Correlation between immune-related adverse events and efficacy of PD-(L)1 inhibitors in small cell lung cancer: a multi-center retrospective study. Respir Res 2024; 25:256. [PMID: 38907273 PMCID: PMC11193240 DOI: 10.1186/s12931-024-02890-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/18/2023] [Accepted: 06/19/2024] [Indexed: 06/23/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients receiving PD-(L)1 inhibitors frequently encounter unusual side effects known as immune-related adverse events (irAEs). However, the correlation of irAEs development with clinical response in small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is unknown. METHOD This retrospective study enrolled 244 stage IV SCLC patients who receiving PD-(L)1 inhibitors from 3 cancer centers. The correlation of irAEs with objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS) were evaluated. RESULTS 140 in 244 (57%) patients experienced irAEs, with 122 (87.1%) experiencing one and 18 (12.9%) experiencing two or more. Compared to patient without irAEs, those developing irAEs had higher ORR (73.6% vs. 52.9%, P < 0.001) and DCR (97.9% vs. 79.8%, P < 0.001), as well as prolonged median PFS (8.8 vs. 4.5 months, P < 0.001) and OS (23.2 vs. 21.6 months, P < 0.05). Among the different spectra of irAEs, thyroid dysfunction, rash, and pneumonitis were the most powerful indicator for improved PFS. When analyzed as a time-dependent covariate, the occurrence of irAEs was associated with significant improvement in PFS rather than in OS. Furthermore, patients experiencing multisystem irAEs displayed a longer PFS and OS compared with single-system irAEs and the irAE-free ones. IrAEs grade and steroid use did not impact the predictive value of irAEs on PFS. CONCLUSION The presence of irAEs predicts superior clinical benefit in SCLC. Patients who develop multi-system irAEs may have an improved survival than those developed single-system irAEs and no-irAEs. This association persists even when systemic corticosteroids were used for irAEs management.

Lee E, Jang JY, Yang J. Uncommon Adverse Events of Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors in Small Cell Lung Cancer: A Systematic Review of Case Reports. Cancers (Basel) 2024; 16:1896. [PMID: 38791974 PMCID: PMC11119772 DOI: 10.3390/cancers16101896] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/08/2024] [Revised: 05/03/2024] [Accepted: 05/10/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to systematically review case reports documenting rare adverse events in patients with small cell lung cancer (SCLC) following the administration of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). METHODS A systematic literature review was conducted to identify case reports detailing previously unreported adverse drug reactions to ICIs in patients with SCLC. The scope of the literature reviewed was restricted to case studies on SCLC published up to 31 December 2023. RESULTS We analyzed twenty-four studies on ICI use for patients with SCLC. There were six reports on atezolizumab, four on durvalumab, and three on adverse events from monotherapy with nivolumab. Reports involving combination treatments were the most frequent, with a total of six, predominantly involving using nivolumab in combination with ipilimumab. Additionally, there was one report each on using pembrolizumab, nofazinilimab, sintilimab, tislelizumab, and toripalimab. We collected detailed information on the clinical course, including patient and disease characteristics, symptoms, treatment for each adverse event, and recovery status. Among the patients included in the case reports, 21 out of 24 (87.5%) had extensive-stage SCLC when initiating ICI therapy, with only 1 patient diagnosed with limited-stage SCLC. Respiratory system adverse events were most common, with seven cases, followed by neurological, endocrinological, and gastroenterological events. Three case reports documented adverse events across multiple systems in a single patient. In most cases, patients showed symptom improvement; however, four studies reported cases where patients either expired without symptom improvement or experienced sequelae. CONCLUSIONS Efforts to develop reliable biomarkers for predicting irAEs continue, with ongoing research to enhance predictive precision. Immunotherapy presents diverse and unpredictable adverse events, underscoring the need for advanced diagnostic tools and a multidisciplinary approach to improve patient management.

Prognostic Nutritional Index Predicts Efficacy and Immune-Related Adverse Events of First-Line Chemoimmunotherapy in Patients with Extensive-Stage Small-Cell Lung Cancer. J Inflamm Res 2024; 17:1777-1788. [PMID: 38523686 PMCID: PMC10959246 DOI: 10.2147/jir.s450804] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/21/2023] [Accepted: 03/12/2024] [Indexed: 03/26/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Currently, there is a lack of well-established markers to predict the efficacy of chemoimmunotherapy in small-cell lung cancer (SCLC). Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), advanced lung cancer inflammation index (ALI) and prognostic nutritional index (PNI) are associated with prognosis in several tumors, whereas their predictive role in SCLC remains unclear. Methods A retrospective study was conducted at Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center, involving extensive-stage SCLC (ES-SCLC) patients who received first-line chemoimmunotherapy between January 2020 and December 2021. Peripheral blood biomarkers were extracted from medical records and their correlation with prognosis and immune-related adverse events (IRAEs) was analyzed. Results A total of 114 patients were included. Patients with a low PLR, high ALI and high PNI had prolonged progression-free survival (PFS) compared to those with a high PLR, low ALI and low PNI. Patients with a low NLR, low PLR, high ALI and high PNI had prolonged overall survival (OS) compared to those with a high NLR, high PLR, low ALI and low PNI. Cox regression model showed that PNI was an independent risk factor for both PFS and OS. ROC curve showed that PNI outperforms NLR, PLR and ALI in predicting both PFS and OS. The PNI-based nomogram demonstrated strong predictive capability for both PFS and OS. In addition, there was a significant correlation between PNI and IRAEs. Conclusion A high baseline PNI might be associated with improved prognosis and the occurrence of IRAEs in ES-SCLC patients treated with first-line chemoimmunotherapy.

