BACKGROUND: Some lung cancer patients have preexisting interstitial lung disease (ILD), which is considered a risk factor for lung cancer treatment. This study investigated the safety and efficacy of durvalumab consolidation therapy for patients with stage III non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and preexisting ILD.

METHODS: Fifty consecutive patients who were judged to be tolerable to concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) for stage III NSCLC were enrolled. Differences in the incidence rate of radiation pneumonitis (RP) and progression-free survival (PFS) were assessed in patients with or without ILD of which CT showed non-usual interstitial pneumonia pattern between the durvalumab consolidation group and chemotherapy (combination of carboplatin and paclitaxel [CP]) consolidation group.

RESULTS: The incidence of RP was higher in patients with preexisting ILD (40% and 20% in the durvalumab and CP groups, respectively) than in those without ILD (26% and 8% in the durvalumab and CP groups, respectively). Univariate analysis showed that durvalumab therapy tended to increase the incidence of RP; however, preexisting ILD did not significantly increase the incidence of RP. The condition of all patients who developed RP improved with the administration of oral prednisolone. Among patients without ILD, the median PFS was 17 and 16 months in the durvalumab and CP groups, respectively. Among patients with preexisting ILD, median PFS was not achieved in the durvalumab group and was 8 months in the CP group.

CONCLUSIONS: Although durvalumab consolidation therapy tended to increase the incidence of RP, it might be tolerable in stage III NSCLC patients with preexisting ILD.
