Özet

Background: IMforte (NCT05091567) is the first Phase III study to demonstrate

statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvements in IRF-PFS (stratified

HR, 0.54; 95% CI: 0.43, 0.67) and OS (stratified HR, 0.73; 95% CI: 0.57, 0.95) with 1L

maintenance tx with lurbi + atezo vs atezo in ES-SCLC. Randomised patients (pts) had

CR/PR (88%) or SD (11%) to induction tx. The combination was generally well

tolerated, with manageable safety.

Methods: Eligible pts with ES-SCLC without PD after 1L induction tx with atezo,

carboplatin, and etoposide were randomised 1:1 to maintenance tx q3w with lurbi

3.2 mg/m+ atezo 1200 mg or atezo until PD or unacceptable toxicity. We assessed

the patterns of RECIST-defined PD per IRF and evaluated the association of maintenance

baseline (BL) tumour burden with IRF-PFS and OS in randomised pts.

Results: Of 660 pts enrolled to receive induction tx, 483 were randomised to lurbi +

atezo (n=242) and atezo (n=241) maintenance tx. RECIST-defined PD per IRF was

seen in 143 pts (59%) in the lurbi + atezo arm and 183 pts (76%) in the atezo arm. Of

pts with PD, patterns of PD in the lurbi + atezo and atezo arms, respectively, were

target lesions (29% and 46%), non-target lesions (24% and 33%) and new lesions

(69% and 68%). Among pts with IRF-assessed measurable disease at the time of

randomisation, the median BL sum of diameters (SOD) was 44 mm. Pts were grouped

based on BL tumour burden (i.e., measurable disease with SOD <median vs

≥median, and non-measurable disease only) and IRF-PFS and OS analysed (Table).

Conclusions: Proportionately fewer IRF-defined PD events were observed in target/

non-target lesions in the lurbi + atezo vs atezo arms. The addition of lurbi led to

greater OS improvement in pts with higher tumour burden among those with

measurable disease and to OS improvement in pts without measurable disease,

while IRF-PFS improvement was similar regardless of tumour burden
