Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the prognostic value of combining PD-1 inhibitors (toripalimab or karelizumab) with chemotherapy for treating recurrent or metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma (R/M NPC). METHODS This study retrospectively analyzed 142 patients with R/M NPC diagnosed from January 2018 to January 2022. Patients were divided into PD-1 inhibitor combined with chemotherapy group (53 patients) and chemotherapy alone group (89 patients) according to the treatment regimen. Objective remission rate (ORR), progression-free survival (PFS), and treatment-related toxicity were evaluated in both groups. RESULTS The overall response rate (P=0.006) and objective remission rate (ORR) (P=0.002) were significantly higher in the combination chemotherapy group than in the chemotherapy-alone group. The incidences of hypothyroidism (P<0.001) and reactive capillary hyperplasia (P<0.001) were significantly higher in the combination chemotherapy group than in the chemotherapy-alone group. Cox regression analysis showed that treatment regimen (P<0.001), age (P<0.001), treatment duration (P=0.002), and number of treatment lines (P=0.034) were independent prognostic factors affecting patients' PFS. The prediction model constructed based on these prognostic factors had high accuracy in predicting 1-year and 2-year PFS (AUC 0.746 and 0.760, respectively). CONCLUSION PD-1 inhibitors in combination with chemotherapy significantly improved the ORR and median PFS of patients with R/M NPC, while maintaining a favorable safety profile. Treatment regimen, age, number of lines and cycle of therapy were important independent prognostic factors for improving PFS in patients.

Efficacy of Anti-PD1 Blockade in Treating Recurrent or Metastatic Nasopharyngeal Cancer: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis. Oral Oncol 2023; 136:106242. [PMID: 36413976 DOI: 10.1016/j.oraloncology.2022.106242] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/12/2022] [Revised: 11/03/2022] [Accepted: 11/03/2022] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Anti-PD1 antibody has emerged as a promising immunotherapeutic option in patients with recurrent and/or metastatic nasopharyngeal cancers (RM-NPC). We aim to summarise existing evidence on the use of anti-PD1 antibodies in the treatment of these patients and compare its effectiveness with standard-of-care palliative chemotherapy. Our secondary aim is to explore potential combination therapies with anti-PD1 antibodies. MATERIALS AND METHODS PubMed, Embase and Cochrane databases were systematically searched for studies comparing the efficacy of various anti-PD1 antibodies in the treatment of RM-NPC (either as first or second line treatment) from inception to 2 September 2022. Meta-analyses were performed to correlate the various anti-PD1 antibodies with primary endpoints including overall response rate disease control rate (DCR), progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). RESULTS Eighteen studies with 1,887 patients met the inclusion criteria. The use of anti-PD1 antibody monotherapy as second-line treatment of RM-NPC revealed an ORR of 23 % (95 % CI = 19 %-28 %) and DCR of 51 % (95 % CI = 42 %-60 %). The ORRs for first-line as well as a combination of first and second-line treatments were 21 % (95 % CI = 15 % - 30 %) and 22 % (95 % CI = 6 % - 56 %, I2 = 75 %) respectively. The 12-month PFS and 12-month OS was also 27 % (95 % CI = 21 %-33 %) and 63 % (95 % CI = 53 %-72 %) respectively. ORR was much higher at 73 % (95 % CI = 32 %-94 %) when anti-PD1 antibodies were combined with Gemcitabine plus Cisplatin. CONCLUSION Anti-PD1 antibody demonstrate considerable activity in previously treated RM-NPC patients. Combining anti-PD1 antibodies with gemcitabine and cisplatin chemotherapy enhanced the efficacy of treatment.

Abstract
Simple Summary Recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma is one of the major causes of death among NPC patients. However, there are no international guidelines for the treatment of patients with recurrent NPC now. In this article, we summarize past publications on clinical research and mechanistic studies related to recurrent NPC, combined with the experience and lessons learned by our institutional multidisciplinary team in the treatment of recurrent NPC. We propose an objective protocol for the treatment of recurrent NPC. Abstract Recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), which occurs in 10–20% of patients with primary NPC after the initial treatment modality of intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), is one of the major causes of death among NPC patients. Patients with recurrent disease without distant metastases still have a chance to be saved, but re-treatment often carries more serious toxicities or higher risks. For this group of patients, both otolaryngologists and oncologists are committed to developing more appropriate treatment regimens that can prolong patient survival and improve survival therapy. Currently, there are no international guidelines for the treatment of patients with recurrent NPC. In this article, we summarize past publications on clinical research and mechanistic studies related to recurrent NPC, combined with the experience and lessons learned by our institutional multidisciplinary team in the treatment of recurrent NPC. We propose an objective protocol for the treatment of recurrent NPC.

