Background: ICIs are the standard of care for the treatment of different advanced solid organ tumors. Especially in advanced non-small-cell lung cancer, never-smokers were shown to have an inferior outcome when compared to ex-smokers/smokers, suggesting that the smoking status could be a predictive marker for survival benefits under ICI treatment. Methods: Pts within the Swiss Alpine Tumor Immunology Registry (AlpineTIR) treated with an ICI were differentiated by their smoking status (ex-smokers/smokers versus never-smokers). Overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) from the start of the first ICI treatment were analyzed by smoking status. Further, subgroup analyses for OS and PFS were done for the most common disease entities. Results: A total of 702 pts were included, from which 455 pts (65%) were ex-smokers/smokers, 213 pts (30%) were never smokers, and 34 pts (5%) had an unknown smoking status. The median follow-up time from the administration of the first ICI to the statistical analysis was 2.7 years (95% CI: 2.3 to 3.2 years). The most frequent tumors were lung cancer (50%), melanoma (13%), renal cell cancer (7%), bladder cancer (6%), and others (24%). Across all indications, the median OS was 1.7 years (95% CI: 1.4 to 2.6 years) for never-smokers (n = 213) and 1.5 years (95% CI: 1.2 to 1.8 years) for smokers (n = 455) (HR: 1.10, 95% CI: 0.89 - 1.37). The median PFS was 6.3 months (95% CI: 4.4 to 8.3 months) for non-smokers and 6.2 months (95% CI: 5.2 to 7.0 months) for smokers (HR: 1.05, 95% CI: 0.87 - 1.27). In lung cancer pts, the median OS was 1.4 years (95% CI: 0.8 to 2.8 years) for never-smokers (n = 43) and 1.4 years (95% CI: 1.2 to 1.7 years) for smokers (n = 302) (HR: 1.02, 95% CI: 0.68 - 1.51). In melanoma pts, the median OS was 3.4 years (95% CI: 1.8 to not reached (NR) years) for never-smokers (n = 54) and 1.7 years (95% CI: 0.8 to NR years) for smokers (n = 34) (HR: 1.35, 95% CI: 0.72 - 2.53). In renal cell cancer pts, the median OS was 1.5 years (95% CI: 1.0 to 3.6 years) for never-smokers (n = 28) and 3.5 years (95% CI: 0.6 to NR years) for smokers (n= 17) (HR: 0.74, 95% CI: 0.31 - 1.78). In bladder cancer pts, the median OS was 1.8 years (95% CI: 0.6 to NR years) for never-smokers (n = 17) and 1.4 years (95% CI: 0.5 to NR years) for smokers (n = 26) (HR: 0.88, 95% CI: 0.39 - 1.99). Conclusions: No survival difference between smokers and non-smokers with metastatic solid organ tumors treated with ICIs could be detected. Interestingly, even in the subgroup of lung cancer pts, no difference was seen. Based on these data, the smoking status should not guide ICI treatment decisions.
