BACKGROUND: The role of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in NSCLC patients with EGFR mutations are controversial. In this study, we aim to investigate the therapeutic efficacy of ICIs alone or in combination in patients with EGFR mutated NSCLC in late-line settings, and explore the factors that may predict the efficacy of ICIs. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We retrospectively collected the clinical and pathological information of 75 patients with confirmed EGFR mutations. All patients have developed acquired resistance to EGFR-TKIs, and were treated with ICIs in late line settings from January 2019 to January 2021, at Shandong Caner Hospital and Institute. Therapeutic efficacy was evaluated by tumor response and survival. RESULTS: The median follow-up period was 7.3months (range 1.8-31.8 months). The overall response rate (ORR) was 8.0%, and the disease control rate (DCR) was 78.7%. The median PFS for all patients was 3.9 months (95% CI, 2.7-5.0), while the median OS was 9.9 months (95% CI, 5.3-14.6). We found that patients with longer response duration to EGFR-TKIs (≥10 months) showed a longer PFS when treated with immunotherapy compared with patients with shorter PFS-TKI (<10 months), the median PFS in two groups were 5.2 months [95%CI 4.2-6.2] and 2.8 months [2.0-3.6]) respectively (HR, 0.53, 95%CI, 0.31-0.91, =0.005). In exploratory analysis, we found that concurrent extracranial radiotherapy and higher body mass index (BMI) are associated with longer PFS ( values are 0.006 and 0.021 respectively). CONCLUSIONS: We found that combination regimen of immunotherapy plus chemotherapy plus antiangiogenetic agents may yield longer survival in patients with EGFR mutated NSCLC. We also found that patients with longer PFS-TKI, concurrent extracranial radiotherapy and higher BMI may benefit more from immunotherapy.
背景:免疫检查点抑制剂(ICI)在表皮生长因子受体(EGFR)突变的非小细胞肺癌(NSCLC)患者中的作用存在争议。在本研究中,我们旨在调查ICI单药或联合用药在晚期EGFR突变NSCLC患者中的治疗效果,并探索可能预测ICI疗效的因素。 患者与方法:我们回顾性收集了75例确诊EGFR突变患者的临床和病理信息。所有患者均对EGFR酪氨酸激酶抑制剂(EGFR-TKI)产生了获得性耐药,并于2019年1月至2021年1月在山东省肿瘤医院和研究所接受了晚期ICI治疗。通过肿瘤反应和生存情况评估治疗效果。 结果:中位随访期为7.3个月(范围1.8 - 31.8个月)。总缓解率(ORR)为8.0%,疾病控制率(DCR)为78.7%。所有患者的中位无进展生存期(PFS)为3.9个月(95%置信区间,2.7 - 5.0),而中位总生存期(OS)为9.9个月(95%置信区间,5.3 - 14.6)。我们发现,与EGFR-TKI反应持续时间较短(<10个月)的患者相比,EGFR-TKI反应持续时间较长(≥10个月)的患者接受免疫治疗时PFS更长,两组的中位PFS分别为5.2个月[95%置信区间4.2 - 6.2]和2.8个月[2.0 - 3.6])(风险比,0.53,95%置信区间,0.31 - 0.91,P = 0.005)。在探索性分析中,我们发现同期进行颅外放疗和较高的体重指数(BMI)与较长的PFS相关(P值分别为0.006和0.021)。 结论:我们发现免疫治疗联合化疗加抗血管生成药物的联合方案可能使EGFR突变NSCLC患者的生存期更长。我们还发现,PFS-TKI较长、同期进行颅外放疗和BMI较高的患者可能从免疫治疗中获益更多。
