Abstract 376: Prognostic significance of Glasgow prognostic score in NSCLC patients treated with immunotherapy after platinum-based cytotoxic chemotherapy

Abstract

Introduction: The Glasgow prognostic score (GPS) reflects the host systemic inflammatory response and is validated prognostic factor in lung cancer. However, little is known about the prognostic role in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients treated with immunotherapy after platinum-based cytotoxic chemotherapy. Patient and Methods: This study used a lung cancer cohort of the Catholic Medical Center of Korea between January 2018 and June 2020. We included the patients who were diagnosed with unresectable advanced stage NSCLC or recurrent disease after pulmonary resection and had received at least one regimen of platinum-based chemotherapy before being administered immunotherapy. The patients with NSCLC treated with anti-PD1 or anti-PD-L1 (pembrolizumab, nivolumab, or atezolizumab) and assessed the prognostic value of the GPS. The GPS was calculated using C-reactive protein and albumin concentrations within 1 week before starting anti-PD1 or anti-PD-L1 treatment. Results: A total of 78 patients with NSCLC treated with immunotherapy as 2nd or 3rd line therapy after platinum-based chemotherapy. Kaplan-Meier analyses revealed that higher GPS was significant predictors of shorter progression free survival (PFS) (Log rank Conclusion: Higher GPS were identified as one of poor prognostic factor for OS and PFS in NSCLC patients received immunotherapy as 2nd or 3rd line therapy after platinum-based chemotherapy.
