No data exist on the efficacy and safety of anlotinib plus camrelizumab doublet as second-line therapy for advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). Although anlotinib and the programmed death-1 (PD-1) inhibitor camrelizumab are used as treatments for ESCC, the combined use of anlotinib and camrelizumab as a second-line therapy has not been reported. Therefore, this study explored the efficacy and toxicity of anlotinib plus camrelizumab as second-line therapy for advanced ESCC.
Fifty-eight patients with advanced ESCC undergoing second-line therapy, either with anlotinib plus camrelizumab or anlotinib plus S-1, were enrolled and retrospectively analyzed at Jiangsu Province Hospital of Chinese Medicine from January 2020 to December 2021. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS), with secondary endpoints including the objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), and assessment of toxicity.
In patients with advanced ESCC, the anlotinib plus camrelizumab group ( = 32) exhibited longer PFS (8.00 4.53 months, < 0.001), higher ORR (28.1 19.2%, = 0.431), and higher DCR (87.5 65.4%, = 0.045) than those in the anlotinib plus S-1 group ( = 26). Treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) were predominantly grade 1/2 in both groups, with a higher incidence of grade 1/2 skin toxicity in patients treated with anlotinib plus camrelizumab ( = 0.033). Two patients (6.3%) developed grade 1/2 immune-related pneumonia. The incidence of grade 3/4 TRAEs did not differ significantly between the two groups. Multivariable Cox regression analysis identified that the drug regimen ( < 0.001), Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status ( = 0.008), and differentiation grade ( = 0.008) were independent prognostic factors for PFS.
Anlotinib plus camrelizumab exhibited promising antitumor efficacy and manageable toxicity when used as a second-line treatment for advanced ESCC.
关于安罗替尼联合卡瑞利珠单抗双药方案作为晚期食管鳞状细胞癌(ESCC)二线治疗的疗效和安全性,目前尚无相关数据。尽管安罗替尼和程序性死亡受体1(PD-1)抑制剂卡瑞利珠单抗均用于ESCC的治疗,但安罗替尼和卡瑞利珠单抗联合作为二线治疗的情况尚未见报道。因此,本研究探讨了安罗替尼联合卡瑞利珠单抗作为晚期ESCC二线治疗的疗效和毒性。
选取2020年1月至2021年12月在江苏省中医院接受二线治疗的58例晚期ESCC患者,这些患者接受了安罗替尼联合卡瑞利珠单抗或安罗替尼联合S-1治疗,并进行回顾性分析。主要终点为无进展生存期(PFS),次要终点包括客观缓解率(ORR)、疾病控制率(DCR)以及毒性评估。
在晚期ESCC患者中,安罗替尼联合卡瑞利珠单抗组(n = 32)的PFS长于安罗替尼联合S-1组(n = 26)(8.00 ± 4.53个月,P < 0.001),ORR更高(28.1% ± 19.2%,P = 0.431),DCR也更高(87.5% ± 65.4%,P = 0.045)。两组治疗相关不良事件(TRAEs)大多为1/2级,安罗替尼联合卡瑞利珠单抗治疗的患者1/2级皮肤毒性发生率更高(P = 0.033)。2例患者(6.3%)发生1/2级免疫相关肺炎。两组3/4级TRAEs的发生率无显著差异。多变量Cox回归分析确定,药物方案(P < 0.001)、东部肿瘤协作组体能状态(P = 0.008)和分化程度(P = 0.008)是PFS的独立预后因素。
安罗替尼联合卡瑞利珠单抗作为晚期ESCC的二线治疗方案,显示出有前景的抗肿瘤疗效和可管理的毒性。
