In Combination with Chemotherapy

LIBTAYO in combination with platinum-based chemotherapy is indicated for the first-line treatment of adult patients with non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with no EGFR, ALK, or ROS1 aberrations, and is locally advanced where patients are not candidates for surgical resection or definitive chemoradiation OR metastatic.1

Approved

as a monotherapy

LIBTAYO as a single agent is indicated for the first-line treatment of adult patients with NSCLC whose tumors have high PD-L1 expression [tumor proportion score (TPS) ≥50%)] as determined by an FDA-approved test, with no EGFR, ALK, or ROS1 aberrations, and is locally advanced where patients are not candidates for surgical resection or definitive chemoradiation OR metastatic.1

LIBTAYO alone and in combination with chemotherapy demonstrated overall survival benefit in two phase 3 pivotal trials vs chemotherapy1:

In patients with advanced NSCLC who had no EGFR, ALK, or ROS1 aberrations*

LIBTAYO + chemo vs chemo alone (N=466)1,2

Superior Median OS:
21.9 months
(95% CI, 15.5-NE) vs 13.0 months (95% CI, 11.9-16.1) with chemotherapy alone, HR=0.71, P=0.01401
  • Number of deaths in EMPOWER-Lung 3: 42% of patients (132 out of 312 patients) with LIBTAYO + chemotherapy and 53% of patients (82 out of 154 patients) with chemotherapy alone1

SAFETY DATA1,2

  • Serious adverse reactions occurred in 25% of patients. The most frequent serious adverse reactions that occurred in at least 2% of patients were pneumonia, anemia, and neutropenia.1
  • Fatal adverse reactions occurred in 6% of patients who received LIBTAYO in combination with chemotherapy [including death not otherwise specified (2.9%), sudden death (1.0%), acute hepatitis (0.3%), acute respiratory distress syndrome (0.3%), mesenteric artery thrombosis (0.3%), pneumonia (0.3%), pneumonitis (0.3%), and pulmonary hemorrhage (0.3%)] vs 7.8% with chemotherapy alone.1
  • LIBTAYO was permanently discontinued due to adverse reactions in 5% of patients vs 3% with chemotherapy alone.1
  • Dosage interruptions of LIBTAYO due to an adverse reaction occurred in 33% of patients.1
  • The most common (≥15%) adverse reactions were alopecia, musculoskeletal pain, nausea, fatigue, peripheral neuropathy, and decreased appetite.1

Per IDMC Recommendations:
EMPOWER-Lung 3 was stopped early due to superior OS.3

VIEW EMPOWER-LUNG 1 STUDY DESIGN
  • In EMPOWER-Lung 3, OS was monitored and reviewed per Independent Data Monitoring Committee (IDMC). All secondary analyses were conducted per Blinded Independent Central Review (BICR).
  • In EMPOWER-Lung 1, OS was monitored and reviewed per IDMC; PFS and all secondary analyses were conducted per BICR.
  • *Patients with locally advanced NSCLC who are not candidates for surgical resection or definitive chemoradiation or who have metastatic NSCLC.
  • Platinum-based chemotherapy in either arm consisted of carboplatin AUC of 5 or 6 mg/mL/min IV and paclitaxel 200 mg/m2 IV; cisplatin 75 mg/m2 IV and paclitaxel 200 mg/m2 IV; carboplatin AUC of 5 or 6 mg/mL/min IV and pemetrexed 500 mg/m2 IV; or cisplatin 75 mg/m2 IV and pemetrexed 500 mg/m2 IV. Maintenance pemetrexed was mandatory for patients with nonsquamous NSCLC who received a pemetrexed-containing chemotherapy regimen in the first 4 treatment cycles.
  • Investigator's choice: Paclitaxel + cisplatin or carboplatin; gemcitabine + cisplatin or carboplatin; or pemetrexed + cisplatin or carboplatin followed by optional pemetrexed maintenance in patients with nonsquamous histology.
  • ALK=anaplastic lymphoma kinase; AUC=area under the curve; CI=confidence interval; EGFR=epidermal growth factor receptor; FDA=Food and Drug Administration; HR=hazard ratio; IV=intravenous; NSCLC=non-small cell lung cancer; OS=overall survival; PD-1=programmed death receptor-1; PD-L1 programmed death ligand 1; ROS1=ROS proto-oncogene 1, receptor tyrosine kinase.
