BACKGROUND: Isolated limb infusion and perfusion (ILI/ILP) has been a mainstay treatment for unresectable melanoma in-transit metastases (ITM), but increased use of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) and intralesional therapy (talimogene laherparepvec [TVEC]) introduced several different management options. This study compares first-line ILI/ILP, ICI, and TVEC. METHODS: Retrospective review from 12 international institutions included patients treated from 1990 to 2022 with first-line ILI/ILP, ICI, or TVEC for unresectable melanoma ITM. RESULTS: A total of 551 patients were treated, with ILI/ILP (n = 356), ICI (n = 125), and TVEC (n = 70) with median follow-up of 5.5 years. Tumor burden was highest with ILI/ILP and lowest with TVEC (p = .002). Breslow thickness was lowest with TVEC (p = .007). TVEC was mostly used in stage IIIB disease versus IIIC for ILI/ILP and ICI (p = .01). Using ICI as the reference category, TVEC had the highest odds of a complete response (CR) (odds ratio, 1.96; p = .029) and a longer local progression-free survival (PFS) (hazard ratio [HR], 0.40; p = .003). ILI/ILP had shorter local PFS (HR, 1.72; p = .012), PFS (HR, 1.79; p < .001), distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS) (HR, 1.75; p = .014), overall survival (HR, 1.82; p = .009), and melanoma-specific survival (HR, 2.29; p = .004). Stage IIIB disease had longer DMFS (HR, 0.24; p < .001) compared to IIIC/D. CONCLUSIONS: TVEC as first-line therapy for unresectable melanoma ITM was associated with superior CR rates and local PFS. Notably, TVEC was used in patients with a lower Breslow thickness, disease stage, and tumor burden. Therefore, when compared to ILI/ILP and ICI, TVEC should be considered as first-line therapy for unresectable stage IIIB melanoma ITM with minimal tumor burden and lower Breslow thickness.
背景:孤立肢体灌注和输注(ILI/ILP)一直是不可切除的黑色素瘤局部转移(ITM)的主要治疗方法,但免疫检查点抑制剂(ICI)和瘤内治疗(talimogene laherparepvec [TVEC])的使用增加带来了几种不同的治疗选择。本研究比较一线ILI/ILP、ICI和TVEC。 方法:对12家国际机构进行回顾性分析,纳入1990年至2022年接受一线ILI/ILP、ICI或TVEC治疗不可切除黑色素瘤ITM的患者。 结果:共治疗551例患者,其中ILI/ILP(n = 356)、ICI(n = 125)和TVEC(n = 70),中位随访5.5年。ILI/ILP的肿瘤负荷最高,TVEC最低(p = 0.002)。TVEC的Breslow厚度最低(p = 0.007)。与ILI/ILP和ICI用于IIIC期疾病相比,TVEC大多用于IIIB期疾病(p = 0.01)。以ICI作为参照组,TVEC的完全缓解(CR)几率最高(优势比,1.96;p = 0.029),局部无进展生存期(PFS)更长(风险比[HR],0.40;p = 0.003)。ILI/ILP的局部PFS较短(HR,1.72;p = 0.012)、PFS(HR,1.79;p < 0.001)、远处无转移生存期(DMFS)(HR,1.75;p = 0.014)、总生存期(HR,1.82;p = 0.009)和黑色素瘤特异性生存期(HR,2.29;p = 0.004)。与IIIC/D期相比,IIIB期疾病的DMFS更长(HR,0.24;p < 0.001)。 结论:TVEC作为不可切除黑色素瘤ITM的一线治疗与更高的CR率和局部PFS相关。值得注意的是,TVEC用于Breslow厚度、疾病分期和肿瘤负荷较低的患者。因此,与ILI/ILP和ICI相比,TVEC应被视为不可切除的IIIB期黑色素瘤ITM且肿瘤负荷最小和Breslow厚度较低的一线治疗方法。
