Clinical Profile of Cyclooxygenase-2 Inhibitors in Treating Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer: A Meta-Analysis of Nine Randomized Clinical Trials.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Evidence on the benefits of combining cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitor (COX-2) in treating non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is still controversial. We investigated the efficacy and safety profile of cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors in treating NSCLC.

Methods

The first meta-analysis of eligible studies was performed to assess the effect of COX-2 inhibitors for patients with NSCLC on the overall response rate (ORR), overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), one-year survival, and toxicities. The fixed-effects model was used to calculate the pooled RR and HR and between-study heterogeneity was assessed. Subgroup analyses were conducted according to the type of COX-2 inhibitors, treatment pattern, and treatment line.

Results

Nine randomized clinical trials, comprising 1679 patents with NSCLC, were included in the final meta-analysis. The pooled ORR of patients who have NSCLC with COX-2 inhibitors was significantly higher than that without COX-2 inhibitors. In subgroup analysis, significantly increased ORR results were found on celecoxib (RR = 1.29, 95% CI: 1.09, 1.51), rofecoxib (RR = 1.61, 95% CI: 1.14, 2.28), chemotherapy (RR = 1.40, 95% CI: 1.20, 1.63), and first-line treatment (RR = 1.39, 95% CI: 1.19, 1.63). However, COX-2 inhibitors had no effect on the one-year survival, OS, and PFS. Increased RR of leucopenia (RR = 1.21, 95% CI: 1.01, 1.45) and thrombocytopenia (RR = 1.36, 95% CI: 1.06, 1.76) suggested that COX-2 inhibitors increased hematologic toxicities (grade ? 3) of chemotherapy.

Conclusions

COX-2 inhibitors increased ORR of advanced NSCLC and had no impact on survival indices, but it may increase the risk of hematologic toxicities associated with chemotherapy.

Project description:Objective: This network meta-analysis will provide a complete toxicity profile, toxicity profile, and safety ranking of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) for treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods: We found 12 phase II or III randomized clinical trials (RCTs) including 8,453 patients with NSCLC by searching Pubmed, Embase, and ClinicalTrials.gov. Risk ratios (RRs) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were used to compare the rate of immune-related adverse events (irAEs) for different ICIs-based treatments using pairwise and network meta-analysis with random effects. Results: For dermatologic irAEs, the corresponding ranking of incidences of the seven groups from high to low was: nivolumab + ipilimumab (97.4%), pembrolizumab (80.1%), nivolumab (67.1%), pembrolizumab + platinum (43.3%), atezolizumab + platinum (39.9%), durvalumab (17.5%), platinum-based chemotherapy (4.7%). For colitis, the corresponding ranking of incidences of the six groups from high to low was: atezolizumab + platinum (77.1%), nivolumab (67.3%), pembrolizumab (60.5%), durvalumab (45.2%), pembrolizumab + platinum (41.4%), platinum-based chemotherapy (8.5%). For endocrine irAEs, the corresponding ranking of incidences of the seven groups from high to low was: nivolumab + ipilimumab (79.1%), durvalumab (69.1%), pembrolizumab (61.9%), atezolizumab + platinum (60.4%),nivolumab (45.7%), pembrolizumab + platinum (33.5%), platinum-based chemotherapy (0.3%). For pneumonitis, the corresponding ranking of incidences of the seven groups from high to low was: pembrolizumab (99.3%), pembrolizumab + platinum (65.1%), durvalumab (62.2%), atezolizumab + platinum (56%), nivolumab (35.9%), platinum-based chemotherapy (18.1%),atezolizumab (13.3%). For hepatitis, the corresponding ranking of incidences of the six groups from high to low was: pembrolizumab (71.2%), pembrolizumab + platinum (64.3%), durvalumab (56.4%), atezolizumab + platinum (53.8%), nivolumab (44.5%), platinum-based chemotherapy (9.8%). Conlusion: In addition to platinum-based chemotherapy, durvalumab for dermatologic and liver irAEs, pembrolizumab for gastrointestinal irAEs, pembrolizumab + platinum for endocrine irAEs, and atezolizumab for pneumonitis may be associated with lower rates of irAEs than other immune-based regimens. Nivolumab + ipilimumab for dermatologic and endocrine irAEs, atezolizumab + platinum for colitis, and pembrolizumab for pneumonitis and hepatitis may be associated with higher rates of irAEs.

