Efficacy, Safety, and Health-Related Quality of Life With Camrelizumab Plus Pemetrexed and Carboplatin as First-Line Treatment for Advanced Nonsquamous NSCLC With Brain Metastases (CAP-BRAIN): A Multicenter, Open-Label, Single-Arm, Phase 2 Study
Bibliographic record
Abstract
IntroductionSystemic treatment options for NSCLC with brain metastases (BMs) are scarce. We evaluated the activity and safety of camrelizumab plus chemotherapy as first-line therapy in patients with advanced nonsquamous NSCLC with BMs.MethodsThis was a multicenter, single-arm, phase 2 trial (NCT04211090) conducted at seven hospitals in China. Eligible patients had treatment-naive metastatic nonsquamous NSCLC and BMs that were asymptomatic or symptoms controlled with dehydration therapy and no previous systemic treatment or local therapy for the target brain lesion. Patients received camrelizumab (200 mg) plus pemetrexed (500 mg/m2) and carboplatin (area under the curve 5) intravenously on day 1 of each 21-day cycle for four cycles, followed by maintenance with camrelizumab (200 mg) and pemetrexed (500 mg/m2) every 21 days until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or death. The primary end point was confirmed intracranial objective response rate according to modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1, which was primarily analyzed in the efficacy analysis set (EAS).ResultsA total of 45 patients were enrolled and treated (full analysis set), with 40 patients having at least one post-baseline tumor assessment (EAS). As of August 30, 2022, median follow-up duration was 12.5 months (95% confidence interval [CI]: 9.2–17.3). The confirmed intracranial objective response rate was 52.5% (95% CI: 36.1–68.5) in EAS and 46.7% (95% CI: 31.7–62.1) in full analysis set. The extracranial objective response rate was 47.5% (95% CI: 31.5–63.9) and 42.2% (95% CI: 27.7–57.8), respectively. Median intracranial progression-free survival was 7.6 months (95% CI: 4.6–not reached [NR]), median overall progression-free survival was 7.4 months (95% CI: 4.4–NR), and median overall survival was 21.0 months (95% CI: 15.9–NR). The most common treatment-related adverse events of grade 3 or higher were neutrophil count decrease (six [13.3%]) and anemia (four [8.9%]). One treatment-related death occurred owing to immune-related pneumonia. Linear mixed-effects model displayed that a positive trend for improvement in cognitive function and quality of life was observed based on Montreal Cognitive Assessment and Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy—Lung scores (p = 0.025, p < 0.001).ConclusionsCamrelizumab plus pemetrexed and carboplatin was found to have an activity with manageable toxicity and to improve cognitive function and quality of life for patients with nonsquamous NSCLC with BMs in the first-line setting.

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.
