Talimogene laherparepvec (T-VEC) is the first oncolytic virus therapy approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (in 2015) for the treatment of advanced-stage melanoma. Despite a paucity of Phase III trials for T-VEC as a therapy for non-melanoma cancers, successful off-label use of T-VEC for this purpose has been reported in the literature.
We sought to review the literature describing T-VEC as a treatment for non-melanoma cancer.
Systematic searches of the PubMed literature database and ClinicalTrials.gov website were performed in July 2020, focusing on T-VEC in combination with non-melanoma cancer, including squamous cell carcinoma, Merkel cell carcinoma, sarcoma, cutaneous B-cell lymphoma, and cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. Articles were screened based on their title and abstract.
Nine articles with 87 patients were included. Relevant articles included case reports, case series, and Phase I and Phase II trials. The majority of patients in the studies had refractory cancers or had been heavily pretreated. Overall, T-VEC demonstrated efficacy for non-melanoma cancer, both independently and in combination with biologics.
T-VEC has demonstrated efficacy for non-melanoma cancers. Phase III trials of T-VEC for this indication are warranted to expand its clinical utility.
talimogene laherparepvec(T-VEC)是美国食品药品监督管理局于2015年批准的首个用于治疗晚期黑色素瘤的溶瘤病毒疗法。尽管关于T-VEC治疗非黑色素瘤癌症的III期试验较少,但文献报道了T-VEC在此用途上成功的非标签使用情况。
我们试图回顾描述T-VEC治疗非黑色素瘤癌症的文献。
2020年7月对PubMed文献数据库和ClinicalTrials.gov网站进行了系统检索,重点关注T-VEC与非黑色素瘤癌症(包括鳞状细胞癌、默克尔细胞癌、肉瘤、皮肤B细胞淋巴瘤和皮肤T细胞淋巴瘤)的联合应用。根据文章标题和摘要进行筛选。
纳入了9篇文章,共87例患者。相关文章包括病例报告、病例系列以及I期和II期试验。研究中的大多数患者患有难治性癌症或接受过大量预处理。总体而言,T-VEC在非黑色素瘤癌症中显示出疗效,无论是单独使用还是与生物制剂联合使用。
T-VEC已在非黑色素瘤癌症中显示出疗效。有必要开展T-VEC针对该适应症的III期试验以扩大其临床应用。
