Abstract

Background: The benefit of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) for poor performance status patients with advanced urothelial carcinoma (UC) remains unknown.

Objective: In the present sub-analysis of the ARON-2 study, we investigated the role of pembrolizumab for advanced UC patients with ECOG (Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group) performance status (ECOG-PS) 2.

Patients and methods: Patients aged ≥ 18 years with a cytologically and/or histologically confirmed diagnosis of advanced UC progressing or recurring after platinum-based therapy and treated with pembrolizumab between 1 January 2016 to 1 April 2024 were included. In this sub-analysis we focused on patients with ECOG-PS 2.

Results: We included 1,040 patients from the ARON-2 dataset; of these, 167 patients (16%) presented an ECOG-PS 2. The median overall survival (OS) was 14.8 months (95% confidence interval (CI) 12.5-16.1) in the overall study population, 18.2 months (95% CI 15.8-22.2) in patients with ECOG-PS 0-1, and 3.7 months (95% CI 3.2-5.2) in subjects with ECOG-PS 2 (p < 0.001). The median progression-free survival (PFS) in the overall study population was 5.3 months (95% CI 4.3-97.1), 6.2 months (95% CI 5.5-97.1) in patients with ECOG-PS 0-1, and 2.8 months (95% CI 2.1-3.4) in patients with ECOG-PS 2. Among the latter, liver metastases and progressive disease during first-line therapy were significant predictors of OS at both univariate and multivariate analyses. For PFS, univariate and multivariate analyses showed a prognostic role for lung metastases, liver metastases, and progressive disease during first-line therapy.

Conclusions: This large real-world evidence study suggests the effectiveness of second-line pembrolizumab for mUC patients with poor performance status. The presence of liver metastases and progressive disease during first-line therapy is associated with worse clinical outcomes and, thus, should be taken into account when making treatment decisions in clinical practice.

Pembrolizumab在ECOG表现为2级的晚期尿路上皮癌患者中的应用：来自ARON-2项目的真实世界研究。

背景：免疫检查点抑制剂（ICIs）对晚期尿路上皮癌（UC）患者的益处尚不清楚：免疫检查点抑制剂（ICIs）对晚期尿路上皮癌（UC）表现状态不佳患者的益处仍然未知：在本项ARON-2研究的子分析中，我们研究了pembrolizumab对ECOG（东部合作肿瘤学组）表现状态（ECOG-PS）为2的晚期UC患者的作用：纳入年龄≥18岁、细胞学和/或组织学确诊为晚期UC、铂类治疗后进展或复发、2016年1月1日至2024年4月1日期间接受过pembrolizumab治疗的患者。在这项子分析中，我们重点关注ECOG-PS为2.的患者：总研究人群的中位总生存期（OS）为14.8个月（95%置信区间（CI）12.5-16.1），ECOG-PS 0-1患者为18.2个月（95% CI 15.8-22.2），ECOG-PS 2患者为3.7个月（95% CI 3.2-5.2）（P 结论：这一大型真实世界证据研究表明，ECOG-PS 2患者的中位总生存期为14.8个月（95%置信区间（CI）12.5-16.1），ECOG-PS 0-1患者为18.2个月（95% CI 15.8-22.2），ECOG-PS 2患者为3.7个月（95% CI 3.2-5.2）：这项大型真实世界证据研究表明，pembrolizumab 二线治疗表现不佳的 mUC 患者是有效的。在一线治疗期间出现肝转移和疾病进展与较差的临床预后有关，因此在临床实践中做出治疗决定时应将其考虑在内。
