The Integration of Radiotherapy withImmunotherapy for the Treatment ofNon–Small Cell Lung CancerEric C. Ko1, David Raben2, and Silvia C. Formenti1
Abstract
Five-year survival rates for non–small cell lung cancer(NSCLC) range from 14% to 49% for stage I to stage IIIAdisease, and are
-
undergoing surgical resection (14, 15). A pooled analysis of 58medically operable stage I NSCLC patients from two phase IIItrials, STARS and ROSEL (which did notmeet their accrual goals),suggested that SBRT is better tolerated and may lead to improvedOS compared with surgery (16).
For patients with resectable locally advanced NSCLC, thestandard treatment is surgery followed by adjuvant chemotherapy(4). Adjuvant RT is indicated in patients with mediastinal nodalinvolvement and/or positive resection margins, with RT offeredeither sequentially or concurrently with adjuvant chemotherapy(4). Neoadjuvant chemoradiation and chemotherapy prior tosurgery are potential treatment options for select patients (4). Inpatients with locally advanced NSCLC who cannot undergosurgery, concurrent chemoradiationwith conventionally fraction-ated RT is typically recommended (4, 17). A meta-analysis of 25randomized clinical trials showed significantly decreased risk ofdeath with concurrent chemoradiation versus RT alone [hazardratio (HR), 0.71; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.64�0.80] andversus sequential chemoradiation (HR, 0.74; 95%CI, 0.62�0.89)in patients with stage III NSCLC (17).
Failure pattern analyses have shown that not only are locallyadvanced NSCLC patients at a significant risk of developingdistant metastases, but a notable proportion of recurrentpatients also show locoregional failure (18). Thus, defining theRT dose and fractionation for optimal locoregional tumorcontrol remains an important area of investigation. The roleof RT dose escalation was addressed by RTOG 0617, a phase IIIstudy of patients with unresectable stage IIIA/B NSCLC thatdemonstrated that concurrent chemoradiation with high-doseRT (74 Gy) was associated with decreased overall survival (OS)and increased incidence of treatment-related deaths and severeesophagitis versus chemoradiation with standard dose RT(60 Gy; ref. 19). Consequently, based on current evidence,conventionally fractionated RT dose beyond 60 Gy shouldgenerally be avoided in the setting of concurrent chemoradia-tion. A meta-analysis of 10 randomized controlled trialsobserved that accelerated or hyperfractionated RT provided amodest OS benefit compared with conventional RT in locallyadvanced NSCLC (HR, 0.88; 95% CI, 0.80�0.97; P ¼ 0.009;ref. 20). A study of adaptive RT, with treatment fields informedby 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG-PET/CT) conducted at mid-treatment, demonstrated improved locoregional tumor controlin patients with unresectable or inoperable stage II–III NSCLCwho were receiving concurrent chemotherapy (21). These resultshave provided the background for the ongoing phase II studyRTOG 1106, evaluating an individualized adaptive RT plan usedafter FDG-PET/CT compared with standard RT in unresectable orinoperable stage III NSCLC patients who receive concurrentchemotherapy. Multiple studies have also shown a positive localcontrol benefit of SBRT boost after concurrent chemoradiation inpatientswith locally advancedNSCLC,with no additional toxicitybeyond what is expected for conventional RT (22–25).
Despite improvements in clinical outcomes from current treat-ments (SBRT in early-stage node-negative NSCLC, and concurrentchemotherapy with conventionally fractionated RT in locallyadvanced NSCLC), there has been only a modest improvementin endpoints including freedom from progression, recurrence,and/ormetastasis aswell asOS (6, 7, 14, 15, 18). These limitationsprovide further rationale to support studies such as the combi-nation of RT or chemoradiation with immunotherapy.
Rationale for Integration of RT andImmunotherapy
In addition to providing effective local treatment at the irradi-ated tumor site, RT can also mediate an abscopal effect, a phe-nomenon in which tumor regression occurs in nonirradiatedlesions (26–28). Although the abscopal effect has been observedfor decades, the exact mechanisms underlying this phenomenonremained elusive for much of this time (27). Demaria andcolleagues were the first to link the abscopal effect of RT to animmune-mediated mechanism (29), and recent studies haveprovided further evidence that RT has the potential to activatea tumor-directed systemic immune response (26–28). With theadvent of immunotherapy, new areas of research have emerged,with significant recent interest in combining RT with immuno-therapeutic agents to potentially enhance the abscopal effect (26).
