In order to ascertain the impact of a biomarker-based (personalized) strategy, we compared outcomes between US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved cancer treatments that were studied with and without such a selection rationale.
Anticancer agents newly approved (September 1998 to June 2013) were identified at the Drugs@FDA website. Efficacy, treatment-related mortality, and hazard ratios (HRs) for time-to-event endpoints were analyzed and compared in registration trials for these agents. All statistical tests were two-sided.
Fifty-eight drugs were included (leading to 57 randomized [32% personalized] and 55 nonrandomized trials [47% personalized], n = 38 104 patients). Trials adopting a personalized strategy more often included targeted (100% vs 65%, P < .001), oral (68% vs 35%, P = .001), and single agents (89% vs 71%, P = .04) and more frequently permitted crossover to experimental treatment (67% vs 28%, P = .009). In randomized registration trials (using a random-effects meta-analysis), personalized therapy arms were associated with higher relative response rate ratios (RRRs, compared with their corresponding control arms) (RRRs = 3.82, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 2.51 to 5.82, vs RRRs = 2.08, 95% CI = 1.76 to 2.47, adjusted P = .03), longer PFS (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.41, 95% CI = 0.33 to 0.51, vs HR = 0.59, 95% CI = 0.53 to 0.65, adjusted P < .001) and a non-statistically significantly longer OS (HR = 0.71, 95% CI = 0.61 to 0.83, vs HR = 0.81, 95% CI = 0.77 to 0.85, adjusted P = .07) compared with nonpersonalized trials. Analysis of experimental arms in all 112 registration trials (randomized and nonrandomized) demonstrated that personalized therapy was associated with higher response rate (48%, 95% CI = 42% to 55%, vs 23%, 95% CI = 20% to 27%, P < .001) and longer PFS (median = 8.3, interquartile range [IQR] = 5 vs 5.5 months, IQR = 5, adjusted P = .002) and OS (median = 19.3, IQR = 17 vs 13.5 months, IQR = 8, Adjusted P = .04). A personalized strategy was an independent predictor of better RR, PFS, and OS, as demonstrated by multilinear regression analysis. Treatment-related mortality rate was similar for personalized and nonpersonalized trials.
A biomarker-based approach was safe and associated with improved efficacy outcomes in FDA-approved anticancer agents.
为了确定基于生物标志物(个性化)策略的影响,我们比较了美国食品药品监督管理局(FDA)批准的癌症治疗药物在有或没有这种选择依据的情况下的研究结果。
在Drugs@FDA网站上识别1998年9月至2013年6月新批准的抗癌药物。对这些药物的注册试验中的疗效、治疗相关死亡率以及事件发生时间终点的风险比(HRs)进行分析和比较。所有统计检验均为双侧检验。
纳入了58种药物(产生57项随机试验[32%为个性化试验]和55项非随机试验[47%为个性化试验],n = 38104例患者)。采用个性化策略的试验更常纳入靶向药物(100%对65%,P <.001)、口服药物(68%对35%,P =.001)和单一药物(89%对71%,P =.04),并且更频繁地允许交叉接受实验性治疗(67%对28%,P =.009)。在随机注册试验(使用随机效应荟萃分析)中,与非个性化试验相比,个性化治疗组的相对缓解率比值(RRRs,与其相应对照组相比)更高(RRRs = 3.82,95%置信区间[CI] = 2.51至5.82,而非RRRs = 2.08,95% CI = 1.76至2.47,校正P =.03),无进展生存期更长(风险比[HR] = 0.41,95% CI = 0.33至0.51,而非HR = 0.59,95% CI = 0.53至0.65,校正P <.001),总生存期虽无统计学显著差异但也更长(HR = 0.71,95% CI = 0.61至0.83,而非HR = 0.81,95% CI = 0.77至0.85,校正P =.07)。对所有112项注册试验(随机和非随机)的实验组分析表明,个性化治疗与更高的缓解率(48%,95% CI = 42%至55%,而非23%,95% CI = 20%至27%,P <.
