Here we report data with 3-y minimum follow-up. Methods: Pts with stage IV / recurrent NSCLC and PD-L1 $ 1% (n = 1189) were randomized 1:1:1 to NIVO (3 mg/kg Q2W) + IPI (1 mg/kg Q6W), NIVO (240 mg Q2W) alone, or chemo. Pts with PD-L1 , 1% (n = 550) were randomized to NIVO + IPI, NIVO (360 mg Q3W) + chemo, or chemo. Primary endpoint was OS with NIVO + IPI vs chemo in pts with PD-L1 $ 1%. An exploratory analysis of OS in pts by response status (CR/PR, SD, progressive disease [PD]) at 6 mo was conducted. Results: After a median follow-up of 43.1 mo (database lock, 28 Feb 2020), pts with PD-L1 $ 1% continued to derive OS benefit from NIVO + IPI vs chemo (HR: 0.79; 95% CI, 0.67–0.93); 3-y OS rates were 33% (NIVO + IPI), 29% (NIVO), and 22% (chemo). At 3 y, 18% of pts with PD-L1 $ 1% treated with NIVO + IPI remained progression-free vs 12% with NIVO and 4% with chemo; 38% of confirmed responders remained in response in the NIVO + IPI arm at 3 y vs 32% in the NIVO arm and 4% in the chemo arm. In pts with PD-L1 , 1%, OS HR for NIVO + IPI vs chemo was 0.64 (95% CI, 0.51–0.81); 3-y OS rates were 34% (NIVO + IPI), 20% (NIVO + chemo), and 15% (chemo); 13%, 8%, and 2% of pts remained progression-free; and 34%, 15%, and 0% of confirmed responders remained in response, respectively. Pts with PD-L1 $ 1% with either CR/PR at 6 mo had longer subsequent OS with NIVO + IPI vs chemo; pts with SD or PD at 6 mo had generally similar subsequent OS between treatments (Table); results in PD-L1 , 1% pts will be presented. Any-grade / grade 3–4 treatment-related AEs were observed in 77% / 33% of all pts treated with NIVO + IPI, and 82% / 36% with chemo. Conclusions: With 3 y minimum follow-up, NIVO + IPI continued to provide durable and long-term OS benefits vs chemo for pts in 1L aNSCLC. Pts with PD-L1 $ 1% who achieved CR/PR at 6 mo had marked OS benefit with NIVO + IPI vs chemo. No new safety signals were identified for NIVO + IPI. Clinical trial information: NCT02477826.

We hypothesized that a limited course of chemo combined with NIVO + IPI could provide rapid disease control while building on the durable OS benefit seen with dual PD-1 and CTLA-4 inhibition. CheckMate 9LA (NCT03215706) is a phase 3 randomized study evaluating NIVO + IPI + 2 cycles chemo vs chemo in 1L stage IV/recurrent NSCLC. Methods: Adults with tx-naive, histologically confirmed stage IV/recurrent NSCLC, ECOG performance status 0–1, and no known sensitizing EGFR/ALK alterations were ran- domized 1:1 to NIVO 360 mg Q3W + IPI 1 mg/kg Q6W + chemo (2 cycles) (n = 361) or chemo (4 cycles) alone (n = 358), stratified by PD-L1 (, 1% vs $ 1%), sex, and histology (squamous vs non-squamous). Chemo was based on histology. Pts with non-squamous NSCLC in the chemo-only arm could receive optional pemetrexed maintenance. Pts were treated with immunotherapy until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or for 2 y. The primary endpoint was OS; the interim analysis using Lan–DeMets alpha spending function with O’Brien–Fleming boundary was planned at ~80% information fraction (ie, after observing ~322 total events). Secondary endpoints included progression-free survival (PFS) and objective response rate (ORR) by blinded independent central review, and efficacy by PD-L1 subgroups. Exploratory endpoints included safety/tolerability. Results: Baseline characteristics were balanced across arms. At a preplanned interim analysis (minimum follow-up 8.1 mo), OS was significantly prolonged with NIVO + IPI + chemo vs chemo (HR 0.69, 96.71% CI: 0.55–0.87; P = 0.0006); statistically significant improvements in PFS and ORR were seen. With longer follow-up (minimum 12.7 mo), NIVO + IPI + chemo vs chemo continued to provide longer OS; median 15.6 vs 10.9 mo (HR 0.66, 95% CI: 0.55–0.80); 1-y OS rates were 63 vs 47%. Clinical benefit was consistent across all efficacy measures in key subgroups including by PD-L1 and histology. Grade 3–4 tx-related adverse events were reported in 47 vs 38% of pts in the NIVO + IPI + chemo vs chemo arms, respectively. Conclusions: CheckMate 9LA met its primary endpoint: a statistically significant im- provement in OS was observed with NIVO + NSCLC-optimized IPI + a limited course of chemo vs chemo (4 cycles) in 1L advanced NSCLC. No new safety signals were reported. Clinical trial information: NCT03215706. Research Sponsor: Bristol-Myers Squibb and Ono Pharmaceutical. © 2020 American Society of Clinical Oncology.

The final fatal shots have been fired at the 50km. Stefano might well ask – who are the killers? It is time to name names. The process seems clearly to have been instigated and supported by two of the top people in the IAAF, namely Sebastian Coe (IAAF President) and Paul Hardy (IAAF Competitions Director). Their hatchet man, who has driven the process for them, is Luis Saladie (IAAF Head of Competition Management) Their willing accomplices have been the majority of the IAAF Race Walking Committee, led by Maurizio DaMilano.