Preclinical evidence points to RT as a priming event for immu-notherapy. By modulating the host's immune system, RT canrender tumor cells more susceptible to T-cell–mediated attack(30). RT promotes the release of tumor neoantigens from dyingtumor cells, enhances MHC class I expression, and upregulateschemokines, cell-adhesion molecules, and other immunomodu-latory cell surface molecules, thereby potentiating an antitumorimmune response by triggering immunogenic cell death (Fig. 1;refs. 30, 31). The expression of programmed cell death ligand-1(PD-L1), a checkpoint activated by tumor cells to evade theimmune system, is upregulated in response to RT in preclinicalmodels of NSCLC and other tumors (Fig. 1; refs. 31–34). RT andPD-L1 blockade in mouse models of melanoma, colorectal can-cer, and breast cancer resulted in significantly delayed tumorgrowth, which was mediated by CD8þ T cells (32, 35). Similarsynergistic antitumor activity has also been noted in mousemodels of NSCLC (33, 34). Using a mouse model of coloncarcinoma, Dovedi and colleagues found that concurrent but notsequential administration of RT and anti–PD-1 therapy led totumor regression of distal nonirradiated lesions (36). In a studyusing amelanomamousemodel, RT given before or concurrentlywith CTLA-4 blockade delayed tumor growth and improvedsurvival, compared with mice treated with anti–CTLA-4 therapyalone (37). Importantly, when RT is combined with immunecheckpoint blockade, the dose per fraction of RT has been dem-onstrated in preclinical models to have an impact on its systemiceffects. RT-induced cytoplasmic double-stranded DNA is sensedby the cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS)-stimulator of interferongenes (STING) pathway to induce IFN-I, a key mediator ofdendritic cell recruitment and maturation (38–40). Vanpouille-Box and colleagues demonstrated a threshold dose per fraction ofRT administered beyond which TREX1 is induced (41); as anexonuclease, TREX1 digests cytosolic double-stranded DNA,thereby removing the substrate that triggers cGAS-STING signal-ing. These findings have significant clinical implications in theselection of dose and fractionation when RT is combined withimmunotherapy.
Immunotherapy for Systemic TumorControl
The advent of immunotherapy for NSCLC has provided oppor-tunities to enhance systemic tumor control by mechanisms dis-tinct from those that underlie the use of chemotherapy or agentsthat target tumor-driver mutations (Fig. 2; refs. 42, 43).

Multiple agents are under active investigation in NSCLC(Fig. 3). Checkpoint molecules are regulators of T-cell activationthat deliver negative or positive regulatory signals (44), andactivation of inhibitory checkpoints may enable tumors to evadethe immune system (45). Within the lymph node, CTLA-4 acts asan inhibitory checkpoint on T cells (42, 44). Ipilimumab and
tremelimumab are anti–CTLA-4 antibodies that prevent the bind-ing of CTLA-4 on T cells with CD80 and CD86 on antigen-presenting cells, thereby enhancing T-cell activation (46). Ipili-mumab is approved for the treatment of patients withmelanoma(47), whereas tremelimumab is still investigational. Within thetumor microenvironment, PD-1 is an inhibitory checkpoint that

downregulates effector T cells (45). Nivolumab and pembrolizu-mab are anti–PD-1 antibodies that bind and block PD-1 receptorson activated T cells, whereas durvalumab, atezolizumab, andavelumab are anti–PD-L1 antibodies that bind and block PD-L1on tumor cells (45). Blockade of the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway enablesT cells to recognize and destroy tumor cells (45). To date, only thePD-1 blockers pembrolizumab and nivolumab and the PD-L1blocker atezolizumab are FDA-approved for the treatment ofmetastatic NSCLC (10–12), with PD-L1 expression as a selectioncriteria for treatment with pembrolizumab (11). Durvalumab hasbeen recently approved by the FDA for the treatment of unresect-able stage III NSCLC patients whose disease has not progressedfollowing concurrent platinum-based chemoradiation (13). Ave-lumab is currently being tested in clinical trials in NSCLC.
Other targets for immunotherapy include OX-40 (48, 49), toll-like receptors (TLR; refs. 50, 51), IDO1 (52, 53), and cytokines(54). OX-40 agonists, TLR agonists, IDO1 inhibitors, cytokines,and cytokine blockers are currently in clinical development, andsome of these agents are being tested in combination with RT.

