Background: Malignant peritoneal mesothelioma (MPeM) is an orphan malignancy. No recommended/FDA approved therapies exist for salvage treatment beyond first-line platinum and pemetrexed based chemotherapy. While immune checkpoint inhibition has shown preliminary efficacy in mesotheliomas, data and efficacy is limited in MPeM patients (pts) [objective response rate (ORR) ~ 11%; median progression-free survival (mPFS) ~ 4 months (m); median overall survival (mOS) ~ 11 m]. We aimed to prospectively assess the safety and efficacy of combined anti-PD1 (atezolizumab) and VEGF (bevacizumab) blockade (AtezoBev) in pts with MPeM. Methods: In this phase 2 study, eligible pts with histologically confirmed MPeM, ECOG PS 0-1, and prior platinum and pemetrexed treatment were treated with 1200 mg of atezolizumab and 15 mg/kg of bevacizumab IV every 21 days until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or withdrawal. Primary endpoint was confirmed ORR by RECIST 1.1 by independent radiology review. Duration of response (DOR), PFS and OS were pre-specified secondary endpoints. Results: Among 20 enrolled pts (3/2017 - 2/2019), median age was 63 (range, 33-87) years, 12 (60%) were female, 12 (60%) had PS 0, and 2 (10%) had biphasic MPeM. Among 20 evaluable pts (median cycles 14), confirmed ORR was 35% (7 pts; 95% CI: 15.4-59.2) (median DOR 8.8 m). Responses were ongoing in 5/7 (71.4%) pts at data cutoff. The median follow-up was 20.5 months. Six deaths were observed during follow-up, and the 1-year OS was 79% (95% CI: 52 – 91) (median OS ~ NR). Median PFS was estimated as 17.6 m (95% CI: 9.1 – NR). The 1-year PFS was 54% (95% CI: 28 – 74). Grade 3 (no grade 4/5) treatment-emergent adverse events occurred in 10 (50%) pts; most common being hypertension (40%) and anemia (10%). Two (10%) pts had grade 3 immune-related adverse events. Translational studies are ongoing. Conclusions: AtezoBev showed promising and durable efficacy in relapsed/refractory MPeM with acceptable safety profile. Ongoing multiomic analyses of pre and on-treatment tissue/liquid biopsies obtained on all these pts will provide additional insight into mechanisms and biomarkers of response and resistance.
