We evaluated the antitumor activity and safety of avelumab, a human anti-PD-L1 IgG1 antibody, as first-line switch-maintenance (1 L-mn) or second-line (2 L) treatment in patients with advanced gastric/gastroesophageal cancer (GC/GEJC) previously treated with chemotherapy.
In a phase 1b expansion cohort, patients without (1 L-mn) or with (2 L) disease progression following first-line chemotherapy for advanced GC/GEJC received avelumab 10 mg/kg intravenously every 2 weeks. Endpoints included best overall response, progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and safety.
Overall, 150 patients were enrolled (1 L-mn, n = 90; 2 L, n = 60) and median follow-up in the 1 L-mn and 2 L subgroups was 36.0 and 33.7 months, respectively. The confirmed objective response rate was 6.7% in both subgroups (95% CI, 2.5-13.9% and 1.8-16.2%, respectively), including complete responses in 2.2% of the 1 L-mn subgroup (n = 2). In the 1 L-mn and 2 L subgroups, median duration of response was 21.4 months (95% CI, 4.0-not estimable) and 3.5 months (95% CI, 2.8-8.3) and disease control rates were 56.7 and 28.3%, respectively. Median PFS in the 1 L-mn and 2 L subgroups was 2.8 months (95% CI, 2.3-4.1) and 1.4 months (95% CI, 1.3-1.5), with 6-month PFS rates of 23.0% (95% CI, 14.7-32.4%) and 7.9% (95% CI, 2.6-17.2%), and median OS was 11.1 months (95% CI, 8.9-13.7) and 6.6 months (95% CI, 5.4-9.4), respectively. In the 1 L-mn subgroup, median OS measured from start of 1 L chemotherapy was 18.7 months (95% CI, 15.4-20.6). Across both subgroups, 20.7% had an infusion-related reaction of any grade. Other common treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) of any grade included fatigue (10.0%) and nausea (6.7%). Treatment-related serious adverse events occurred in 4.0% of patients. Overall, 8.7% had a grade ≥3 TRAE, including 1 treatment-related death.
Avelumab showed clinical activity and an acceptable safety profile in patients with GC/GEJC.

我们评估了avelumab(一种人源抗 PD-L1 IgG1 抗体)在先前接受过化疗的晚期胃/胃食管交界癌(GC/GEJC)患者中的一线切换维持(1L-mn)或二线(2L)治疗的抗肿瘤活性和安全性。
在 1b 期扩展队列中,在一线化疗后无疾病进展(1L-mn)或有疾病进展(2L)的患者接受avelumab 10mg/kg,每 2 周静脉注射一次。主要终点包括最佳总体反应、无进展生存期(PFS)、总生存期(OS)和安全性。
共有 150 名患者入组(1L-mn,n=90;2L,n=60),1L-mn 和 2L 亚组的中位随访时间分别为 36.0 和 33.7 个月。两个亚组的确认客观缓解率均为 6.7%(95%CI,2.5-13.9%和 1.8-16.2%),包括 1L-mn 亚组 2.2%(n=2)的完全缓解。1L-mn 和 2L 亚组的中位缓解持续时间分别为 21.4 个月(95%CI,4.0-不可估计)和 3.5 个月(95%CI,2.8-8.3),疾病控制率分别为 56.7%和 28.3%。1L-mn 和 2L 亚组的中位 PFS 分别为 2.8 个月(95%CI,2.3-4.1)和 1.4 个月(95%CI,1.3-1.5),6 个月 PFS 率分别为 23.0%(95%CI,14.7-32.4%)和 7.9%(95%CI,2.6-17.2%),中位 OS 分别为 11.1 个月(95%CI,8.9-13.7)和 6.6 个月(95%CI,5.4-9.4)。在 1L-mn 亚组中,从 1L 化疗开始测量的中位 OS 为 18.7 个月(95%CI,15.4-20.6)。两个亚组均有 20.7%的患者发生任何等级的输注相关反应。其他常见的任何等级的治疗相关不良事件(TRAEs)包括疲劳(10.0%)和恶心(6.7%)。4.0%的患者发生了与治疗相关的严重不良事件。总体而言,8.7%的患者发生了 3 级以上 TRAE,包括 1 例治疗相关死亡。
avelumab 在 GC/GEJC 患者中显示出临床活性和可接受的安全性。
