
    1 to 48.
    5) in groups A and B, respectively, DoR was 16.
    3 and 6.
    2 months, and DCR rates were 85.
    0% (95% CI 70.
    2 to 94.
    3) vs 93.
    0% (95% CI 80.
    9 to 98.
    5),
    respectively.


    Efficacy analysis


    The median PFS in both groups was 10.
    8 versus 5.
    7 months (HR 0.
    4; 95% CI 0.
    25 to 0.
    74).

    The OS is not yet mature
    .


    Secondary study endpoints


    The incidence of grade 3-4 treatment-related adverse events (TRAE) in groups A and B was 11.
    6% and 43.
    5%,
    respectively.
    The most common adverse events in group A were hypothyroidism, hyponatremia, and elevated AST most commonly in group
    A.
    Two patients in group B stopped treatment, one patient died of TRAE, and no discontinuation or death was
    observed in group A.


    Conclusion:


    Preliminary interim analysis showed that sindilimab + anlotinib improved efficacy in patients with treatment-specific metastatic NSCLC compared with chemotherapy, and there was a trend of
    survival benefit.
    This chemotherapy-free combination has the potential to be the first-line treatment option
    for metastatic NSCLC.


    Professor Lu Shun's team: The ORIENT-31 study released the results of the second interim analysis, reaching the main PFS endpoint


    Professor Lu Shun


    Background:


    Treatment options following treatment failure of EGFR-sensitive mutation non-squamous NSCLC (nsqNSCLC) TKI are limited
    .
    Bevacizumab + chemotherapy is approved for use in patients with
    nsqNSCLC.
    VEGF inhibitors not only have the effect of antivascular drugs, but also produce immunomodulatory effects
    by enhancing the efficacy of T cell-mediated killing of tumor cells.


    The ORIENT-31 study is a randomized, double-blind, phase III study to evaluate the efficacy and safety
    of sindilimab ±IBI305 (bevacizumab biosimilar) + chemotherapy compared with chemotherapy in patients with EGFR-mutated nonsquamous NSCLC 。 The first interim analysis (IA) showed that sindilimab + IBI305+ chemotherapy significantly improved PFS in patients compared with chemotherapy, group A vs group C (PFS HR 0.
    637, P< 0.
    0001) (Lu, et al.
    Lancet Oncol 2022)<b17>。 At this year's ESMO conference, Professor Lu Shun orally reported the results
    of the second interim analysis.


    Method:


    Eligible enrolled patients were randomized (Phase I 1:1:1 and Phase II 2:2:1) to Group A (sindilimab + IBI305 + chemotherapy) and B (sindilimab + placebo + chemotherapy) and C (placebo 1 + placebo 2 + chemotherapy).

    Enrolled patients received sindilimab/placebo 1 (200 mg), IBI305/placebo2 (15 mg/kg), pemetrexed (500 mg/m2), and cisplatin (75 mg/m2) intravenously for 4 cycles of Q3W
    .
    Subsequently, groups A, B and C received sequential cindilimab + IBI305+ chemotherapy, sindilimab + placebo 2 + chemotherapy, placebo 1 + placebo 2 + chemotherapy maintenance therapy
    , respectively.
    The primary endpoint was PFS
    assessed according to RECIST v1.
    1.
    Based on a pre-developed analysis plan, the second interim analysis (announced at this year's ESMO conference) aims to evaluate the PFS of groups B and C and further confirm the conclusion
    that group A is superior to group C at the time of the first interim analysis.


    Study design


    Outcome:


    At the end of the data on March 31, 2022, 476 patients were randomly assigned to group A (158 cases), group B (158 cases), and group C (160 cases), with a median age of 57.
    0 years and 37.
    0% of patients had brain metastases
    .
    63.
    0% of patients received first- or second-generation EGFR TKI (T790M negative), 26.
    3% received first- or second-generation EGFR TKI followed by third-generation EGFR TKI (T790M positive), and 10.
    5% received third-generation EGFR TKI first-line therapy
    .


    Baseline characteristics of the patient


    The median follow-up was 13.
    1 months, and the median PFS in groups A, B, and C assessed by the Independent Radiological Review Board (IRRC) was 7.
    2 months, 5.
    5 months, and 4.
    3 months
    , respectively.
    Group B had a significantly higher median PFS compared to Group C (HR 0.
    723, 95% CI: 0.
    552, 0.
    948; P = 0.
    0181).


    The study met the primary PFS endpoint


    The ORRs for groups A, B and C confirmed by IRRC were 48.
    1%, 34.
    8% and 29.
    4%,
    respectively.
    The DCRs of the three groups were 86.
    1%, 81.
    6% and 75.
    6%, respectively.
    The median DoR in the three groups was 8.
    5 months, 7.
    4 months, and 5.
    7 months
    , respectively.


    Secondary study endpoints


    The incidence of adverse events during grade 3 and above treatment in the three groups was 59.
    5%, 46.
    2%, and 56.
    9%,
    respectively.


    Conclusion:


    Compared with chemotherapy alone (group C), sindilimab + chemotherapy (group B) significantly improved PFS
    in patients with EGFR-mutated non-squamous NSCLC after EGFR TKI treatment progression.
    OS results were immature and no new adverse events
    were identified.