Front Oncol 2022; 12:843707. [PMID: 35992878 PMCID: PMC9381837 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2022.843707] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/26/2021] [Accepted: 06/06/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction Hyperprogressive disease (HPD) is a paradoxically rapid disease progression during or shortly after antitumor treatment, especially immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). Various diagnosis criteria of HPD cause heterogeneous incidence rates in different clinical research, and there is no consensus on potential risk factors associated with HPD occurrence. Hence, we aimed to summarize incidence of HPD in ICI treatment for solid tumors. Clinicopathological factors associated with HPD are also analyzed. Methods Clinical studies about HPD during/after ICI treatment of solid malignancies are included. Pubmed, Embase, and Cochrane library were searched for eligible studies published before October 7. The Newcastle–Ottawa scale was used to assess the quality of the included studies. Random effect and fixed effect models were, respectively, used for pooling incidence of HPD and analysis of risk factors for HPD. Heterogeneity, subgroup analysis, and publication bias were also analyzed. All meta-analysis was performed via R software (y -40v4.0.2). Results Forty-one studies with 6009 patients were included. The pooled incidence of HPD was 13.2% (95% CI, 11.2%–15.4%). Head and neck cancer (HNC) had the highest incidence of HPD (18.06%), and melanoma had the lowest (9.9%). Tumor types (P = .0248) and gender ratio (P = .0116) are sources of heterogeneity of pooled incidence of HPD. For five clinicopathological factors associated with HPD, only programmed cell death protein 1 ligand 1 (PD-L1) positivity was a preventive factor (odds ratio = 0.61, P <.05). High lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) level (OR = 1.51, P = .01), metastatic sites >2 (OR = 2.38, P <.0001), Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Score ≥2 (OR = 1.47, P = .02), and liver metastasis (OR = 3.06, P <.0001) indicate higher risk of HPD. Conclusions The pooled incidence of HPD was less than 15%, and HNC had the highest incidence of HPD. LDH and PD-L1 are remarkable biomarkers for prediction of HPD in future medical practice.

Abstract
Background Advanced recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a relatively common nasopharyngeal skull base disease for which there is no uniform treatment modality. Not all patients are satisfied with the efficacy of immunotherapy with or without chemotherapy. Methods This study included patients who underwent salvage endoscopic skull base nasopharyngectomy after immunotherapy between February 2017 and June 2021. Patient survival information was analyzed. Relevant publications were retrieved from five databases from December 1, 2011 to December 1, 2021. The outcomes of patients with advanced recurrent NPC who received programmed death 1 (PD-1) immunotherapy were collected and analyzed. Results Nine patients who underwent skull base surgery, all of whom had previously undergone PD-1 immunotherapy, were included in this study. The 2-year overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) rates of these patients were 25% and 29.2%, respectively. Eight publications involving 688 patients with advanced recurrent NPC were also included in this study. The combined complete response (CR), partial response (PR), and stable disease (SD) values were 2%, 23%, and 29%, respectively. The combined DCR included the three disease conditions, CR, PR, and SD, with a value of 53%. PD-1 monotherapy was more effective than PD-1 combination chemotherapy. Conclusions PD-1 immunotherapy may improve the remission rate in patients with recurrent NPC. Salvage endoscopic skull base nasopharyngectomy may be another option for patients with poor immunotherapeutic outcomes. For patients with advanced recurrent NPC, better evidence-based medical data are needed to determine whether they should receive immunotherapy before or after surgery.

Abstract
Cancer immunotherapy with immune checkpoint inhibitors has revolutionized traditional cancer therapy. Although many patients have achieved long-term survival benefits from immune checkpoint inhibitors treatment, there are still some patients who develop rapid tumor progression after immunotherapy, known as hyperprogressive disease. Here we summarize current knowledge on hyperprogressive disease after immune checkpoint inhibitors treatment to promote more thorough understanding of the disease. This review focuses on multiple aspects of hyperprogressive disease, especially the tumor microenvironment, with the hope that more reliable biomarkers and therapeutics could be established for hyperprogressive disease in the future.

