Background: Emerging data suggest that concomitant medications (CM) influence response to ICI. CM impact the host microbiome which may mitigate tumor-immune responsiveness. PPI use in patients treated with ICI has been associated with worse survival. Few data exist regarding the effects of PPI use in terms of prior chemotherapy or in risk for immune related adverse events (irAE) (e.g., colitis). Methods: This retrospective study of patients with advanced cancer treated with ICI between 2011 and 2019 was conducted at The Ohio State University. Patients who received ICI as either single agent or combination were included. Clinical data was abstracted from chart review, including CM, toxicity, and survival. Overall survival (OS) was evaluated to date of death or last contact. Associations between OS and proton pump inhibitor (PPI) use were studied using log-rank tests and Cox regression analyses overall and by the groups of whether prior chemotherapy was administered and timing from chemotherapy to ICI. The associations between PPI and incidence of irAE (overall and colitis) were assessed by chi-square tests. Results: We identified 1,091 patients treated with ICI, of whom 415 (38%) received PPI at time of ICI. Most common cancers were NSCLC and melanoma; most common therapy was PD1/L1 (Table). PPI use was associated with shorter OS in patients treated as first line therapy (HR = 1.46, 95% CI = [1.11, 1.91], p=0.006) and in second line and beyond (HR = 1.30, 95% CI = [1.10, 1.53], p=0.002). PPI use was associated with shorter OS in patients treated with ICI for those without prior chemotherapy (HR = 1.47, 95% CI = [1.17, 1.86], p=0.001). When evaluated by timing from chemotherapy to ICI, PPI use was associated with shorter OS only in patients where last chemotherapy was > 1 year from ICI (HR = 1.99, 95% CI [1.15, 3.45], p=0.014) but not for patients with chemotherapy within 1 year of ICI (HR = 1.01, 95% CI = [0.79, 1.29], p=0.960). The use of PPI was not associated with incidence of irAE (p=0.317) or colitis in particular (p=0.781). Conclusions: PPI use was associated with shorter survival in patients treated with ICI across a broad variety of cancers and in first line of therapy or beyond. In patients with recent chemotherapy (<1 year), PPI use was not associated with survival, which may be due to disruption of the microbiome by chemotherapy. Further study is needed to determine the impact of CM (e.g, PPI), on outcomes of patients treated with ICI.
