In the Phase I/III IMpower133 study, first-line atezolizumab plus carboplatin and etoposide (CP/ET) treatment for extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC) significantly improved overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival versus placebo plus CP/ET. We explored patient and disease characteristics associated with long-term survival in IMpower133, and associations of differential gene expression and SCLC-A (ASCL1-driven), SCLC-N (NEUROD1-driven), SCLC-P (POU2F3-driven), and SCLC-inflamed (SCLC-I) transcriptional subtypes with long-term survival.
Patients with previously untreated ES-SCLC were randomized 1:1 to four 21-day cycles of CP/ET with atezolizumab or placebo. Long-term survivors (LTS) were defined as patients who lived ≥ 18 months post randomization. A generalized linear model was used to evaluate the odds of living ≥ 18 months. Differential gene expression was analyzed using RNA-sequencing data in LTS and non-LTS. OS was assessed by T-effector and B-cell gene signature expression. Distribution of SCLC transcriptional subtypes was assessed in LTS and non-LTS.
More LTS were in the atezolizumab arm (34%) than in the placebo arm (20%). The odds ratio for living ≥ 18 months in the atezolizumab arm versus the placebo arm was 2.1 (P < 0.03). Enhanced immune-related signaling was seen in LTS in both arms. Exploratory OS analyses showed atezolizumab treatment benefit versus placebo across T-effector and B-cell gene signature expression subgroups. A higher proportion of LTS than non-LTS in both arms had the SCLC-I subtype; this difference was particularly pronounced in the atezolizumab arm.
These exploratory analyses suggest that long-term survival is more likely with atezolizumab than placebo in ES-SCLC, confirming the treatment benefit of the IMpower133 regimen.

在 I 期/III 期 IMpower133 研究中,一线阿特珠单抗联合卡铂和依托泊苷(CP/ET)治疗广泛期小细胞肺癌(ES-SCLC)与安慰剂联合 CP/ET 相比,显著改善了总生存期(OS)和无进展生存期(PFS)。我们探讨了 IMpower133 中与长期生存相关的患者和疾病特征,以及差异基因表达与 SCLC-A(ASCL1 驱动)、SCLC-N(NEUROD1 驱动)、SCLC-P(POU2F3 驱动)和 SCLC-炎症(SCLC-I)转录亚型与长期生存的关联。
未经治疗的 ES-SCLC 患者按 1:1 随机分为四组,每组接受 21 天周期的 CP/ET 联合阿特珠单抗或安慰剂。长期幸存者(LTS)定义为随机分组后生存≥18 个月的患者。使用广义线性模型评估生存≥18 个月的可能性。使用 LTS 和非-LTS 的 RNA-seq 数据分析差异基因表达。通过 T 效应细胞和 B 细胞基因特征表达评估 OS。在 LTS 和非-LTS 中评估 SCLC 转录亚型的分布。
阿特珠单抗组的 LTS 患者(34%)多于安慰剂组(20%)。阿特珠单抗组生存≥18 个月的优势比(OR)为 2.1(P<0.03)。在两个治疗组中,LTS 中均观察到增强的免疫相关信号。探索性 OS 分析显示,阿特珠单抗治疗与安慰剂相比,在 T 效应细胞和 B 细胞基因特征表达亚组中均有获益。两个治疗组中,LTS 的 SCLC-I 亚型比例均高于非-LTS;阿特珠单抗组的这一差异更为显著。
这些探索性分析表明,ES-SCLC 中阿特珠单抗的长期生存获益高于安慰剂,证实了 IMpower133 方案的治疗获益。
