Abstract

INTRODUCTION In this study, we aimed to identify biomarkers for predicting treatment outcomes and efficacy of chemotherapy plus nivolumab, as well as predict immune-related adverse events (irAEs) characteristics of immune checkpoint inhibitors. METHODS This multicenter study included 104 patients who received chemotherapy plus nivolumab as the primary treatment for unresectable advanced recurrent gastric cancer. Blood test results were collected before the start and after two courses of treatment. The neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio, prognostic nutritional index (PNI), and lactate dehydrogenase/albumin ratio (LAR) were examined after treatment in each case to determine changes compared to values before the start of treatment. RESULTS A total of 57 (54.8%) patients experienced a complete or partial response. The LAR of the stable disease (SD)/progressive disease (PD) group significantly increased (p=0.018). An examination of the presence of grade ≥3 irAEs and changes in related factors showed that the LAR of all patients increased. CONCLUSION The LAR was correlated with the best therapeutic response; therefore, it may be a potential biomarker of treatment outcomes and efficacy.

期刊介绍： Although laboratory and clinical cancer research need to be closely linked, observations at the basic level often remain removed from medical applications. This journal works to accelerate the translation of experimental results into the clinic, and back again into the laboratory for further investigation. The fundamental purpose of this effort is to advance clinically-relevant knowledge of cancer, and improve the outcome of prevention, diagnosis and treatment of malignant disease. The journal publishes significant clinical studies from cancer programs around the world, along with important translational laboratory findings, mini-reviews (invited and submitted) and in-depth discussions of evolving and controversial topics in the oncology arena. A unique feature of the journal is a new section which focuses on rapid peer-review and subsequent publication of short reports of phase 1 and phase 2 clinical cancer trials, with a goal of insuring that high-quality clinical cancer research quickly enters the public domain, regardless of the trial’s ultimate conclusions regarding efficacy or toxicity.
