CASPIAN: Background § Etoposide + platinum chemotherapy (EP) was the established standard first-line therapy for patients with extensive-stage SCLC § Combination of EP with PD-L 1–targeted therapy (atezolizumab or durvalumab) approved as first-line treatment for extensive-stage SCLC in US and elsewhere based on phase III data showing OS benefit[1, 2] ‒ Previous results from CASPIAN demonstrated statistically significant improvement in OS with durvalumab + EP with choice of cisplatin or carboplatin vs EP alone (HR: 0. 73; 95% CI: 0. 59 -0. 91; P =. 0047)[1] § Current analysis sought to determine if adding tremelimumab to durvalumab + EP can further improve outcomes in first-line extensive-stage SCLC, and updates the OS analysis for durvalumab + EP vs EP in phase III CASPIAN study[3] 1.

Conclusions § First-line durvalumab + EP demonstrated ongoing improvement of OS vs EP in patients with extensive-stage SCLC ‒ HR: 0. 75 (95% CI: 0. 62 -0. 91; P =. 0032) ‒ At 24 mos, 22. 2% of patients receiving durvalumab + EP remained alive vs 14. 4% with EP ‒ OS benefit preserved across prespecified subgroups; benefit observed in key secondary outcomes § No significant improvement in outcomes with addition of tremelimumab to durvalumab + EP § Safety outcomes consistent with known safety profiles of each agent § Investigators conclude durvalumab + EP should be considered a new standard of care for first-line therapy in patients with extensive-stage SCLC Paz-Ares.