advanced or metastatic NSCLC. Durvalumab is the only check-point blocker with phase III data following definitive platinum-based concurrent chemoradiation in locally advanced, unresect-able stage III NSCLC patients without evidence of disease pro-gression (56). The phase III randomized PACIFIC study investi-gated durvalumab versus placebo in 713 patients with unresect-able stage III NSCLC who did not have disease progression after�2 cycles of platinum-based chemoradiation (56). The incidenceof adverse events (AE) of any cause was similar for durvalumabversus placebo for AEs of any grade (97% vs. 95%), grade 3/4 AEs(30% vs. 26%), and serious AEs (SAEs; 29% vs. 23%; ref. 56).Treatment-related AEs of all grades were reported in 68% ofdurvalumab-treated patients versus 53% of placebo-treatedpatients, and the incidence of grade 3/4 AEs was 12% versus4%, respectively (56). The most frequent grade 3/4 AEs of anycausewere pneumonia (4% in each arm) andpneumonitis (3% ineach arm), which were expected after definitive chemoradiation(56). The incidence of treatment-related grade 3/4 pneumonitiswas comparable at 1% in each arm (56). A planned interimanalysis of the PACIFIC trial showed that durvalumab signifi-cantly extended both the median progression-free survival (PFS)versus placebo (16.8 vs. 5.6months;HR, 0.52; 95%CI, 0.42–0.65;P

20.6 months; HR, 0.78; 95% CI, 0.64–0.95; P ¼ 0.016) amongthe 806 patients who had received prior concurrent chemo-radiation (64). The phase III STOP study investigated vacci-nation with belagenpumatucel-L as maintenance therapyafter platinum-based frontline chemotherapy with or withoutRT in stage III/IV NSCLC patients (n ¼ 532; ref. 66). Inthis trial, 5 treatment-related SAEs were reported, 3 in thebelagenpumatucel-L arm and 2 in the placebo arm (66).Although this trial did not meet its primary endpoint ofOS in all randomized patients, maintenance therapy withbelagenpumatucel-L was associated with significantly longermedian OS than placebo (28.4 vs. 16.0 months; HR, 0.61;95% CI, 0.38–0.96; P ¼ 0.032) among the 161 patients whohad received prior chemoradiation (66).
In a phase III study of adjuvant chemotherapy or RT fol-lowed by lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) cell adoptiveimmunotherapy in NSCLC patients (n ¼ 170; 63% with stageIII; 69 curative cases and 101 noncurative cases), there wereno serious side effects other than fever and rigors associatedwith LAK cell administration (67). In this study, RT followedby LAK immunotherapy resulted in improved 9-year survivalversus no adjuvant therapy, or adjuvant chemotherapy or RTalone (52% vs. 24%; P < 0.001; ref. 67).
In a phase II study investigating telomerase peptide vaccinationwith GV1001 after chemoradiation in inoperable stage III NSCLCpatients (n ¼ 23), no treatment-related SAEs were observed (68).Vaccination with GV1001 after chemoradiation led to specificimmune responses in 16 of 20 (80%) evaluable patients, with atrend toward longer median PFS in responders when comparedwith nonresponders (12.2 vs. 6.0 months; P ¼ 0.20; ref. 68). In aphase II study testing granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulat-ing factor (GM-CSF) with concurrent chemoradiation in 41patients withmetastatic solid tumors (n¼ 18withNSCLC), grade3/4 AEs of fatigue and hematologic findings were the mostcommon AEs observed in 6 and 10 patients, respectively (69).One patient experienced a grade 4 SAE of pulmonary embolismthat emerged during GM-CSF administration; however, nopatient discontinued treatment due to toxicity (69). GM-CSFcombined with concurrent chemoradiation resulted in abscopalresponses in 4 of 18 NSCLC patients (69). Finally, in a phase Ibdose-escalation study investigating RT followed by the immu-nocytokine NHS-IL2 in metastatic NSCLC patients (n ¼ 13)attaining disease control (at least stable disease) after first-lineplatinum-based chemotherapy, there were only 3 grade 3 AEsrelated to NHS-IL2 (70). Although no objective responses wereobserved in this study, long-term survival occurred in 2 of 13patients with good performance status 4 years after the start offirst-line chemotherapy, including 1 patient with long-termtumor control (70).
