pneumonitis
and pulmonary fibrosis
.
Two patients randomized to placebo received at least

and were considered part of the

arm for

Slide27Summary
Durvalumab
demonstrated a statistically significant and robust improvement in PFS versus
placebo
(HR 0.52;
P
< 0.0001
; median improvement of >11 months) at a planned interim
analysis.
PFS improvement with
durvalumab
was observed across all
prespecified
subgroups.
Durvalumab
demonstrated a clinically meaningful benefit in ORR (28.4% vs 16.0%;
p
< 0.001
), with
durable
responses versus placebo (median
DoR
not reached vs
13.8
months
).
Patients receiving
durvalumab had a lower incidence of new lesions, including new brain
metastases, compared to patients receiving placebo.The safety profile of
durvalumab was consistent with that of other immunotherapies
and with its known safety profile as monotherapy in patients with more advanced disease;
1 no new
safety signals were identified.
The study remains blinded to OS.

IMMUNE DESERT

Increase number of
antigen-specific T cells or
increase antigen presentation
IMMUNE EXCLUDED
CD8+ T cells accumulated but not efficiently infiltrated
Bring T cells
in contact with cancer cells
INFLAMED
CD8+ T cells infiltrated,
but
nonfunctional
Accelerate or remove brakes
on T cell response

Slide59Phase III MYSTIC Trial Does Not Meet Its Primary Endpoint of
PFS
Press Release
—
July 27, 2017
The combination of
durvalumab
and
tremelimumab
did not meet the primary endpoint of improving PFS compared to standard of care (
SoC
) in patients whose tumors express PD-L1 on 25% or more of their cancer cells (as determined by the VENTANA PD-L1 [SP263] assay).
As a secondary endpoint, although not formally tested,
durvalumab
monotherapy would not have met a
prespecified
threshold of PFS benefit over
SoC
in this disease setting.
The trial will continue to assess two additional primary endpoints of overall survival (OS) for
durvalumab
monotherapy and OS for the
durvalumab
plus
tremelimumab
combination. Final OS data from both primary endpoints are expected during the first half of 2018.

Slide70Anti-PD-1 Therapy in Patients with Advanced
Melanoma and Preexisting Autoimmune Disorders (AD)
119
patients
from 13 academic tertiary referral centers
received
anti-PD-1
antibodies
In patients with preexisting AD (N = 52), the response rate was 33%
20 (38%) patients had a flare of AD requiring immunosuppression, including
7/13 with rheumatoid arthritis
3/3 with polymyalgia
rheumatica
2/2 with
Sjogren’s
syndrome
2/2 with immune
thrombocytopaenic
purpura
3/8 with psoriasis
No patients with gastrointestinal (N = 6) or neurological disorders (N = 5) flared
Only 2 (4%) patients
permanently
discontinued treatment due to flare, but 15 (29%) developed other
irAEs
and 4 (8%)

Anti-PD-1 antibodies induced relatively frequent immune toxicities that were often mild and easily managed without the need for treatment discontinuation.