Abstract
Gastric cancer (GC) is a malignant tumor with poor survival outcomes. Immunotherapy can improve the prognosis of many cancers, including GC. However, in clinical practice, not all cancer patients are sensitive to immunotherapy. Therefore, it is essential to identify effective biomarkers for predicting the prognosis and immunotherapy sensitivity of GC. In recent years, chemokines have been widely reported to regulate the tumor microenvironment, especially the immune landscape. However, whether chemokine-related lncRNAs are associated with the prognosis and immune landscape of GC remains unclear. In this study, we first constructed a novel chemokine-related lncRNA risk model to predict the prognosis and immune landscape of GC patients. By using various algorithms, we identified 10 chemokine-related lncRNAs to construct the risk model. Then, we determined the prognostic efficiency and accuracy of the risk model. The effectiveness and accuracy of the risk model were further validated in the testing set and the entire set. In addition, our risk model exerted a crucial role in predicting the infiltration of immune cells, immune checkpoint genes expression, immunotherapy scores and tumor mutation burden of GC patients. In conclusion, our risk model has preferable prognostic performance and may provide crucial clues to formulate immunotherapy strategies for GC.

Construction and Comprehensive Prognostic Analysis of a Novel Immune-Related lncRNA Signature and Immune Landscape in Gastric Cancer. Int J Genomics 2022; 2022:4105280. [PMID: 35083327 PMCID: PMC8786486 DOI: 10.1155/2022/4105280] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/19/2021] [Revised: 12/01/2021] [Accepted: 12/21/2021] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Gastric cancer (GC) is a malignant tumor with high mortality and poor prognosis. Immunotherapies, especially immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI), are widely used in various tumors, but patients with GC do not benefit much from immunotherapies. Therefore, effective predictive biomarkers are urgently needed for GC patients to realize the benefits of immunotherapy. Recent studies have indicated that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) could be used as biomarkers in the immune landscape of multiple tumors. In this study, we constructed a novel immune-related lncRNA (irlncRNA) risk model to predict the survival and immune landscape of GC patients. First, we identified differentially expressed irlncRNAs (DEirlncRNAs) from RNA-Seq data of The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). By using various algorithms, we constructed a risk model with 11 DEirlncRNA pairs. We then tested the accuracy of the risk model, demonstrating that the risk model has good efficiency in predicting the prognosis of GC patients. Inner validation sets were further used to confirm the effectiveness of the risk model. In addition, our risk model has a preferable performance in predicting the immune infiltration status of tumors, immune checkpoint status of the patients, and immunotherapy score. In conclusion, our risk model may provide insights into the prognosis of and immunotherapy strategy for GC.

Braz J Otorhinolaryngol 2021; 88 Suppl 1:S70-S81. [PMID: 34045134 PMCID: PMC9734274 DOI: 10.1016/j.bjorl.2021.04.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/19/2021] [Revised: 03/14/2021] [Accepted: 04/05/2021] [Indexed: 02/08/2023] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Evidence of programmed death-1 inhibitors in nasopharyngeal carcinoma has been accumulated. However, previous clinical studies were basically small sample size. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to summarize existing studies to comprehensively compare programmed death-1 inhibitors in nasopharyngeal carcinoma with or without chemotherapy. METHODS Different databases were searched for full-text publications with a programmed death-1 inhibitor with or without chemotherapy. No study-to-study heterogeneity was detected, and fixed-effect models were applied to synthesize data. RESULTS Seven studies were included. The mean progression-free survival duration of programmed death-1 inhibitors treatment was 4.66 months. The 6 month progression-free survival rate was 50%, however, the12 month progression-free survival rate fell to 27%. Comparing with programmed death-1 inhibitor monotherapy, the objective response rate was higher in combination therapy (pooled RR=2.90, 95% CI: 2.07-4.08). The partial response rate was higher in patients receiving programmed death-1 in association with chemotherapy (pooled RR=3.09, 95% CI: 2.15-4.46), In contrast, the progressive disease rate was lower in combination therapy group (pooled RR=0.06, 95% CI: 0.01-0.31). Stable disease condition was comparable (pooled RR=0.90, 95% CI: 0.50-1.64) with or without chemotherapy. Programmed death-1 single use or combined with chemotherapy did not influence the total adverse events occurrence (pooled RR=0.99, 95% CI: 0.93-1.05). However, combination therapy could increase the risk of serious adverse events such as anemia, thrombocytopenia, and neutropenia. CONCLUSION The present study summarized the efficacy and safety of programmed death-1 inhibitors in nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Combination therapy showed higher anti-tumor activity except for higher risk of myelosuppression.
