SHR-1316, an anti-PD-L1 antibody, plus chemotherapy as the first-line treatment for advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma: A multicentre, phase 2 study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This multicentre, open-label study evaluated the efficacy and safety of antiprogrammed death ligand 1 antibody SHR-1316 plus liposomal irinotecan and 5-fluorouracil as the first-line treatment for patients with advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC).

Methods

Eligible patients received SHR-1316 (10 mg/kg), liposomal irinotecan (60 mg/m² for the first cycle, 80 mg/m² thereafter), and 5-fluorouracil (2400 mg/m² ) every 14 days until disease progression, intolerable toxicity or withdrawal of consent. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS). Secondary endpoints were objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), overall survival (OS), and safety.

Results

We enrolled 23 patients between 11 March 2019 and 31 May 2019. The median follow-up duration was 15.2 months (95% CI 14.2-16.2). The median PFS was 8.5 months (95% CI 1.2-15.8), and ORR and DCR were 52.2% (95% CI 30.1-74.3) and 73.9% (95% CI 54.5-93.3), respectively. The median OS was 11.6 months (95% CI 6.7-16.6). The most common treatment-related grade 3-4 adverse events (AEs) were neutropenia (17.4%), nausea (13.0%), and anorexia (13.0%). Treatment-related serious AEs occurred in two patients. No treatment-related deaths occurred.

Conclusions

SHR-1316 plus liposomal irinotecan and 5-fluorouracil has a promising efficacy and manageable safety profile, and could be a new first-line treatment approach for patients with unresectable locally advanced or distant metastatic ESCC.

Project description:ObjectiveThe ASTRUM-007 trial (NCT03958890) demonstrated that serplulimab plus chemotherapy administered every 2-week significantly improved progression-free and overall survival in patients with previously untreated, programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) positive advanced esophageal squamous-cell carcinoma (ESCC). This study was aimed to investigate the cost-effectiveness of serplulimab plus chemotherapy in the first-line treatment of PD-L1-positive advanced ESCC.MethodsA partitioned survival model with a 2-week cycle and a 10-year time horizon was constructed from the Chinese healthcare system perspective. The survival data, direct medical costs and utilities were derived from the ASTRUM-007 trial, YAOZHI database and published sources. Total costs, quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs) and incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICERs) were calculated. Scenario, one-way and probabilistic sensitivity analyses were performed to assess the uncertainty around model parameters.ResultsCompared with chemotherapy, serplulimab plus chemotherapy provided additional 0.27 QALYs with an incremental cost of $33,460.86, which had an ICER of $124,483.07 per QALY. The subgroup analyses revealed that the ICERs of serplulimab plus chemotherapy were $134,637.42 and $105,589.71 in advanced ESCC patients with 1 ≤ CPS < 10 and CPS ≥ 10, respectively. The price of serplulimab, patient weight, utility values and discount rate were the most influential parameters on base-case results. At a willingness-to-pay threshold of three times per capita GDP ($40,587.59) in 2022, the probability of serplulimab plus chemotherapy being cost-effective was 0% compared with chemotherapy. When the price of serplulimab decreased by 70%, the probabilities of serplulimab plus chemotherapy being cost-effective were 81.42%, 67.74% and 96.75% in advanced ESCC patients with PD-L1-positive, PD-L1 1≤CPS<10 and CPS≥10, respectively.ConclusionSerplulimab plus chemotherapy in the first-line treatment for PD-L1-positive advanced ESCC might not be cost-effective in China.

Project description:BackgroundImmunochemotherapy has become a new treatment for advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC).AimsWe aimed to study the clinical efficacy and toxicity of immunochemotherapy based on PD-1/PD-L1 compared with chemotherapy alone in the treatment of advanced ESCC, focusing on analyzing the influence of PD-L1 expression level.Methods and resultsFive randomized controlled trials comparing PD-1/PD-L1 based immunochemotherapy with chemotherapy alone for advanced ESCC were included. We extracted efficacy data (objective response rate [ORR], disease control rate [DCR], overall survival [OS] rate, progression-free survival [PFS] rate) and safety data (treatment-related adverse events, treatment-related mortality) and performed meta-analyses. Compared with chemotherapy alone, the ORR and DCR of immunochemotherapy increased by 2.05 times and 1.54 times, respectively. Overall, patients receiving immunochemotherapy had a significant long-term survival advantage (OS: hazard ratio [HR] = 0.68, 95% confidence intervals [CI] 0.61-0.75; PFS: HR = 0.62, 95% CI 0.55, 0.70, respectively). Even with PD-L1 tumor proportion score <1%, immunochemotherapy also showed a significant survival advantage (OS: HR = 0.65, 95% CI 0.46-0.93; PFS: HR = 0.56, 95% CI 0.46-0.69, respectively). However, for PD-L1 combined positive score (CPS) < 1, the survival advantage of immunochemotherapy was not significant (OS: HR = 0.89, 95% CI 0.42-1.90; PFS: HR = 0.71, 95% CI 0.47-1.08, respectively). The toxicity of immunochemotherapy was higher than that of chemotherapy alone, but there was no statistical difference in treatment-related mortality (odds ratio = 1.11, 95% CI 0.67-1.83).ConclusionIn this study, treatment-related mortality was similar between immunochemotherapy and chemotherapy. PD-1/PD-L1 based immunochemotherapy significantly could improve survival outcomes in patients with advanced ESCC. For patients with CPS <1, the survival advantage of immunochemotherapy was not significant compared with chemotherapy.

Project description:Background:Programmed death-1 (PD-1)/programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) inhibitor monotherapy has been approved as second-line or later therapy in advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The study aimed to compare the clinical outcomes of PD-1 inhibitor plus chemotherapy with PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor monotherapy as second-line or later therapy in advanced NSCLC. Methods:The clinical data of patients with advanced NSCLC who received PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors as second-line or later line therapy was retrospectively collected. Patients were assigned to one of the two groups according to the therapeutic modality used: PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor monotherapy group or PD-1 inhibitor plus chemotherapy combination therapy group. Disease control rate (DCR), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS) were evaluated between the two groups. The prognostic effect of the derived neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (dNLR) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) on the outcomes was also evaluated. Results:From April 2017 to October 2019, a total of 84 patients were enrolled in the current study. Twenty-six patients (PD-1 inhibitor, n = 25; PD-L1 inhibitor, n = 1) received PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor monotherapy, and fifty-eight patients received PD-1 inhibitor plus chemotherapy. The chemotherapy regimens used were as follows: liposome paclitaxel (n = 15); nab-paclitaxel (n = 12); docetaxel (n = 9); pemetrexed (n = 6); and others (n = 16). The DCR and OS were not significantly different between the two groups. The PFS of the monotherapy group was longer than that of the combination therapy group (mPFS: 9.6 vs. 4.6 months, P = 0.01). Univariate and multivariate analyses suggested that LDH and sex were independent prognostic factors of PFS. In the second-line therapy subgroup of 38 patients, OS and PFS were not significantly different between the two groups. In the subgroup of 46 patients treated beyond the 2nd line, the monotherapy group had a longer PFS (mPFS: 9.6 vs. 4.2 months, P = 0.01). The incidence of any-grade adverse events was not significantly different between the monotherapy group and the combination therapy group (19.2 vs. 18.9%, P = 1.000). One patient in the PD-1 inhibitor plus chemotherapy group died of immune-related pneumonitis. Conclusion:The clinical outcomes of PD-1 inhibitor plus chemotherapy as second-line or later therapy were similar to those of PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor alone in advanced NSCLC.
