Background: Interim analysis of a global, phase 2 KEYNOTE-059 study (NCT02335411) reported manageable safety and promising antitumor activity for pembro alone or pembro + chemo in pts with G/GEJ cancer. Here we report long-term efficacy and safety data of all cohorts. Methods: Pts with recurrent or metastatic G/GEJ adenocarcinoma were enrolled in 3 cohorts. Cohort 1 pts (PD-L1?positive or ?negative) received pembro alone after ≥2 prior lines of therapy. Cohort 2 pts (PD-L1?positive or ?negative) received pembro + cisplatin (80 mg/m2 day 1) + 5-fluorouracil (800 mg/m2 days 1-5 Q3W) or capecitabine (in Japan only, 1000 mg/m2 twice daily) as first-line. Cohort 3 pts (PD-L1?positive, combined positive score ≥1% using the PD-L1 IHC 22C3 pharmDx assay) received pembro alone as first-line. All pts received pembro 200 mg Q3W for up to 2 years. End points included safety, ORR, DOR, and OS. Results: At data cutoff (Aug 8, 2018), median (range) follow-up was 6 (1-38), 14 (2-40), and 21 (2-36) months for cohorts 1 (n = 259), 2 (n = 25), and 3 (n = 31), respectively. In cohort 1, confirmed ORR (95% CI) was 11.6% (8-16) overall, 15.5% (10-22) in PD-L1?positive, and 6.4% (3-13) in PD-L1?negative tumors. In cohort 2, confirmed ORR was 60.0% (39-79) overall, 73.3% (45-92) in PD-L1?positive, and 37.5% (9-76) in PD-L1?negative tumors. In cohort 3, confirmed ORR was 25.8% (12-45). Median (range) DOR in months was 16.1 (2-35+), 4.6 (3-37+), and not reached (2.1-32.5+) in cohorts 1, 2, and 3, respectively. OS at 1 year/2 years was 24.6%/12.5%, 52%/32%, and 63.6%/40.1% in cohorts 1, 2, and 3, respectively. In cohorts 1, 2, and 3, grade 3-5 treatment-related adverse event (TRAE) incidence was 46 (18%), 20 (80%), and 8 (26%) respectively. TRAEs led to discontinuation in 6 (2%) and 3 (12%) pts in cohorts 1 and 2, respectively, and to death in 2 (1%) pts in cohort 1. No TRAEs led to discontinuation or death in cohort 3. Conclusions: These updated results demonstrate manageable safety, durable clinically meaningful activity of pembro in heavily pretreated pts, and promising efficacy of first-line pembro (alone or + chemo) in pts with advanced G/GEJ cancer.
