Introduction: Immunotherapy has revolutionized the treatment of NSCLC, but little is known about the activity of programmed cell death 1 and programmed death ligand 1 blockade across age groups.Methods: We retrospectively evaluated patients with NSCLC who initiated programmed cell death 1 and programmed death ligand 1 inhibitors from January 2013 through July 2017. Medical records and radiographic imaging were reviewed to determine progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). We also compared immunotherapy-related toxicities, steroid use, and hospitalizations by age.Results: Of the 245 patients, 26.1% were younger than 60 years, 31.4% were age 60 to 69 years, 31.0% were age 70 to 79 years, and 11.4% were age 80 years or older. The median PFS times by age group were as follows: younger than 60 years, 1.81 months; age 60 to 69 years, 2.53 months; age 70 to 79 years, 3.75 months; and age 80 years or older, 1.64 months (log-rank p value = 0.055). The median OS times by age group were as follows: younger than 60 years, 13.01 months; age 60 to 69 years, 14.56 months; age 70 to 79 years, 12.92 months; and age 80 years or older, 3.62 months (log-rank p value = 0.011). Rates of immunotherapy-related toxicities, steroid use, and hospitalizations did not differ by age.Conclusions: Although the OS and PFS benefits of immunotherapy differ by age, the rates of toxicity are similar regardless of age.
