e24003 Background: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) can lead to durable responses in some patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with less toxicity than chemotherapy. However, ICI can cause idiosyncratic adverse effects and radiographic responses can be difficult to interpret, making prognostication difficult and potentially impeding a timely transition to hospice. Our purpose was to explore end of life (EOL) outcomes in NSCLC patients treated with ICI. Methods: Retrospective data were collected on all patients with NSCLC started on ICI at single center (2014-2018) and who died before last known follow-up. EOL outcomes included hospitalizations, ICU admissions, timing/location of hospice referral and death. Charts were reviewed to identify barriers to hospice referrals or enrollment. Outcomes were compared to published data of similar cohort (2008-2010) from same institution treated with chemotherapy. Results: Out of 143 patients who died, 83 (58%) had internal hospice referral by cancer center; 15 (11%) were referred by external provider. Hospitalization frequency was associated with higher likelihood of internal hospice referral (p 0.04). Internal hospice referral was not associated with differences in age, sex, race, ethnicity, smoking history, cancer subtype, treatment response/toxicity, or overall survival. Internal hospice referral was associated with decreased rates of death on the hospital floor (p < 0.001) and the intensive care unit (ICU, p < 0.001). When compared to chemotherapy cohort, there was similar rate of hospice referral (68% vs. 74%, p 0.33) but higher rates of starting new systemic therapy within 30 days of death (17% vs. 6%, p 0.001) and last dose within 14 days of death (13% vs. 5%, p 0.005). Other EOL outcomes (hospitalization frequency, death in ICU) were similar, although ICI cohort trended towards a lower rate of death on the floor than chemotherapy cohort (16% vs. 25%, p 0.06). Barriers to hospice referral were not well documented by providers but lack of family support for home EOL care was a common reason patients declined hospice. Conclusions: ICI was associated with a higher rate of systemic treatment at EOL as compared to a historical chemotherapy cohort, although the rates of hospice referral and other outcomes were similar.
