The most effective regimen is unclear for patients with recurrent or metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (R/M HNSCC). We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) investigating only systemic therapy for R/M HNSCC.
This systematic review followed PRISMA and the Cochrane Collaboration Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions. Endpoints included overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS) and overall response rates (ORR).
55 RCTs from 1990-November 2019 qualified for review (n=12132). Only PD-1/PDL-1 inhibitors increased OS in R/M HNSCC platinum-resistant disease against their control (HR = 0·79, 95%CI 0·70-0.90, p<0·001), especially for PD-L1 ≥ 1% expressing tumours (HR = 0·72, 95%CI 0·60-0·86, p<0·001). PFS was prolonged for anti-EGFR agents against methotrexate when used in a second line setting (HR = 0·74, 95 %CI 0·62-0·87, p=0·001), and when cetuximab (HR = 0·60, 95%CI 0·49-0·72, p<0·0001) and panitumumab (HR = 0·76, 95%CI 0·65-0·89, p=0·001) were introduced to platinum-based regimens for first-line treatment.
PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors may represent the future of R/M HNSCC treatment. However, EGFR inhibitors may still play improve clinical outcomes.
对于复发性或转移性头颈部鳞状细胞癌(R/M HNSCC)患者,最有效的治疗方案尚不清楚。我们对仅针对 R/M HNSCC 进行全身治疗的随机对照试验(RCT)进行了系统评价和荟萃分析。
本系统评价遵循 PRISMA 和 Cochrane 协作组干预措施系统评价手册。终点包括总生存期(OS)、无进展生存期(PFS)和总缓解率(ORR)。
1990 年至 2019 年 11 月期间的 55 项 RCT 符合审查条件(n=12132)。只有 PD-1/PDL-1 抑制剂在 R/M HNSCC 铂类耐药疾病中相对于对照组增加了 OS(HR=0.79,95%CI 0.70-0.90,p<0.001),特别是对 PD-L1≥1%表达的肿瘤(HR=0.72,95%CI 0.60-0.86,p<0.001)。在二线治疗中,抗 EGFR 药物(西妥昔单抗 HR=0.60,95%CI 0.49-0.72,p<0.0001;帕尼单抗 HR=0.76,95%CI 0.65-0.89,p=0.001)和 panitumumab(HR=0.76,95%CI 0.65-0.89,p=0.001)用于二线治疗时,与甲氨蝶呤相比,PFS 延长。
PD-1/PD-L1 抑制剂可能代表 R/M HNSCC 治疗的未来。然而,EGFR 抑制剂可能仍然可以改善临床结果。
