Abstract
Purpose: Neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy is emerging as a promising regimen for patients with locally advanced gastric and gastroesophageal junction (G/GEJ) adenocarcinoma. However, it remains unclear whether immunochemotherapy will bring more adverse events (AEs) leading to a delay or even cancellation of surgeries. We aimed to provide a comprehensive analysis of the toxicity profiles for immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) combined with chemotherapy among patients with G/GEJ adenocarcinoma.
Methods: Published trials up to January 2024 were identified on Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Embase, and PubMed. Single-group and controlled clinical trials with ICIs in combination with chemotherapy in patients with G/GEJ adenocarcinoma were included. Two reviewers independently extracted data including incidence rate of AEs. The primary outcomes included the proportion of patients with adverse events leading to treatment discontinuation, grade 3 or higher adverse events, and serious adverse events. This study is registered with PROSPERO (CRD42023492676).
Results: Twenty studies were included for a total of 6692 patients. In patients receiving immunochemotherapy, 17% (95% confidence interval (CI), 11-23%) had adverse events leading to treatment discontinuation, 23% (95% CI, 19-27%) had serious adverse events, and 64% (95% CI, 58-70%) had grade 3 or higher adverse events. Compared with patients receiving chemotherapy alone, patients with immunochemotherapy were associated with higher rates of adverse events leading to discontinuation (RR, 1.45; 95% CI, 1.32-1.60), serious adverse events (RR, 1.27; 95% CI, 1.04-1.57), and grade 3 or higher adverse events (RR, 1.15; 95% CI, 1.07-1.23).
Conclusions: In conclusion, the incidence of adverse events leading to discontinuation, serious adverse events, and grade 3 or higher adverse events were higher in patients receiving immunochemotherapy compared to those with chemotherapy.
期刊介绍:
The Official Journal of the International Society for Cellular Oncology
Focuses on translational research
Addresses the conversion of cell biology to clinical applications
Cellular Oncology publishes scientific contributions from various biomedical and clinical disciplines involved in basic and translational cancer research on the cell and tissue level, technical and bioinformatics developments in this area, and clinical applications. This includes a variety of fields like genome technology, micro-arrays and other high-throughput techniques, genomic instability, SNP, DNA methylation, signaling pathways, DNA organization, (sub)microscopic imaging, proteomics, bioinformatics, functional effects of genomics, drug design and development, molecular diagnostics and targeted cancer therapies, genotype-phenotype interactions.
A major goal is to translate the latest developments in these fields from the research laboratory into routine patient management. To this end Cellular Oncology forms a platform of scientific information exchange between molecular biologists and geneticists, technical developers, pathologists, (medical) oncologists and other clinicians involved in the management of cancer patients.
In vitro studies are preferentially supported by validations in tumor tissue with clinicopathological associations.
