Abstract
Main problem: The efficacy and safety of platinum-based chemotherapy with programmed death-1 (PD-1) blockade after chemoradiotherapy (CRT) for the treatment of limited disease (LD) small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is unknown. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness and tolerability of platinum-based chemotherapy with PD-1 blockade in patients with recurrent LD-SCLC after CRT.
Methods: This retrospective study analyzed 66 patients who experienced recurrence after CRT for LD-SCLC and received platinum-based chemotherapy with PD-1 blockade therapy between August 2019 and September 2020 at 19 Japanese institutions. Clinical efficacy was assessed according to response rate, survival, and toxicity.
Results: The overall response rate was 53.0% (95% confidence interval [CI], 48.9-65.0), and the disease control rate was 78.7% (95% CI, 68.9-88.5). The median progression-free survival and overall survival periods were 5.9 (95% CI, 4.7-7.3) months and 24.9 (95% CI, 16.8-28.1) months, respectively. The frequencies of grade ≥ 3 hematological adverse events were as follows: leukopenia, 47.0%; neutropenia, 65.2%; and febrile neutropenia, 8.3%. There was no treatment-related death.
Conclusions: Chemoimmunotherapy is a feasible and effective treatment for recurrent disease after CRT in patients with LD-SCLC, providing a new potential option for the pharmacological management of these patients.
期刊介绍:
Thoracic Cancer aims to facilitate international collaboration and exchange of comprehensive and cutting-edge information on basic, translational, and applied clinical research in lung cancer, esophageal cancer, mediastinal cancer, breast cancer and other thoracic malignancies. Prevention, treatment and research relevant to Asia-Pacific is a focus area, but submissions from all regions are welcomed. The editors encourage contributions relevant to prevention, general thoracic surgery, medical oncology, radiology, radiation medicine, pathology, basic cancer research, as well as epidemiological and translational studies in thoracic cancer. Thoracic Cancer is the official publication of the Chinese Society of Lung Cancer, International Chinese Society of Thoracic Surgery and is endorsed by the Korean Association for the Study of Lung Cancer and the Hong Kong Cancer Therapy Society.
The Journal publishes a range of article types including: Editorials, Invited Reviews, Mini Reviews, Original Articles, Clinical Guidelines, Technological Notes, Imaging in thoracic cancer, Meeting Reports, Case Reports, Letters to the Editor, Commentaries, and Brief Reports.
