Prospective data about the prognostic value of immune-related adverse events (irAEs) in non-melanoma solid tumours are rare. The prognostic value of irAEs in patients treated with combined radiotherapy and immunotherapy is currently unknown. The prospective non-interventional ST-ICI trial investigates treatment response of tumour patients to anti–programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) immune checkpoint inhibitors alone and in combination with radiotherapy and possible predictive markers. Patients undergoing immunotherapy or immunoradiotherapy were surveyed for irAEs. A total of 104 patients were included of whom 29 patients (28%) developed irAEs. Additional radiotherapy was performed in 50 patients (48%). Main tumour entities within the entire cohort were non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) (44%) and head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (42%). The rate of irAEs did not differ in patients with and without radiotherapy (p = 0.668). Patients who developed irAEs had longer overall survival (OS) (median: 22.8 months versus 9.0 months without irAEs, p = 0.001) and progression-free survival (PFS) (median: 7.8 months versus 3.2 months without irAEs, p = 0.002). In the subgroup with combined radiotherapy, patients with irAEs also had longer OS (median: 22.8 months versus 7.1 months without irAEs, p = 0.005) and PFS (median: 8.8 months versus 3.0 months without irAEs, p = 0.005). On multivariate analysis only PD-L1 on tumour cells (p = 0.049) and irAEs (p = 0.001) remained independent predictors of OS. The development of irAEs represents a favourable prognostic parameter in patients undergoing immunotherapy and immunoradiotherapy for solid tumours. •ST-ICI prospectively enrolled patients with non-melanoma tumour treated with anti-programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1).•Immune-related adverse events (irAEs) correlated with improved overall survival and progression-free survival.•Combination of radiotherapy with PD-L1 inhibitors did not increase irAEs.•In the subgroup with radiotherapy irAEs also had a positive prognostic value.
