First-Line Tislelizumab Plus Chemotherapy for Advanced Gastric Cancer with Programmed Death-Ligand 1 Expression ≥ 1%: A Retrospective Analysis of RATIONALE-305
Introduction
Tislelizumab plus investigator-chosen chemotherapy (ICC) demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in overall survival (OS) versus placebo plus ICC in RATIONALE-305 in patients with locally advanced unresectable or metastatic human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative gastric cancer/gastroesophageal junction cancer (GC/GEJC) in the intent-to-treat population and in patients with programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) Tumor Area Positivity (TAP) score ≥ 5%. The United States Food and Drug Administration Oncologic Drugs Advisory Committee voted (September 2024) against first-line treatment with programmed cell death protein-1 inhibitors in this setting in patients with a PD-L1 combined positive score < 1 or TAP score < 1%, due to an unfavorable benefit–risk profile. Thus, we retrospectively analyzed data from RATIONALE-305 in patients with a PD-L1 TAP score ≥ 1%.
Methods
Adult patients with locally advanced unresectable or metastatic HER2-negative GC/GEJC were randomized to tislelizumab 200 mg or placebo with ICC every 3 weeks. Efficacy and safety outcomes of tislelizumab plus ICC versus placebo plus ICC were retrospectively assessed in those with a PD-L1 TAP score ≥ 1%.
Results
At the final analysis cutoff (February 28, 2023), 432 patients received tislelizumab plus ICC and 453 received placebo plus ICC, and had a PD-L1 TAP score ≥ 1%. Clinically meaningful improvements to OS were observed with tislelizumab plus ICC compared with placebo plus ICC [15.0 months (95% confidence interval [CI] 13.3–16.7) vs. 12.8 months (95% CI 12.1–14.1), respectively; stratified hazard ratio 0.77 (95% CI 0.67–0.90)]. Progression-free survival, overall response rate, duration of response, and disease control rate, were also improved. OS improvements were maintained at a 3-year data cutoff (February 28, 2024). Tislelizumab plus ICC had an acceptable safety profile with no new safety signals.
Conclusions
Tislelizumab plus ICC is an effective and tolerable first-line treatment for patients with locally advanced unresectable or metastatic HER2-negative GC/GEJC with a PD-L1 TAP score ≥ 1%.
期刊介绍:
Advances in Therapy is an international, peer reviewed, rapid-publication (peer review in 2 weeks, published 3–4 weeks from acceptance) journal dedicated to the publication of high-quality clinical (all phases), observational, real-world, and health outcomes research around the discovery, development, and use of therapeutics and interventions (including devices) across all therapeutic areas. Studies relating to diagnostics and diagnosis, pharmacoeconomics, public health, epidemiology, quality of life, and patient care, management, and education are also encouraged.
The journal is of interest to a broad audience of healthcare professionals and publishes original research, reviews, communications and letters. The journal is read by a global audience and receives submissions from all over the world. Advances in Therapy will consider all scientifically sound research be it positive, confirmatory or negative data. Submissions are welcomed whether they relate to an international and/or a country-specific audience, something that is crucially important when researchers are trying to target more specific patient populations. This inclusive approach allows the journal to assist in the dissemination of all scientifically and ethically sound research.
