Abstract

INTRODUCTION Pembrolizumab has shown clinical benefit in patients with previously treated recurrent/metastatic small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) in the phase 1b multicohort study KEYNOTE-028 (NCT02054806) and the phase 2 multicohort study KEYNOTE-158 (NCT02628067). We present a pooled analysis of patients from KEYNOTE-028 and KEYNOTE-158 who had received ≥2 lines of previous therapy for SCLC. METHODS Eligible patients were ≥18 years, had histologically/cytologically confirmed incurable recurrent/metastatic SCLC, an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of ≤1, and had received ≥2 lines of previous therapy. Patients in KEYNOTE-028 were required to have a programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1)-positive tumor. Patients received pembrolizumab 10 mg/kg every 2 weeks (KEYNOTE-028) or 200 mg every 3 weeks (KEYNOTE-158) for up to 2 years. The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR) per RECIST version 1.1; presented here per independent review. RESULTS Eighty-three patients who had received ≥2 lines of previous therapy (KEYNOTE-028, n=19; KEYNOTE-158, n=64) were included. Median follow-up duration was 7.7 months (range, 0.5‒48.7). ORR was 19.3% (95% CI, 11.4‒29.4); 2 patients had a complete response (1 with a PD-L1-positive tumor) and 14 had a partial response (13 with PD-L1-positive tumors). Median duration of response was not reached (range, 4.1‒35.8+ months); 61% of responders had responses lasting ≥18 months. Fifty-one patients (61.4%) experienced any-grade treatment-related adverse events; 8 (9.6%) patients had grade ≥3 events. CONCLUSION Pembrolizumab demonstrated durable antitumor activity in subset of patients with recurrent/metastatic SCLC who had ≥2 previous lines of therapy, regardless of PD-L1 expression. Pembrolizumab was well tolerated.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
