INTRODUCTION: There is a need for biomarkers to predict response and survival to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Soluble PD-L1 (sPD-L1) has shown biomarker potential. The objective of this study was to evaluate sPD-L1 in patients with advanced NSCLC treated with first-line ICIs. METHODS: We constructed three prospective cohorts of patients with advanced NSCLC treated with first-line chemotherapy (CT), (Cohort #1), ICIs, or CT-ICIs (Cohort #2 and #3). Plasma was collected at baseline and at first tumour evaluation. sPD-L1 levels were measured by ELISA and compared to response and survival metrics. RESULTS: Patients were mostly male smokers with adenocarcinomas. Baseline sPD-L1 was lower in responders versus (vs) non-responders in Cohort #2 (p = 0.0233). Patients with low baseline sPD-L1 had longer OS in Cohorts #2 and #3: median OS 18.0 months vs 4.0 months, (p = 0.0277) and not reached (NR) vs 13.0 months (p = 0.0360). First tumour evaluation sPD-L1 was lower in responders in Cohorts #1 (p = 0.0138) and #2 (p = 0.0009). Patients with low sPD-L1 at first tumour evaluation had longer OS in Cohort #2: 45.0 months vs 12.5 (p = 0.0041). Patients with stable/decreasing sPD-L1 had longer OS throughout the Cohorts: median OS of 15.5 vs 6.0 months, 45.0 vs 14.0 months and not reached (NR) vs 17.0 months in Cohorts #1, #2 and #3. In vitro studies confirmed that cancer and immune cells secreted sPD-L1 and that NSLC patient plasma has the capacity to inhibit lymphocyte proliferation. CONCLUSION: sPD-L1 has prominent biomarker potential in advanced NSCLC treated with first-line ICIs.
引言:晚期非小细胞肺癌(NSCLC)患者需要生物标志物来预测对免疫检查点抑制剂(ICI)的反应和生存期。可溶性程序性死亡配体1(sPD-L1)已显示出作为生物标志物的潜力。本研究的目的是评估一线ICI治疗的晚期NSCLC患者的sPD-L1水平。 方法:我们构建了三个前瞻性队列,分别为接受一线化疗(CT)的晚期NSCLC患者(队列1)、接受ICI治疗的患者以及接受CT-ICI联合治疗的患者(队列2和队列3)。在基线和首次肿瘤评估时采集血浆。通过酶联免疫吸附测定(ELISA)法检测sPD-L1水平,并与反应和生存指标进行比较。 结果:患者大多为男性吸烟者,患有腺癌。队列2中,反应者的基线sPD-L1低于无反应者(p = 0.0233)。队列2和队列3中,基线sPD-L1水平低的患者总生存期更长:中位总生存期分别为18.0个月和4.0个月(p = 0.0277),未达到(NR)和13.0个月(p = 0.0360)。队列1(p = 0.0138)和队列2(p = 0.0009)中,反应者的首次肿瘤评估时sPD-L1水平较低。队列2中,首次肿瘤评估时sPD-L1水平低的患者总生存期更长:45.0个月和12.5个月(p = 0.0041)。在所有队列中,sPD-L1稳定/下降的患者总生存期更长:队列1、队列2和队列3的中位总生存期分别为15.5个月和6.0个月、45.0个月和14.0个月、未达到(NR)和17.0个月。体外研究证实,癌症细胞和免疫细胞可分泌sPD-L1,且NSCLC患者血浆具有抑制淋巴细胞增殖的能力。 结论:sPD-L1在一线ICI治疗的晚期NSCLC中具有显著的生物标志物潜力。