Project description:BackgroundThis study aimed to assess the effectiveness and safety of angiogenesis inhibitors for the treatment of patients with small cell lung cancer (SCLC) via meta-analysis.MethodsElectronic databases including PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library were searched to look for eligible studies through February 1, 2016. RCTs comprising angiogenesis inhibitors and nonangiogenesis inhibitors for SCLC patients were investigated. The extracted data including overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and objective response rate (ORR) were summarized. In addition, the common adverse events (AEs) were also explored.ResultsThere were 7 phase II/III RCTs, encompassing 1322 SCLC patients eligible for meta-analysis. In comparison to nonangiogenesis inhibitors, angiogenesis inhibitors treatment was not associated with improvement of PFS [HR = 0.87, 95% CI (0.74-1.02), P = 0.09), OS [HR = 0.99, 95% CI (0.88-1.12), P = 0.91], or ORR [OR = 1.12, 95% CI (0.85-1.47), P = 0.41). Also, there was no improvement in 1-year survival rate [OR = 0.96, 95% CI (0.74-1.19), P = 0.63)], 2-year survival rate [OR = 1.00, 95% CI (0.66-1.51), P = 1.00)] or 1-year progression-free survival rates [OR = 0.95, 95% CI (0.69-1.31), P = 0.76)]. However, from subgroup analyses, it was observed that angiogenesis inhibitors improved ORR [HR = 1.66 (95% CI 1.02-2.71), P = 0.04] in phase II studies and bevacizumab improved PFS [HR = 0.73 (95% CI 0.42-0.97), P = 0.04]. It is important to note that angiogenesis inhibitors reduced emesis [OR = 0.38, 95% CI (0.17-0.85), P = 0.02], but increased incidence of constipation [OR = 4.02, 95% CI (2.14-7.55), P < 0.0001) and embolism [OR = 2.24, 95% CI (1.45-3.47), P = 0.0003).ConclusionAdding angiogenesis inhibitors to chemotherapy did not improve PFS, OS, ORR, 1-year survival rate, 2-year survival rate or 1-year progression-free survival rate for SCLC. However, subgroup analysis revealed that bevacizumab enhanced PFS. Angiogenesis inhibitors also had a high incidence of constipation and embolism.

Project description:BackgroundAlterations in PI3K function are directly related to cancer, making PI3K inhibitors suitable options for anticancer therapies. Information on therapy using different types of PI3K inhibitors is available in literature, providing indications of trends in developing new therapies. Although some studies on PI3K inhibitors for cancer treatment provide clinical evidence, they do not allow a careful search for potential PI3K inhibitors conducted by development indicators. Here, we performed a foresight study of clinical trials involving PI3K inhibitors from the past 11 years using indicators of clinical evolution to identify technological trends and provide data for supporting recommendations for new study designs.MethodsA comprehensive foresight study was designed based on documents from clinical trials on PI3K inhibitors to perform a systematic and comparative analysis, in order to identify technological trends on new cancer therapies.ResultsOur results demonstrate that total number of clinical trials has decreased over the years and, currently, there is a clear prevalence of studies using isoform-specific inhibitors in combined interventions. Clinical trials in Phases I and II were the most frequently found in the database, whereas Phase III trials correspond to 7% of studies. The measurement of clinical trials progression using indicators (drugs in Phase III profile, top-10 drugs, and top-10 combined drugs) demonstrated that the 3 new medicines BKM120, IBI-376, and PF-05212384 have a high potential to provide more efficient cancer treatment in combined interventions. These data also include the groups of targets for each drug, providing a useful and reliable source for design new combinations to overcome the resistance and the poor tolerability observed in some PI3K therapies.ConclusionsThe establishment of development indicators based on clinical trials for cancer treatment was useful to highlight the clinical investment in 3 new PI3K drugs and the advantages of combine therapy using FDA-approved drugs.

Project description:ObjectivePD-1 inhibitors have become an indispensable treatment in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC), but the potential predictive value of clinical and molecular features need to be clarified. The objective of the study was to study the potency of PD-1 inhibitors in patients with NSCLC in contexts of both clinical and molecular features, and to aid identification of patients for choice of type of PD-1 inhibitor therapy in order to acquire more accurate NSCLC treatment in immunotherapy.MethodPubMed, Google Scholar, Embase Science Direct, the Cochrane library, and major oncology conferences were searched for randomized clinical trials (RCTs) that were published prior to December 2021. RCTs that had PD-1 inhibitor alone or in combination with chemotherapy with non-PD-1 inhibitor for the treatment of NSCLC patients were selected. Two authors independently selected studies, data extraction and bias risk assessment. Basic characteristics of included studies, and also the 95% confidence interval and hazard ratios of the overall patients and subgroups were recorded. The inverse variance weighted method was used to estimate pooled treatment data.ResultA total of eleven RCTs including 5,887 patients were involved. PD-1 inhibitors-based therapy substantially enhanced OS compared with non-PD-1 inhibitor therapy in patients with age group <65 years, 65-74 years, active or previous smokers, without brain metastases, liver metastases, EGFR wild-type patients, individuals in East Asia and U.S./Canada, but not in patients with age group ≥75 years, never smokers, brain metastases, EGFR mutant patients or individuals in Europe. OS was improved in patients with NSCLC who received PD-1 inhibitors regardless of their gender (male or female), histomorphological subtypes (squamous or non-squamous NSCLC), performance status (0 or 1), and PD-L1 tumor proportion score (TPS) (<1%, ≥1%, 1-49%, or ≥50%). An analysis of subgroups revealed that, patients with age group <65 years old, male, non squamous cell carcinoma, PS 1, TPS ≥1%, and TPS ≥50% benefited from pembrolizumab treatment not related with treatment line and treatment regimen.ConclusionAge group, smoking history, metastasis status/site, EGFR mutation status, and region can be used to predict the potency of PD-1 inhibitors, and to be individualized to choose different types of PD-1 inhibitors, and treatment regimen for NSCLC patients.
