Abstract
Background
Immune-related biomarkers are linked to the outcomes of cancer immunotherapy. This study evaluates the baseline and longitudinal association between the lung immune prognostic index (LIPI) and immune checkpoint inhibitor outcomes in previously treated recurrent or metastatic (R/M) nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) patients.
Methods
Data from 153 R/M NPC patients (median age = 49.00 years old) enrolled in a multicenter, single-arm, phase 2 study (NCT03848286) were analyzed. Pretreatment LIPI was classified into good and intermediate/poor (inter/poor) groups. Longitudinal LIPI variations were categorized into “Stable good”, “Trend to increase”, “Trend to decrease”, and “Stable inter/poor”. Primary and secondary outcomes were overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), objective response rate (ORR), and disease control rate (DCR).
Results
Pretreatment LIPI was significantly associated with OS (inter/poor vs. good: HR = 2.54, 95 % CI: 1.60–4.04, P < 0.001), PFS [inter/poor vs. good: hazard ratio (HR) = 2.18, 95 % CI: 1.47–3.23, P < 0.001], and DCR [inter/poor vs. good: odd ratio (OR) = 0.26, 95 % CI: 0.12–0.58, P < 0.001)]. Patients with persistently inter/poor LIPI status showed worse OS (HR = 3.25, 95 % CI: 1.84–5.74, P < 0.001), PFS (HR = 2.96, 95 % CI: 1.85–4.74, P < 0.001), and ORR (OR = 0.21, 95 % CI: 0.08–0.56, P < 0.001) compared to the persistently good subgroup.
Conclusion
Pretreatment LIPI and its longitudinal variations may serve as potential biomarkers for predicting immune checkpoint inhibitor outcomes in R/M NPC patients.
