(1) Background: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the time toxicity, or time spent in health care, of immunotherapy- versus chemotherapy-based regimens for metastatic esophageal and gastric cancers. (2) Methods: A literature search was conducted, and 18 phase III clinical trials of immune checkpoint inhibitors were selected for analysis. Health care days were calculated based on the number of days associated with receiving therapy and the adverse events reported in the clinical trials. Both the number of health care days and the median overall survival were compared among chemotherapy-only, immunotherapy-only, and chemo-immunotherapy regimens across this cohort of drug registration trials. (3) Results: The estimated median number of health care days was 37 (range of 7-52) days, or 1.2 (range of 0.2-1.7) months, compared to a median survival of 10.2 months across these 18 studies. For the chemotherapy-only regimens, the median number of health care days was 39 (range of 21-51) days, and for chemo-immunotherapy, it was 39 (range of 30-52) days. The immunotherapy-only regimens had fewer days, a median of 28 (range of 24-41), < 0.05, compared to the other two arms. (4) Conclusions: The chemo-immunotherapy regimens did not add time toxicity compared to chemotherapy alone. The immunotherapy-only regimens had lower time toxicity compared to chemotherapy alone. In the setting of decreased time toxicity and improved overall survival, further development of immunotherapy-based regimens could improve outcomes in advanced esophageal and gastric cancers.
(1)背景:本研究旨在评估基于免疫疗法与基于化疗的方案对转移性食管癌和胃癌的时间毒性,即医疗保健时间。(2)方法:进行文献检索,选择18项免疫检查点抑制剂的III期临床试验进行分析。根据接受治疗的天数和临床试验中报告的不良事件计算医疗保健天数。在这组药物注册试验中,比较了单纯化疗、单纯免疫疗法和化疗-免疫疗法方案的医疗保健天数和中位总生存期。(3)结果:估计医疗保健天数的中位数为37天(范围7 - 52天),即1.2个月(范围0.2 - 1.7个月),而这18项研究的中位生存期为10.2个月。对于单纯化疗方案,医疗保健天数的中位数为39天(范围21 - 51天),化疗-免疫疗法为39天(范围30 - 52天)。与其他两组相比,单纯免疫疗法方案的天数较少,中位数为28天(范围24 - 41天),<0.05。(4)结论:与单纯化疗相比,化疗-免疫疗法方案并未增加时间毒性。与单纯化疗相比,单纯免疫疗法方案的时间毒性更低。在时间毒性降低和总生存期改善的情况下,基于免疫疗法的方案的进一步开发可能会改善晚期食管癌和胃癌的治疗结果。
