Abstract
Background: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have efficacy in several solid tumors but limited efficacy in glioblastoma (GBM). This study evaluated the safety of anti-CTLA-4 and anti-PD-1 ICIs alone or in combination in newly diagnosed GBM after completion of standard radiochemotherapy with the subsequent intent to test combinatorial ICIs in this setting.
Methods: The primary endpoint was dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) for adults with unifocal, supratentorial newly diagnosed GBM after resection and chemoradiation. Ipilimumab and nivolumab were tested separately and in combination with a planned expansion cohort dependent upon DLT results.
Results: Thirty-two patients were enrolled at 9 institutions: 6 to each DLT assessment cohort and 14 to the expansion cohort. Median age: 55 years, 67.7% male, 83.9% White. Treatment was well tolerated with 16% Grade 4 events; the combination did not have unexpectedly increased toxicity, with no Grade 5 events. One DLT was seen in each single-agent treatment; none were observed in the combination, leading to expanded accrual of the combined treatment. The median follow-up was 19.6 months. For all patients receiving combination treatment, median overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were 20.7 and 16.1 months, respectively.
Conclusions: IPI and NIVO are safe and tolerable with toxicities similar to those noted with other cancers when given in combination with adjuvant temozolomide for newly diagnosed GBM. Combination IPI + NIVO is not substantially more toxic than single agents. These results support a subsequent efficacy trial to test the combination of ICIs in Phase II/III for patients with newly diagnosed GBM.
