Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Introduction: Checkpoint inhibitors have demonstrated activity in brain lesions in several tumor types, including NSCLC. CheckMate 227 Part 1 (NCT02477826) met its two independent co-primary endpoints, including improved overall survival (OS) for NIVO + IPI vs histology-based chemotherapy (chemo) in patients (pts) with tumor programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression ≥ 1%. Benefit was also observed in pts with PD-L1 < 1%. Eligible pts included those with treated, asymptomatic brain metastases (mets). Here we present a post-hoc analysis of efficacy and safety in pts with and without baseline (BL) brain mets. Methods: Eligible pts were chemo-naive, with stage IV or recurrent NSCLC, no known sensitizing EGFR/ALK alterations, and ECOG PS 0–1. Pts with treated brain mets who were asymptomatic for ≥ 2 wks prior to randomization were eligible; corticosteroids equivalent to ≤ 10 mg of prednisone daily were permitted if stable or decreasing for ≥ 2 wks prior to randomization. Pts with PD-L1 ≥ 1% (n = 1189) were randomized 1:1:1 to NIVO 3 mg/kg Q2W + IPI 1 mg/kg Q6W, NIVO 240 mg Q2W, or chemo; pts with PD-L1 < 1% (n = 550) were randomized 1:1:1 to NIVO 3 mg/kg Q2W + IPI 1 mg/kg Q6W, NIVO 360 mg Q3W + chemo, or chemo. Pts were treated until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or ≤ 2 y of immunotherapy. Results: BL characteristics were generally similar between pts with and without BL brain mets, except that a greater proportion of pts with BL brain mets were < 65 years of age and had non-squamous histology. Efficacy data are shown in the Table. Any-grade nervous system adverse events were reported in 46% of pts with BL brain mets treated with NIVO + IPI and 42% of those treated with chemo, most were grade 1–2. Conclusion: In this post-hoc analysis of pts with advanced NSCLC, NIVO + IPI appeared to provide similar benefit in pts with and without BL brain mets. No new safety signals were identified.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
