Immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) combination therapy offers a new option for treatment of unresectable intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (uICC).
To compare the effect of different anti-PD-1 combination therapies as the first-line treatments for uICC.
This study included 318 patients who received chemotherapy alone (Chemo), anti-PD-1 plus chemotherapy (ICI-chemo), anti-PD-1 plus targeted therapy (ICI-target) or anti-PD-1 plus targeted therapy and chemotherapy (ICI-target-chemo) as first line for uICC from 22 centres in China. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS). Secondary endpoints included overall survival (OS), objective response rate (ORR) and safety.
Patients with ICI-chemo (median PFS [mPFS], 6.3 months; HR: 0.61, 95% CI: 0.42-0.88; p = 0.008; median OS [mOS], 10.7 months; HR: 0.61, 95% CI: 0.39-0.94; p = 0.026), ICI-target (7.2 months; HR: 0.54, 95% CI: 0.36-0.80; p = 0.002; 15.8 months; HR: 0.54, 95% CI: 0.35-0.84; p = 0.006) or ICI-target-chemo (6.9 months; HR: 0.65, 95% CI: 0.47-0.90; p = 0.009; 14.4 months; HR: 0.47, 95% CI: 0.31-0.70; p < 0.001) achieved better clinical outcomes than those with Chemo (3.8 months; 9.3 months). ICI-target was not inferior to ICI-chemo in survival outcomes (HR for PFS: 0.88, 95% CI: 0.55-1.42; p = 0.614; HR for OS: 0.89, 95% CI: 0.51-1.55; p = 0.680). ICI-target-chemo yielded similar prognoses as ICI-chemo (HR for PFS: 1.07, 95% CI: 0.70-1.62; p = 0.764; HR for OS: 0.77, 95% CI: 0.45-1.31; p = 0.328) and ICI-target (HR for PFS: 1.20, 95% CI: 0.77-1.88; p = 0.413; HR for OS: 0.86, 95% CI: 0.51-1.47; p = 0.583) but resulted in more adverse events (p < 0.001; p = 0.010). Multivariable and propensity score analyses supported these findings.
Among patients with uICC, ICI-chemo or ICI-target provided more survival benefits than Chemo while achieving comparable prognoses and fewer adverse events than ICI-target-chemo.
免疫检查点抑制剂(ICI)联合治疗为不可切除的肝内胆管癌(uICC)的治疗提供了新的选择。
比较不同抗 PD-1 联合治疗作为 uICC 一线治疗的效果。
本研究纳入了 318 例来自中国 22 个中心的患者,他们接受了单独化疗(Chemo)、抗 PD-1 联合化疗(ICI-chemo)、抗 PD-1 联合靶向治疗(ICI-target)或抗 PD-1 联合靶向治疗和化疗(ICI-target-chemo)作为 uICC 的一线治疗。主要终点是无进展生存期(PFS)。次要终点包括总生存期(OS)、客观缓解率(ORR)和安全性。
ICI-chemo(mPFS,6.3 个月;HR:0.61,95%CI:0.42-0.88;p=0.008;mOS,10.7 个月;HR:0.61,95%CI:0.39-0.94;p=0.026)、ICI-target(7.2 个月;HR:0.54,95%CI:0.36-0.80;p=0.002;15.8 个月;HR:0.54,95%CI:0.35-0.84;p=0.006)或 ICI-target-chemo(6.9 个月;HR:0.65,95%CI:0.47-0.90;p=0.009;14.4 个月;HR:0.47,95%CI:0.31-0.70;p<0.001)的临床结局优于 Chemo(3.8 个月;9.3 个月)。ICI-target 在生存结局方面并不逊于 ICI-chemo(HR for PFS:0.88,95%CI:0.55-1.42;p=0.614;HR for OS:0.89,95%CI:0.51-1.55;p=0.680)。ICI-target-chemo 的预后与 ICI-chemo(HR for PFS:1.07,95%CI:0.70-1.62;p=0.764;HR for OS:0.77,95%CI:0.45-1.31;p=0.328)和 ICI-target(HR for PFS:1.20,95%CI:0.77-1.88;p=0.413;HR for OS:0.86,95%CI:0.51-1.47;p=0.583)相似,但不良反应更多(p<0.001;p=0.010)。多变量和倾向评分分析支持这些发现。
在 uICC 患者中,ICI-chemo 或 ICI-target 与 Chemo 相比提供了更多的生存获益,同时与 ICI-target-chemo 相比,实现了相当的预后且不良反应更少。