Ongoing TrialsPlanned or ongoing clinical trials investigating RT combined
with immunotherapy (including concurrent and sequentialapproaches) in patients with NSCLC are presented in Table 1.The majority of these trials are phase I or phase II studiesinvestigating RT combined with checkpoint blockers. The onlyphase III study (RTOG 3505), which is currently recruitingpatients, is investigating the use of nivolumab versus placeboafter concurrent chemoradiation in patients with stage III unre-sectable NSCLC.
Areas of Investigation and FutureDirections
Although early evidence points to the clinical viability ofcombining RT and immunotherapy inNSCLC,many unansweredquestions remain. For example, at what stage of NSCLC is thistreatment approach most effective? In addition to the metastaticand locally advanced NSCLC settings, it is conceivable thatpatients with early-stage diseasemay also potentially benefit fromthese treatment combinations. Patients with early-stage NSCLCstill have high rates of relapse after definitive resection or SBRT, asevidenced by 5-year survival rates of 30% to 49%; thus, therecontinues to be an unmet need for postresection adjuvant therapyand post-SBRT maintenance/consolidation therapy (3, 71).
The optimal sequence and timing of RT and immunotherapyremain investigational. Available data in NSCLC showed clinicalbenefit when immunotherapy was given after RT (� chemother-apy; refs. 56, 57, 67, 68). A subgroup analysis of the PACIFIC studyfound that the PFS improvement in favor of durvalumab wasmore pronounced among patients who had their last RT dose 14 days from RT completion. To date, few studies have testedconcomitant administration of immunotherapy with RT (69, 72,73), and only a few case reports have described a treatment benefitwith RT after immunotherapy (62, 63). The type of immunother-apy used in combinationwith RT is likely to play a role inwhethera concurrent or sequential strategy is more efficacious. For exam-ple, RT may elicit more effective antitumor immunity if admin-istered concurrently with anti–CTLA-4 therapy (as both therapiesact at the early stage of the antitumor immune response), whereasin other cases, RT may be more effective if administered prior toanti–PD-1/PD-L1 therapy, as PD-1/PD-L1 signaling typically actsat a later stage of the antitumor immune response. Clinical trialsthat evaluate the optimal therapeutic sequence are needed, as arepreclinical data to better understand the underlying mechanismsat play.
There are conflicting data on changes in PD-L1 expressionafter chemoradiation. A small retrospective analysis in locallyadvanced NSCLC (n ¼ 15) found that neoadjuvant chemoradia-tion led to a decrease in PD-L1 expression (74), whereas retro-spective analyses in patients with other tumor types foundthat neoadjuvant chemoradiation increased PD-L1 expression(75, 76). It is possible that the differential effects could beaccounted for by differences in tumor types, staging, and/ortreatment. Additional studies are needed to clarify this issue andits therapeutic implications.
The optimal RT dose and schedule to ensure adequate primingfor immunotherapy, and the extent of tumor that should beirradiated while minimizing local toxicity, remain to be defined.Preclinical studies using breast and colon carcinoma mousemodels (41, 77) and a clinical study in patients with melanoma(78) suggest that fractionated dosing is preferred to a single-dosestrategy to elicit an abscopal response when paired with anti–CTLA-4 antibodies. However, among fractionated strategies,it is not clear if the dosing should be modeled after ablative

(SABR/SBRT) or subablative RT strategies (41). In addition, incases where high doses of RT are warranted, the use of noveltechnologies that cause less damage to healthy tissues, such asproton beam RT (4), should be taken into consideration aspotential combination partners for immunotherapy.
The optimal RT field size also remains undefined. For example,if RT is utilized in combination with immunotherapy in settingswhere the malignancy is not confined to just one region, it is notclear if all gross disease or only a specific site (e.g., the primarytumor) should be irradiated, as large-field irradiation may have anegative impact on circulating immune cells and may alsoincrease the risk of toxicity (79).
As more clinical research on the integration of RT with immu-notherapy evolves, it will be important to establish and validatepredictive biomarkers to identifywhichpatientswouldbenefit themost from RT and immunotherapy.
ConclusionsCurrently available data, though limited, suggest that the pairing
of RT with immunotherapy may be a safe and viable treatment
approach in patients with NSCLC. Ongoing clinical trials will addto the growing evidence on this promising combination.
