Programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) blockade improves survival in patients with advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). However, the efficacy of taxanes after exposure to PD-1 blockade remains unclear in patients with advanced ESCC.
We retrospectively analyzed the clinical outcomes of advanced ESCC patients treated with taxanes (paclitaxel or docetaxel) with/without prior exposure to PD-1 blockade (Exposed /Naïve group) at National Cancer Center Hospital from June 2016 to December 2020.
Ninety-nine patients (Exposed group, n = 32; Naïve group, n = 67) were included. The objective response rate (ORR) of the Exposed group was significantly higher than that of the Naïve group (37.5% vs. 13.4%, p = 0.009). The median progression-free survival was similar between the Exposed and Naïve groups (3.8 vs. 2.8 months, HR 1.12, 95% CI 0.65-1.86, p = 0.66). PD-1 blockade exposure independently predicated higher ORR to taxanes in multivariate analysis. Grade ≥ 3 adverse events were comparable between the Exposed and Naïve groups (45.8% vs. 40.3%, p = 0.64).
Taxanes following PD-1 blockade in advanced ESCC showed a higher ORR but similar PFS compared to taxanes without prior PD-1 exposure.
程序性死亡受体-1(PD-1)阻断可改善晚期食管鳞癌(ESCC)患者的生存。然而,在晚期 ESCC 患者中,PD-1 阻断后使用紫杉烷的疗效尚不清楚。
我们回顾性分析了 2016 年 6 月至 2020 年 12 月在国家癌症中心医院接受紫杉烷(紫杉醇或多西他赛)治疗的晚期 ESCC 患者的临床结局,这些患者之前是否接受过 PD-1 阻断(暴露组/未暴露组)。
共纳入 99 例患者(暴露组,n=32;未暴露组,n=67)。暴露组的客观缓解率(ORR)明显高于未暴露组(37.5% vs. 13.4%,p=0.009)。暴露组和未暴露组的中位无进展生存期相似(3.8 个月 vs. 2.8 个月,HR 1.12,95%CI 0.65-1.86,p=0.66)。多变量分析表明,PD-1 阻断暴露可独立预测紫杉烷的更高 ORR。暴露组和未暴露组的≥3 级不良事件发生率相似(45.8% vs. 40.3%,p=0.64)。
晚期 ESCC 患者在接受 PD-1 阻断后使用紫杉烷治疗,其 ORR 较高,但与未接受 PD-1 暴露的紫杉烷相比,PFS 相似。
