Abstract
Background: Treatment-related skin reactions (TRSRs) induced by enfortumab vedotin (EV) targeting nectin-4 are among the most common adverse events. However, their association with survival and treatment response is poorly understood.
Methods: We retrospectively identified patients who received EV from December 2021 to April 2023 at Nagoya University Hospital and its affiliated facilities and extracted clinical data from their medical records. We evaluated cancer-specific survival (CSS) and progression-free survival (PFS) as survival outcomes and overall response rate (ORR) and disease control rate (DCR) as treatment responses between patients with and without TRSRs.
Results: In total, 67 eligible patients were identified. Thirty-four patients experienced TRSRs, and the remaining 33 did not experience TRSRs. The median follow-up period was 8 months. Patients in the TRSRs group demonstrated significantly longer median CSS (15 vs. 8 months; p = 0.003) and median PFS (10 vs. 5 months; p < 0.001) than the non-TRSRs. Regarding treatment response, the patients in the TRSRs group showed a favorable, albeit nonsignificant, treatment response trend compared with those in the non-TRSRs group (ORR, 73.5% vs. 51.5%; p = 0.107; DCR, 91.2 % vs. 81.8%; p = 0.444).
Conclusions: Patients with TRSRs demonstrated more prolonged survival and superior treatment responses to EV treatment. The role of TRSR as a surrogate marker of EV's efficacy should be further explored in prospective and sufficiently powered studies.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Clinical Oncology (IJCO) welcomes original research papers on all aspects of clinical oncology that report the results of novel and timely investigations. Reports on clinical trials are encouraged. Experimental studies will also be accepted if they have obvious relevance to clinical oncology. Membership in the Japan Society of Clinical Oncology is not a prerequisite for submission to the journal. Papers are received on the understanding that: their contents have not been published in whole or in part elsewhere; that they are subject to peer review by at least two referees and the Editors, and to editorial revision of the language and contents; and that the Editors are responsible for their acceptance, rejection, and order of publication.
