description Objective: The main aim of the study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety profile of Nivolumab, an immune-checkpoint-inhibitor antibody, in advanced, previously treated, Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) patients, in a real world setting. Methods: We performed a retrospective, multicentre data analysis of patients who were included in the Portuguese Nivolumab Expanded Access Program (EAP). Eligibility criteria included histologically or citologically confirmed NSCLC, stage IIIB and IV, evaluable disease, sufficient organ function and at least one prior line of chemotherapy. The endpoints included Overall Response Rate (ORR), Disease Control Rate (DCR), Progression Free Survival (PFS) and Overall Survival (OS). Safety analysis was performed with the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE), version 4.0, and immune-related Adverse Events (irAEs) were treated according to protocol treatment guidelines. Tumour response was assessed using the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours (RECIST) version 1.1. Data was analysed using SPSS, version 21.0 (IBM Statistics). Results: From June 2015 to December 2016, a total of 229 patients with advanced NSCLC were enrolled at 30 Portuguese centres. Clinical data were collected up to the end of July 2018. The baseline median age was 64 years (range 37-83) and the majority of patients were males (70.3%) and former/current smokers (69.4%). Patients with non-squamous histology predominated (88.1%), and 67.6% of the patients had received 2 or more prior lines of chemotherapy. Out of 229 patients, data was available for 219 patients (3 patients did not start treatment, while data was unavailable in 7 patients); of the 219 patients, 15.5% were not evaluated for radiological tumour assessment, 1.4% had complete response (CR), 21% partial response (PR), 31% stable disease (SD) and 31.1% progressive disease (PD). Thus, the ORR was 22.4% and DCR was 53.4% in this population. At the time of survival analysis the median PFS was 4.91 months (95% CI, 3.89–6.11) and median OS was 13.21 months (95% CI, 9.89–16.53). The safety profile was in line with clinical trial data. Conclusions: Efficacy and safety results observed in this retrospective analysis were consistent with observations reported in clinical trials and from other centres. Resumo: Objectivo: Avaliar a eficácia e o perfil de segurança do Nivolumab, um anticorpo inibidor dos checkpoints imunológicos, em doentes com cancro do pulmão de células não pequenas (CPCNP) metastizado, previamente tratado, na prática clínica diária. Métodos: Estudo retrospectivo multicêntrico, de doentes com CPCNP incluídos no Programa de Acesso Precoce (PAP) do Nivolumab. Os critérios de inclusão eram CPCNP histologicamente ou citologicamente confirmados, estadio IIIB e IV, doença avaliável, boa função hepática e renal, e pelo menos um tratamento prévio de quimioterapia. Os objectivos principais eram a Taxa de Resposta Global (ORR), Taxa de Controlo da Doença (DCR), Sobrevivência livre de progressão (PFS) e Sobrevivência Global (OS). O perfil de segurança do fármaco foi avaliado de acordo com o National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE), versão 4.0, e os efeitos adversos imuno-relacionados (irAEs) foram tratados de acordo com as normas de orientação clínica do protocolo. A avaliação da resposta foi efectuada usando a Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours (RECIST) versão 1.1. Os dados foram analisados com recurso ao SPSS, versão 21.0 (IBM Statistics). Resultados: De Junho 2015 a Dezembro 2016, um total de 229 doentes com CPCNP avançado foram incluídos no PAP em 30 Centros portugueses. Os dados clínicos foram recolhidos até ao final de Julho de 2018. A mediana de idade basal foi de 64 anos (intervalo 37-83) e a maioria dos pacientes era do sexo masculino (70,3%) e ex-fumadores ou fumadores (69,4%). Os doentes com histologia não-escamosa predominaram (88,1%) e 67,6% dos pacientes receberam 2 ou mais linhas de quimioterapia prévias. Foi possível recolher dados de 219 doentes (dos restantes 10, 3 não iniciaram o tratamento, e os dados de 7 doentes não estavam disponíveis). Destes 219 doentes, em 15,5% não foi possível fazer avaliação radiológica do tumor, 1,4% apresentaram resposta completa (RC), 21% resposta parcial (RP), 31% doença estável (SD) e 31,1% progressão da doença (DP). Assim, nesta população, a ORR foi de 22,4% e a DCR 53,4%. À data da análise de sobrevivência, a PFS mediana foi de 4,91 meses (IC 95%, 3,89–6,11) e a OS mediana 13,21 meses (IC 95%, 9,89–16,53). O perfil de segurança foi sobreponível aos dados dos ensaios clínicos. Conclusões: Os dados de eficácia e segurança observados nesta análise retrospectiva foram concordantes com os dados dos ensaios clínicos e observados em outros estudos de vida real.
