In this study, we aimed to evaluate the efficacy of PD-1 inhibitors in combination with concurrent CRT/CT for patients with inoperable ESCC in the real world and to find predictors for the efficacy of PD-1 inhibitors. Patients with unresectable ESCC were evaluated at baseline. The clinical data of patients with ESCC who received CRT/CT with or without PD-1 inhibitor were collected and retrospectively reviewed. The objective response rate (ORR), overall survival (OS), and progression-free survival (PFS) were analyzed statistically. A total of 96 patients with ESCC were included. As compared with a control group (n = 48), the PFS (6.0 months vs. 5.0 months, p = 0.025) and 6-month OS (70.8% vs. 47.9%, p < 0.001) were significantly longer in the ICIs group (n = 48). There were no significant differences in ORR and 12-month OS between the two groups. In addition, we found that body mass index (BMI) was associated with PFS (HR 0.85, 95% CI 0.76−0.95, and p = 0.004) and OS (HR 0.82, 95% CI 0.69−0.98, and p = 0.033) in the ICIs group. PD-1 inhibitors combined with CRT/CT is safe with acceptable complications and improved survival for patients with inoperable ESCC. CRT plus PD-1 inhibitor has superior antitumor efficacy. BMI was positively correlated with the efficacy of PD-1 inhibitors.
在这项研究中,我们旨在评估 PD-1 抑制剂联合同期放化疗(CRT/CT)治疗不可切除的 ESCC 患者的疗效,并寻找 PD-1 抑制剂疗效的预测因素。在基线时评估不可切除 ESCC 患者。收集并回顾性分析接受 CRT/CT 联合或不联合 PD-1 抑制剂治疗的 ESCC 患者的临床数据。统计分析客观缓解率(ORR)、总生存期(OS)和无进展生存期(PFS)。共纳入 96 例 ESCC 患者。与对照组(n=48)相比,ICIs 组(n=48)的 PFS(6.0 个月比 5.0 个月,p=0.025)和 6 个月 OS(70.8%比 47.9%,p<0.001)显著延长。两组之间 ORR 和 12 个月 OS 无显著差异。此外,我们发现 BMI 与 ICIs 组的 PFS(HR 0.85,95%CI 0.76-0.95,p=0.004)和 OS(HR 0.82,95%CI 0.69-0.98,p=0.033)相关。PD-1 抑制剂联合 CRT/CT 治疗不可切除的 ESCC 安全,并发症可接受,且生存获益提高。CRT 联合 PD-1 抑制剂具有优越的抗肿瘤疗效。BMI 与 PD-1 抑制剂的疗效呈正相关。
