We evaluated tumor burden dynamics in advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients treated with commercial PD-1 inhibitors to identify imaging markers associated with improved overall survival (OS). The study included 160 advanced NSCLC patients treated with commercial nivolumab or pembrolizumab monotherapy as a part of clinical care. Tumor burden dynamics were studied for the association with OS. Tumor burden change at best overall response (BOR) ranged from −100% to +278% (median: +3.5%). Response rate (RR) was 18% (29/160). Current and former smokers had a higher RR than never smokers (p=0.04). Durable disease control for at least 6 months was noted in 26 patients (16%), which included 10 patients with stable disease as BOR. Using a landmark analysis, patients with <20% tumor burden increase from baseline within 8 weeks of therapy had longer OS than patients with ≥20% increase (median OS:12.4 vs. 4.6 months, p<0.001). Patients with <20% tumor burden increase throughout therapy had significantly reduced hazards of death (HR=0.24, Cox p<0.0001) after adjusting for smoking (HR=0.86, p=0.61) and baseline tumor burden (HR=1.55, p=0.062), even though some patients met criteria for RECIST progression while on therapy. One patient (0.6%) had atypical response pattern consistent with pseudoprogression. Objective response or durable disease control was noted in 24% of advanced NSCLC patients treated with commercial PD-1 inhibitors. A tumor burden increase of <20% from baseline during therapy was associated with longer OS, proposing a practical marker of treatment benefit. Pseudoprogression is rare in NSCLCs treated with PD-1 inhibitors.