[PMID: 38043121 DOI: 10.1007/s13304-023-01708-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/05/2023] [Accepted: 11/11/2023] [Indexed: 12/05/2023]
Abstract
This study aimed to examine the effects of surgical resection on the treatment of limited-stage small cell lung cancer and identify patient characteristics that may indicate a benefit from surgical resection. We retrospectively reviewed medical data from patients diagnosed with small cell lung cancer between January 2013 and December 2020 at three hospitals. A total of 478 patients were included in the study, 153 patients received surgery treatment and 325 patients received non-surgery treatment. Survival differences between the surgical resection group and the nonsurgical resection group were analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method and the log-rank test. The overall survival in the surgical resection group was significantly improved compared to that in the nonsurgical resection group (HR: 0.58, 95% CI: 0.370-0.876, p = 0.0126). Surgical resection significantly improved overall survival compared to nonsurgical resection in stage I disease (HR: 0.56, 95% CI: 0.34-0.94, p = 0.029) and stage IIA disease (HR: 0.60, 95% CI: 0.40-0.92, p = 0.019). However, no significant differences in overall survival were found between surgical resection and nonsurgical resection in stage IIB disease (HR: 0.86, 95% CI: 0.57-1.29, p = 0.46) and stage III disease (HR: 0.99, 95% CI: 0.71-1.39, p = 0.97). The overall survival of patients who underwent lobectomy was significantly better than that of patients who underwent sublobular resection (HR: 1.85, 95% CI: 1.15-4.16, p = 0.021) and who underwent pneumonectomy (HR: 2.04, 95% CI: 1.29-5.28, p = 0.009). Surgical resection should be recommended for patients diagnosed with stage I-IIA SCLC. When deciding on the surgical type, it is preferable to choose lobectomy over sublobar resection or pneumonectomy.

Abstract
Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is the most malignant lung cancer with rapid growth and early metastasis, but still lacks effective targeted therapies to improve the prognosis. Here, we demonstrated that a novel oncogenic protein, cell migration inducing hyaluronic binding protein (CEMIP), was robustly overexpressed in SCLC tissues than that in noncancerous tissues and high expression of CEMIP predicted poor outcomes in clinical specimens and in large sample size cohorts from public databases (GEPIA 2 and CPTAC). Liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-MS) and in vitro/in vivo functional assays indicated that CEMIP contributed to the proliferation by increasing glutamine consumption and their metabolites (glutamate and glutathione) levels in SCLC cells. Moreover, the addition of a GLS1 inhibitor CB-839 dramatically reduced CEMIP-induced SCLC cell proliferation. Mechanistically, beyond as a scaffold protein, CEMIP facilitates glutamine-dependent cell proliferation through inhibiting c-Myc ubiquitination and increasing c-Myc stabilization and nuclear accumulation via hindering the interaction between FBXW7 (a E3 ubiquitin ligase) and its target substrate c-Myc. Taken together, our findings reveal a novel oncogenic role of CEMIP in sustaining SCLC growth via FBXW7/c-Myc-dependent axis, and provide new evidence that inhibition of CEMIP might be a potential therapeutic strategy for the treatment of SCLC.

Abstract
Background Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have become one of the standard treatment options for advanced lung cancer. However, adverse events (AEs), particularly immune–related AEs (irAEs), caused by these drugs have aroused public attention. The current network meta-analysis (NMA) aimed to compare the risk of AEs across different ICI–based regimens in patients with advanced lung cancer. Methods We systematically searched the PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library databases (from inception to 19 April 2021) for relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that compared two or more treatments, with at least one ICI administered to patients with advanced lung cancer. The primary outcomes were treatment–related AEs and irAEs, including grade 1–5 and grade 3–5. The secondary outcomes were grade 1–5 and grade 3–5 irAEs in specific organs. Both pairwise and network meta-analyses were conducted for chemotherapy, ICI monotherapy, ICI monotherapy + chemotherapy, dual ICIs therapy, and dual ICIs + chemotherapy for all safety outcomes. Node–splitting analyses were performed to test inconsistencies in network. Sensitivity analyses were adopted by restricting phase III RCTs and studies that enrolled patients with non–small cell lung cancer. Results Overall, 38 RCTs involving 22,178 patients with advanced lung cancer were enrolled. Both pooled incidence and NMA indicated that treatments containing chemotherapy increased the risk of treatment–related AEs when compared with ICI-based regimens without chemotherapy. As for grade 1–5 irAEs, dual ICIs + chemotherapy was associated with the highest risk of irAEs (probability in ranking first: 50.5%), followed by dual-ICI therapy (probability in ranking second: 47.2%), ICI monotherapy (probability in ranking third: 80.0%), ICI monotherapy + chemotherapy (probability in ranking fourth: 98.0%), and finally chemotherapy (probability in ranking fifth: 100.0%). In grade 3–5 irAEs, subtle differences were observed; when ranked from least safe to safest, the trend was dual ICIs therapy (60.4%), dual ICIs + chemotherapy (42.5%), ICI monotherapy (76.3%), ICI monotherapy + chemotherapy (95.0%), and chemotherapy (100.0%). Furthermore, detailed comparisons between ICI–based options provided irAE profiles based on specific organ/system and severity. Conclusions In consideration of overall immune–related safety profiles, ICI monotherapy + chemotherapy might be a better choice among ICI–based treatments for advanced lung cancer. The safety profiles of ICI–based treatments are various by specific irAEs and their severity. Systematic Review Registration https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero, identifier CRD42021268650
