Abstract
Objective: To assess the efficacy and safety of combining Programmed Death-1/Programmed Death-Ligand 1 (PD-1/L1) inhibitors with platinum-containing chemotherapy for treating late-stage Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) patients who have developed resistance to Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor-Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs).
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted at Baoji Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital involving 133 patients with advanced NSCLC who had shown resistance to EGFR-TKIs and were treated from October 2018 to May 2021. The cohort was categorized into two groups: one treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) plus chemotherapy and antiangiogenic agents (ICIs+BCP group), and the other treated with ICIs alone (ICIs group). Baseline data collected included demographic factors, smoking status, PD-L1 Tumor Proportion Score (TPS), EGFR mutation, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) score, and routine blood markers prior to second-line therapy. Computed Tomography (CT) scans were performed every two treatment courses to evaluate the treatment efficacy.
Results: The ICIs+BCP group exhibited a statistically significant improvement in Overall Survival (OS) compared to the ICIs group (P=0.001). Cox survival analysis uncovered age (P=0.012), PD-L1 TPS expression (P<0.001), treatment regimen (P=0.006), Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR) (P=0.024), and Platelet-to-Lymphocyte Ratio (PLR) (P=0.005) as independent factors influencing OS in patients with advanced NSCLC resistant to primary-line EGFR-TKI therapy. The nomogram model, based on these prognostic factors, exhibited Area Under the Curve (AUC) values of 0.823 and 0.769, indicating its predictive accuracy for 1-year and 2-year survival, respectively.
Conclusion: Combining ICIs with BCP prolongs OS in patients with NSCLC resistant to EGFR-TKIs. This study underscores the importance of personalized treatment plans and biomarker evaluations to improve outcomes in drug-resistant cases.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
