Cumulative incidence and risk factors of brain metastases in metastatic non-small cell lung cancer without baseline brain metastasis : Pooled analysis of individualized patient data from IMpower130, IMpower131, and IMpower150

BACKGROUND: The objective of this study was to explore the abilities of atezolizumab plus chemotherapy in preventing brain metastases (BMs) among metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) without initial BMs, as well as the risk factors of BMs.

METHODS: Individual patient data from three trials involving first-line atezolizumab for metastatic NSCLC (IMpower130, IMpower131, and IMpower150) were pooled. Among patients without baseline BMs and without epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and/or anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) mutations, those receiving atezolizumab + chemotherapy ± bevacizumab were classified as the atezolizumab plus chemotherapy group and those receiving placebo + chemotherapy ± bevacizumab were classified as the chemotherapy group. The cumulative incidences of BM (CI-BMs) between the two groups were compared. Other factors associated with the CI-BM were analyzed by Cox regression analyses.

RESULTS: With a median follow-up of 17.6 months (range, 0.03-33.64 months), 74 (3.1%) of the 2380 enrolled patients developed BMs, including 50 (3.1%) and 24 (3.0%) in the atezolizumab plus chemotherapy group (n = 1589) and the chemotherapy group (n = 791), respectively. The CI-BMs at 6, 12, and 24 months were 1.7%, 2.8%, and 3.3%, respectively. After taking competing risk events into account, there was no significant difference in the CI-BMs between the two groups (p = .888). Nevertheless, the use of bevacizumab and the histology of nonsquamous NSCLC were found to be independently associated with the risk of BMs.

CONCLUSIONS: In patients with metastatic EGFR/ALK wild-type NSCLC without baseline BMs, adding atezolizumab in the first-line treatment might not reduce the CI-BM. However, the administration of bevacizumab may reduce the risk of BMs.
