Abstract
Aim: First-line (1L) immunotherapy has yielded superior overall survival (OS) in metastatic melanoma (MM) but some patients are ineligible for immunotherapy or need rapid response with 1L targeted therapy (TT).Materials & methods: Retrospective cohort study of real-world patients treated with 1L immunotherapy (144 BRAF wild type, 85 BRAF-mutated) or 1L TT (143 BRAF-mutated) for MM in Finland during 2014-2021.Results: Baseline brain metastases, liver metastases and elevated LDH were less common, 2-year OS rates were higher (60.3-63.5% vs. 33.8%) and more patients were alive without the next-line treatment (38.0-43.8% vs. 23.3%) in patients with 1L immunotherapy.Conclusion: Real-world patients with 1L immunotherapy for MM had favorable baseline characteristics and better treatment outcomes than observed in patients with 1L TT.
目的:一线(1L)免疫疗法在转移性黑色素瘤(MM)中取得了较好的总生存率(OS),但有些患者不符合免疫疗法的条件,或者需要1L靶向疗法(TT)的快速反应:回顾性队列研究:2014-2021年间芬兰接受1L免疫疗法(144例BRAF野生型、85例BRAF突变型)或1L TT(143例BRAF突变型)治疗的MM患者的真实世界:结果:接受1L免疫治疗的患者中,基线脑转移、肝转移和LDH升高的情况较少,2年OS率较高(60.3-63.5% vs. 33.8%),更多患者在未接受下线治疗的情况下存活(38.0-43.8% vs. 23.3%):结论:与1L TT患者相比,接受1L免疫治疗的MM患者具有良好的基线特征和更好的治疗效果。
