Programmed death receptor-1 blocking antibodies (anti-PD1) are a new standard of care in many cancer types. Patients benefit from improved survival but have the risk of immune-related adverse events (irAE). We evaluated if medical imaging procedures, used for anti-tumour response assessment, can detect irAEs.
All consecutive patients treated with anti-PD1 and with a medical imaging acquisition performed within 2 weeks with irAEs ≥2 were retrospectively included. Data were gathered from June 2014 to February 2017, and a central review was performed. The primary and secondary end-points were i) to evaluate the overall detection rate of irAEs by medical imaging and ii) to provide a comprehensive radiological description of irAEs.
Fifty-three patients (31 women, 22 men; average age: 61 years) were included. The primary tumour was melanoma (n = 32), lung cancer (n = 18) and other (n = 3). Patients were treated with nivolumab (n = 27) or pembrolizumab (n = 26). Of 74 medical imaging procedures analysed (ratio = 1.4 medical imaging per patient), 55 irAE were detected. The detection rate was overall: 74% (95 confidence interval: 63-84%), positron emission tomography with 18F-fludeoxyglucose integrated with computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT): 83% (n = 10/12), magnetic resonance imaging: 83% (n = 5/6), computed tomography scan: 79% (n = 19/24), ultrasonography: 70% (n = 19/27), standard X-rays: 40% (n = 2/5), lung/mediastinum: 100% (n = 7/7), enterocolitis: 100% (n = 8/8), hypophysitis: 100% (n = 3/3), thyroiditis: 75% (n = 15/20), hepatitis: 67% (n = 2/3), arthralgia or arthritis: 40% (n = 2/5) and pancreas: 28% (n = 2/7).
Medical imaging detected 74% of irAE in patients treated with anti-PD1. Beyond response assessment, medical imaging can detect irAE and guide towards specific management. We described the most frequent sites and patterns of imaging findings.
程序性死亡受体-1 阻断抗体(抗 PD1)是许多癌症类型的新治疗标准。患者受益于改善的生存,但存在免疫相关不良事件(irAE)的风险。我们评估了用于肿瘤反应评估的医学成像程序是否可以检测到 irAE。
回顾性纳入了所有接受抗 PD1 治疗且在 irAE≥2 时在 2 周内进行了医学影像学检查的连续患者。数据收集于 2014 年 6 月至 2017 年 2 月,进行了中心审查。主要和次要终点为:i)评估医学影像学对 irAE 的总体检出率,ii)提供 irAE 的全面影像学描述。
共纳入 53 名患者(31 名女性,22 名男性;平均年龄:61 岁)。原发病灶为黑色素瘤(n=32)、肺癌(n=18)和其他(n=3)。患者接受纳武利尤单抗(n=27)或派姆单抗(n=26)治疗。在分析的 74 项医学影像学检查中(比率=1.4 项医学影像学检查/患者),检测到 55 例 irAE。总检出率为 74%(95%置信区间:63-84%),18F-氟脱氧葡萄糖正电子发射断层扫描/计算机断层扫描(18F-FDG PET/CT):83%(n=10/12),磁共振成像(MRI):83%(n=5/6),计算机断层扫描(CT)扫描:79%(n=19/24),超声检查:70%(n=19/27),标准 X 射线:40%(n=2/5),肺/纵隔:100%(n=7/7),肠炎:100%(n=8/8),垂体炎:100%(n=3/3),甲状腺炎:75%(n=15/20),肝炎:67%(n=2/3),关节痛或关节炎:40%(n=2/5)和胰腺:28%(n=2/7)。
抗 PD1 治疗患者的医学影像学检测到 74%的 irAE。除了反应评估外,医学影像学还可以检测到 irAE,并指导特定的治疗。我们描述了最常见的影像学表现部位和模式。
