Abstract

Background

This study analyzed the clinical features of patients with recurrent or metastatic (R/M) head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), who developed progressive disease (PD) after immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy.

Methods

We retrospectively analyzed 256 patients with R/M HNSCC treated with ICIs at 11 medical centers. Associations between the treatment outcomes―best response, overall survival, and progression-free survival―and various clinical factors were analyzed.

Results

The objective response rate was 19.5% and PD was observed in 50.4% of the patients. A high neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR > 4; HR, 2.20 [1.28–3.78]) and large tumor size (sum of the target lesions > 40 mm; HR, 1.74 [1.03–2.94]) were significant risk factors for PD. High NLR (HR, 2.00 [1.42–2.82]), poor performance status (ECOG PS 2–3; HR, 3.51 [2.04–6.05]), and large tumor size (HR. 1.63 [1.19–2.24]) were independently associated with poor overall survival.

Conclusions

Patients with high NLR and large tumor size are at higher risk of PD during ICI therapy.

免疫检查点抑制剂治疗头颈部鳞状细胞癌后疾病进展的危险因素

背景：本研究分析了复发或转移性（R/M）头颈部鳞状细胞癌（HNSCC）患者在免疫检查点抑制剂（ICI）治疗后发展为进展性疾病（PD）的临床特征。方法：我们回顾性分析了11个医疗中心256例接受ICIs治疗的R/M型HNSCC患者。分析了治疗结果（最佳反应、总生存期和无进展生存期）与各种临床因素之间的关系。结果：客观有效率为19.5%，PD发生率为50.4%。中性粒细胞与淋巴细胞比值高(NLR bb0 4；HR, 2.20[1.28-3.78])，肿瘤大小较大(靶病变总和> 40 mm；HR, 1.74[1.03-2.94])是PD的显著危险因素。NLR高（HR, 2.00[1.42-2.82]），运动状态差(ECOG PS 2-3；HR, 3.51[2.04-6.05])，肿瘤大小较大(HR。1.63[1.19-2.24])与总生存率差独立相关。结论：高NLR和肿瘤大的患者在ICI治疗中发生PD的风险较高。
