After treatment with an immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) is discontinued, retreatment with an ICI is a potential sequential treatment, but the clinical efficacy/safety data for this treatment of recurrent and/or metastatic head and neck cancer (R/M-HNC) are limited.
AIMS/OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of retreatment with nivolumab in R/M HNC.
We divided the 29 eligible R/M-HNC patients who discontinued ICI treatment at our hospital into two cohorts to analyze the clinical characteristics and the efficacy of the salvage therapy: the Niv cohort (nivolumab retreatment) and the no-Niv cohort (no nivolumab retreatment).
The Niv cohort's median overall survival (OS) of 17.5 months (95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.7-32.3) was significantly prolonged compared to that of the no-Niv cohort: 5.8 months (95%CI: 2.4-9.2, = .034). The Niv cohort achieved objective response rate of 16.7% and a disease control rate of 50.0%. No adverse events > grade 3 occurred in the Niv cohort.
Nivolumab retreatment is an option for sequential treatment post-immunotherapy.
在停用免疫检查点抑制剂(ICI)治疗后,再次使用ICI进行治疗是一种潜在的序贯治疗方法,但针对复发性和/或转移性头颈癌(R/M-HNC)的这种治疗的临床疗效/安全性数据有限。
本研究旨在评估纳武利尤单抗再次治疗R/M-HNC的疗效和安全性。
我们将在我院停用ICI治疗的29例符合条件的R/M-HNC患者分为两个队列,以分析临床特征和挽救治疗的疗效:纳武利尤单抗队列(纳武利尤单抗再次治疗)和非纳武利尤单抗队列(未进行纳武利尤单抗再次治疗)。
纳武利尤单抗队列的中位总生存期(OS)为17.5个月(95%置信区间[CI]:2.7-32.3),与非纳武利尤单抗队列相比显著延长:5.8个月(95%CI:2.4-9.2,P = 0.034)。纳武利尤单抗队列的客观缓解率为16.7%,疾病控制率为50.0%。纳武利尤单抗队列未发生3级以上不良事件。
纳武利尤单抗再次治疗是免疫治疗后序贯治疗的一种选择。
