Importance Immune-related adverse events (irAEs) have been associated with the efficacy of PD-1 (programmed cell death protein 1) inhibitors in patients with melanoma, but whether such an association exists for non–small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has remained unknown.


Question Are immune-related adverse events associated with outcome of nivolumab treatment in patients with non–small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC)?


Findings In this multi-institutional medical record review including 134 patients with advanced or recurrent NSCLC treated with nivolumab monotherapy, landmark and multivariable analyses showed that immune-related adverse events were significantly associated with a better treatment outcome.


Meaning Early recognition and proper management of immune-related adverse events are important to maximize the therapeutic benefit of immune-checkpoint inhibitors in patients with NSCLC.
