BACKGROUND/AIM: The efficacy, safety, and liver toxicity of enfortumab vedotin (EV) for elderly advanced urothelial carcinoma (UC) patients and patients with a poor performance status (PS) are unclear.
We retrospectively analyzed the efficacy, safety, and liver toxicity of EV in elderly patients and patients with a poor PS between December 2021 and August 2023.
Sixty-two patients (≥75 years old, n=22; PS≥2, n=10) were enrolled. Patients with PS≥2 had significantly lower albumin levels than those with PS<2 (p=0.023). The objective response and disease control rates did not differ significantly between patients <75 and ≥75 years old (p=0.598 and p=0.769, respectively) or between those with PS<2 and PS≥2 (p>0.99 and p=0.178, respectively). Progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were not significantly different in patients <75 years and ≥75 years (p=0984, 0.368). A significant difference in PFS (p=0.047) but not OS (p=0.086) was observed between the PS<2 and PS≥2 groups. The rates of any-grade and severe (grade ≥3) adverse events did not differ significantly between patients <75 and ≥75 years (p=0.471, p=0.136) or between PS<2 and PS≥2 groups (p>0.99, 0.99). Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels significantly increased, but alanine aminotransferase levels did not, following EV treatment (p<0.001). Multivariate analyses revealed that the albumin level was an independent prognostic factor (hazard ratio=0.159; p<0.001).
EV demonstrated similar efficacy and safety in elderly and younger patients with advanced UC. In patients with a poor PS, although the safety was similar, survival was significantly worse in terms of PFS, while the AST levels were significantly elevated.
背景/目的:对于老年晚期尿路上皮癌(UC)患者和体能状态(PS)较差的患者,恩福妥单抗(EV)的疗效、安全性和肝毒性尚不清楚。
我们回顾性分析了 2021 年 12 月至 2023 年 8 月期间 EV 在老年患者和 PS 较差患者中的疗效、安全性和肝毒性。
共纳入 62 例患者(≥75 岁,n=22;PS≥2,n=10)。PS≥2 的患者白蛋白水平明显低于 PS<2 的患者(p=0.023)。PS<2 和 PS≥2 的患者之间,客观缓解率和疾病控制率差异无统计学意义(p=0.598 和 p=0.769)。<75 岁和≥75 岁的患者之间(p=0.984,0.368)以及 PS<2 和 PS≥2 的患者之间(p>0.99,p=0.178)的无进展生存期(PFS)和总生存期(OS)无显著差异。PFS(p=0.047)而非 OS(p=0.086)在 PS<2 和 PS≥2 两组之间存在显著差异。<75 岁和≥75 岁的患者之间(p=0.471,p=0.136)或 PS<2 和 PS≥2 两组之间(p>0.99,p=0.99),任何级别和严重(≥3 级)不良事件的发生率无显著差异。EV 治疗后,天冬氨酸氨基转移酶(AST)水平显著升高,但丙氨酸氨基转移酶(ALT)水平无显著升高(p<0.001)。多因素分析显示,白蛋白水平是独立的预后因素(风险比=0.159;p<0.001)。
EV 在老年和年轻晚期 UC 患者中显示出相似的疗效和安全性。在 PS 较差的患者中,尽管安全性相似,但在 PFS 方面,生存明显较差,而 AST 水平显著升高。
