Immune checkpoint blockade for locally advanced or recurrent/metastatic cervical cancer: An update on clinical data.

ABSTRACT: Immunotherapy has shown great promise in the field of oncology, and recent clinical trials have illustrated that immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) is safe and effective at treating a range of tumor types. Cervical cancer (CC) is the fourth most common malignancy in women. However, first-line treatments for locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC) and recurrent/metastatic (R/M) CC have limited efficacy. Thus, it is necessary to explore new treatment approaches. The National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) currently recommends pembrolizumab, a programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) monoclonal antibody, as a first line therapy for individuals with R/M CC. This study reviews the progress of ICB therapy for LACC and R/M CC and describes the current status of the combination of ICB therapy and other therapeutic modalities, including radiotherapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and other immunotherapies. The focus is placed on studies published since 2018 with the aim of highlighting novel CC-specific immunotherapeutic approaches and treatment targets.

Project description:BackgroundFew studies have investigated the safety and efficacy of anti-PD-(L)1 antibodies in metastatic urothelial carcinoma (mUC) in daily clinical practice. Knowledge about the influence of baseline clinical and analytical factors on therapy outcomes is scarce.Patients and methodsWe conducted a multicenter retrospective study involving 119 previously treated or untreated mUC patients under anti-PD-(L)1 therapy in a real-world scenario. The objectives of this study were to confirm the safety and efficacy of anti-PD-(L)1 monotherapy and to identify pretreatment factors influencing therapy outcomes. In addition, an independent prognostic model for overall survival (OS) was developed and internally validated.ResultsMedian OS was 7.8 months [95% confidence interval (CI), 5.4-10.4], median progression-free survival (PFS) was 2.80 months (95% CI, 2.4-3.4), disease control rate (DCR) was 40% (95% CI, 31-49), and overall response rate (ORR) was 24% (95% CI, 15-31). Presence of peritoneal metastases was associated with poor OS [hazard ratio (HR) = 2.40, 95% CI, 1.08-5.33; P = 0.03]. Use of proton-pump inhibitors (PPI) was associated with poor OS (HR = 1.83, 95% CI, 1.11-3.02; P = 0.02) and PFS (HR = 1.94, 95% CI, 1.22-3.09; P = 0.005), and lower DCR (OR = 0.38, 95% CI, 0.17-0.89; P = 0.03) and ORR (OR = 0.18, 95% CI, 0.02-1.60; P = 0.002). The three risk category prognostic model developed included Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status, PPI use, albumin level, presence of liver metastases, and presence of peritoneal metastases variables and was associated with higher risk of death (HR = 3.00, 95% CI, 1.97-4.56; P = 0.0001).ConclusionsThis study confirms anti-PD-(L)1 monotherapy as a safe and effective treatment option in daily clinical practice for mUC patients. It also describes the presence of peritoneal metastases as an independent prognostic factor for OS and underlines the association between PPI use and worse therapeutic outcomes. Finally, it proposes a new easy-to-use risk-assessment model for OS prediction.
