PG - 1029-1036 LID - 10.1158/1078-0432.CCR-20-3559 [doi] AB - PURPOSE: We conducted a phase I/II study to investigate the safety and efficacy of nivolumab with paclitaxel plus ramucirumab. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Patients with advanced gastric cancer (AGC) refractory to first-line chemotherapy were included. Patients received nivolumab (3 mg/kg on days 1 and 15) combined with paclitaxel (80 mg/m(2) on days 1, 8, and 15) and ramucirumab (8 mg/kg on days 1 and 15) every 4 weeks. After feasibility evaluation in six patients (phase I), 37 additional patients were enrolled in the phase II part with the primary endpoint of 6-month progression-free survival (PFS) rate with two-sided 80% confidence interval (CI). The combined positive score (CPS) was defined as the number of programmed death-ligand 1-positive cells divided by the total number of viable tumor cells multiplied by 100. RESULTS: Forty-three patients were enrolled. Of these, 60.5% had CPS >/= 1. Dose-limiting toxicities were observed in two patients, and the recommended dose was determined as level 1. Thirty-nine (90.7%) patients experienced treatment-related adverse events (AEs) grade >/=3 and 14 (32.6%) patients experienced immune-related AEs grade >/=3. The overall response rate was 37.2% (95% CI, 23.0%-53.5%) and the 6-month PFS rate was 46.5% (80% CI, 36.4%-55.8%; P = 0.067). Median survival time was 13.1 months (95% CI, 8.0-16.6 months): 13.8 months (95% CI, 8.0-19.5 months) in patients with CPS >/= 1 and 8.0 months (95% CI, 4.8-24.1 months) in patients with CPS < 1. CONCLUSIONS: Nivolumab with paclitaxel plus ramucirumab demonstrated promising antitumor activity with manageable toxicities as second-line treatment for AGC.
