Cancer Manag Res 2024; 16:741-751. [PMID: 38974092 PMCID: PMC11227331 DOI: 10.2147/cmar.s461964] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/30/2024] [Accepted: 06/18/2024] [Indexed: 07/09/2024] Open
Abstract
Purpose The purpose of this study was to investigate the predictive value of Pan-Immune-Inflammation Value (PIV) combined with the PILE score for immunotherapy in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and to construct a nomogram prediction model to provide reference for clinical work. Patients and Methods Patients with advanced NSCLC who received ICIs treatment in Qingdao Municipal Hospital from January 2019 to December 2021 were selected as the study subjects. The chi-square test, Kaplan-Meier survival analysis, and Cox proportional risk regression analysis were used to evaluate the prognosis. The results were visualized by a nomogram, and the performance of the model was judged by indicators such as the area under the subject operating characteristic curve (AUC) and C-index. The patients were divided into high- and low-risk groups by PILE score, and the prognosis of patients in different risk groups was evaluated. Results Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that immune-related adverse events (irAEs) were prognostic factors for overall survival (OS) improvement, and ECOG PS score ≥2, bone metastases before treatment, and high PIV expression were independent risk factors for OS. The C index of OS predicted by the nomogram model is 0.750 (95% CI: 0.677-0.823), and the Calibration and ROC curves show that the model has good prediction performance. Compared with the low-risk group, patients in the high-risk group of PILE were associated with a higher inflammatory state and poorer physical condition, which often resulted in a poorer prognosis. Conclusion PIV can be used as a prognostic indicator for patients with advanced NSCLC treated with ICIs, and a nomogram prediction model can be constructed to evaluate the survival prediction of patients, thus contributing to better clinical decision-making and prognosis assessment.

Comparative efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors combined with chemotherapy in patients with advanced driver-gene negative non-small cell lung cancer: A systematic review and network meta-analysis. Heliyon 2024; 10:e30809. [PMID: 38774326 PMCID: PMC11107224 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e30809] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/11/2023] [Revised: 05/06/2024] [Accepted: 05/06/2024] [Indexed: 05/24/2024] Open
Abstract
Objective To evaluate the efficacy of different combinations of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) and chemotherapy (CT) in the treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods We obtained relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs) from databases such as PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and The Cochrane Library up to May 31, 2023. The analysis of clinical prognostic factors was performed using R 4.2.3 and STATA 15.0. The main outcomes measured were overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS), while secondary outcomes included the objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), and treatment-related adverse events of grade 3-5 severity (Grade ≥3 TRAE). Results A total of 17 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were conducted between 2012 and 2023, involving 7792 patients. These trials evaluated 11 different treatment methods. The results of these trials showed that in terms of overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS), the combination of tislelizumab with chemotherapy and the combination of camrelizumab with chemotherapy were particularly effective. Moreover, when compared with other combination therapies, pembrolizumab combined with chemotherapy showed superiority in terms of disease control rate (DCR) and objective response rate (ORR). Subgroup analyses further demonstrated that the addition of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) to chemotherapy significantly improved PFS and OS in patients without liver metastasis and in those with brain metastasis. Additionally, carboplatin-based combination therapy was found to confer favorable survival benefits in terms of PFS, while cisplatin-based combination therapy showed the most favorable outcomes in terms of OS. The results of subgroup analyses for overall survival (OS) showed that the combination of immunotherapy and chemotherapy yielded positive outcomes in specific subgroups. These subgroups were characterized by PD-L1 Tumor Proportion Score (TPS) of 50 % or higher, usage of anti-PD-1 medications, age below 65, male gender, smoking history, and non-squamous cell carcinoma histology. Superior effectiveness was demonstrated only in extending the progression-free survival (PFS) of female patients and patients with squamous carcinoma. Meanwhile, other patient cohorts did not show the same level of improvement. Conclusions Tislelizumab, camrelizumab or pembrolizumab combined with chemotherapy may be the optimal first-line treatment strategies for NSCLC.

