Abstract

Background Immune checkpoint blockade has improved outcomes across tumor types; little is known about the efficacy of these agents in rare tumors. We report the results of the gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD) cohort of SWOG S1609 dual anti–CTLA-4 and anti–PD-1 blockade in rare tumors (DART).

Methods We performed a prospective, open-label, multicenter phase II clinical trial of ipilimumab plus nivolumab across multiple rare tumor cohorts, with the GTD cohort reported here. Eligible patients had progressed following at least one line of standard systemic therapy. All participants received nivolumab 240 mg i.v. every 2 weeks and ipilimumab 1 mg/kg i.v. every 6 weeks on a continuous schedule. The primary endpoint was overall response rate [ORR; complete response (CR) and partial response (PR)] by quantitative serum β-hCG; secondary endpoints included progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), stable disease >6 months, and toxicity.

Results Four eligible patients were enrolled and received therapy. The median number of prior lines of therapy was 2.5 (range 2-4). The median follow-up duration was 11 months. Three of the four patients had a response to therapy [ORR = 75% (CR, 25%, n=1; PR, 50%, n=2) (table 1)], including patients with: malignant gestational trophoblastic neoplasm (n=1, CR, PFS 11+ months), gestational choriocarcinoma (n=1, PR, PFS 10+ months), and choriocarcinoma (n=1, PR, PFS 6+ months). One patient with epithelioid trophoblastic tumor had progression as the best response to therapy. The 6-month PFS was 75% (95% CI 43-100%); all 4 patients were alive at the last follow-up. There were two treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) of grade 3-4 toxicity: arthralgia and colitis (each observed once), both were immune-related; there were no grade 5 events. No patients discontinued treatment due to TRAEs.

Conclusions Ipilimumab plus nivolumab is well tolerated and demonstrated a 75% ORR in patients with GTD