Comparison of efficacy and safety of PD-1/PD-L1 combination therapy in first-line treatment of advanced NSCLC: an updated systematic review and network meta-analysis. Clin Transl Oncol 2024:10.1007/s12094-024-03442-3. [PMID: 38625495 DOI: 10.1007/s12094-024-03442-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/14/2024] [Accepted: 03/04/2024] [Indexed: 04/17/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The use of immune checkpoint inhibitors has led to an increase in randomized controlled trials exploring various first-line combination treatment regimens. With the introduction of new PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors, there are now more clinical options available. For the first time, the AK105 monoclonal antibody Penpulimab, developed in China, was included. The AK105-302 Phase III trial studied the efficacy and safety of Penpulimab combined with chemotherapy in patients with advanced or metastatic squamous NSCLC. To determine the optimal treatment options, we conducted an updated network meta-analysis to compare the effectiveness and safety of these regimens. METHODS The system retrieves data from Chinese and English electronic databases, Clinical Trials, and the gov Clinical Trial Registration website up to September 6, 2023. The study indirectly compared the efficacy and safety of PD-1/PD-L1 combination regimens, including overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), objective response rate (ORR), all-grade adverse events, and above-grade III adverse events. Subgroup analyses were conducted based on programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) level, histological type, ECOG score, sex, and smoking history. RESULTS Nineteen RCTS were included, with a total of ten thousand eight hundred patients. Penpulimab plus chemotherapy (Pen + CT) provided the best OS (HR = 0.55, 95% CI 0.38-0.81) for PD-L1 patients with non-selective advanced NSCLC. Except Nivolumab plus Ipilimumab (Niv + Ipi), other PD-1/PD-L1 combination therapies significantly extended PFS compared with CT, and Nivolumab plus Bevacizumab combined with chemotherapy (Niv + Bev + CT) (HR = 0.43, 95% CI 0.26-0.74) provided the best PFS benefit and was comparable to Pen + CT (HR = 1.0) for PFS prolongation. For ORR, except Niv + Ipi, all the other regimens significantly improved ORR compared with CT. In terms of safety, except Tor + CT, the incidence of any-grade AEs or grade ≥ 3 adverse events may be higher than those of chemotherapy. The subgroup analysis revealed that for patients with PD-L1 levels below 1%, treatment with Tor + CT resulted in the best progression-free survival (HR = 0.47, 95% CI 0.25-0.86). For patients with PD-L1 levels of 1% or higher, Sintilimab plus chemotherapy (Sin + CT) (HR = 0.56, 95% CI 0.31-0.99) and Camrelizumab plus chemotherapy (Cam + CT) (HR = 0.43, 95% CI 0.28-0.64) were associated with the best overall survival and progression-free survival, respectively. For patients with SqNSCLC, combined immunotherapy may provide greater survival benefits. For patients with Non-sqNSCLC, Niv + Bev + CT and Tor + CT were associated with optimal PFS and OS, respectively. Cam + CT provided the best PFS in male patients with a history of smoking and an ECOG score of 0. In both female and non-smoking patient subgroups, Pem + CT was associated with the best PFS and OS benefits. CONCLUSION For patients with advanced non-selective PD-L1 NSCLC, two effective regimens are Pen + CT and Niv + Bev + CT, which rank first in OS and PFS among all patients. Cam + CT and Tor + CT have advantages for OS in patients with SqNSCLC and Non-sqNSCLC, respectively. Niv + Ipi + CT provided the best OS benefit for patients with an ECOG score of 0, while Pem + CT may be the most effective treatment for patients with an ECOG score of 1. Pem + CT has a better effect on female patients and non-smokers. Sin + CT was found to be the most effective treatment for male patients and the smoking subgroup, while Cam + CT was found to be the most effective for PFS. In addition, Tor + CT was associated with the best PFS for patients with negative PD-L1 expression. Pem + CT was found to significantly improve both PFS and OS compared to CT alone. For patients with positive PD-L1 expression, Sin + CT and Cam + CT were found to be optimal for OS and PFS, respectively. It is important to note that, with the exception of Tor + CT, the toxicity of the other combinations was higher than that of CT alone.

Abstract
Aim: Real-world adverse event (AE) data are limited for first-line (1L) treatments in advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods: Using Flatiron Health Spotlight data, information for a pre-specified list of AEs was abstracted and described among patients with advanced NSCLC receiving 1L nivolumab + ipilimumab (NIVO + IPI), NIVO + IPI + chemotherapy and other approved immuno-oncology (IO) therapy + chemotherapy combination therapies. Results: Fatigue, pain, dyspnea, weight loss, decreased appetite, diarrhea, nausea/vomiting, cough, constipation and rash were the most common AEs. Rates of AEs were generally numerically similar across the three cohorts. The majority of patients received treatment for AEs and approximately one fourth of the patients had hospitalization due to their AEs. Conclusion: The real-world safety experiences of patients treated with 1L NIVO + IPI-based regimens were in general similar to those treated with other approved IO + chemotherapy combination therapies.

Real-world predictors of survival in patients with limited-stage small-cell lung cancer in Manitoba, Canada. Front Oncol 2023; 13:1191920. [PMID: 38125937 PMCID: PMC10731283 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2023.1191920] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/22/2023] [Accepted: 11/03/2023] [Indexed: 12/23/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Although therapy for limited-stage small-cell lung cancer (LS-SCLC) is administered with curative intent, most patients relapse and eventually die of recurrent disease. Chemotherapy (CT) with concurrent radiotherapy (RT) remains the standard of care for LS-SCLC; however, this could evolve in the near future. Therefore, understanding the current prognostic factors associated with survival is essential. Objective This real-world analysis examines factors associated with long-term survival in patients with LS-SCLC treated with CT in Manitoba, Canada. Methods A retrospective cohort study was conducted using Manitoba Cancer Registry and CancerCare Manitoba records. Eligible patients were aged >18 years and had cytologically confirmed LS-SCLC diagnosed between January 1, 2004, and December 31, 2018, for which they received CT ± RT. Baseline patient, disease, and treatment characteristics and survival duration, characterized as short (<6 months), medium (6-24 months), and long term (>24 months), were extracted. Overall survival (OS) was estimated at one, two, and five years and assessed using Kaplan-Meier methods and Cox proportional hazards models. Results Over the 15-year study period, 304 patients met the eligibility criteria. Long-term survivors comprised 39.1% of the cohort; at diagnosis, this subgroup was younger, more likely to have Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status (ECOG PS) 0, and have normal lactate dehydrogenase, sodium, and hemoglobin levels. OS estimates for the entire cohort at one, two, and five years were 66%, 38%, and 18%, respectively. In the ECOG PS 0 subgroup, OS estimates at one, two, and five years were 85%, 52%, and 24%, respectively; OS estimates were 60%, 35%, and 17%, respectively, for ECOG PS 1-2 and were 47%, 23%, and 10%, respectively, for ECOG PS 3-4. OS was significantly higher among patients with normal serum sodium and hemoglobin levels than those with abnormal levels. Univariable hazard regression models found that ECOG PS, age at diagnosis, receipt of prophylactic cranial irradiation (PCI), and thoracic RT were associated with survival. On multivariable hazard regression, ECOG PS and receipt of PCI were associated with survival. Conclusion Survival for greater than two years in patients with LS-SCLC treated with CT ± RT was associated with ECOG PS and receipt of PCI.
