Abstract

Background: In the recent years, immunotherapeutics and specifically immunecheckpoints inhibitors have marked a significant shift in the diagnostic and therapeutic algorithm of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC), allowing us to use immunotherapeutics alone or combined with chemotherapy for a great subset of patients. However, new interesting approaches are being presently investigated, markedly immunotherapy combinations, that is, the use of two or more immunotherapeutics combined.

Methods: In particular, the combination of anti-PD-1 nivolumab and anti-CTLA-4 ipilimumab has already provided groundbreaking positive results in the advanced NSCLC and other combinations are currently under investigation.

Results: Therefore, this paper aims to provide a comprehensive state-of-the-art review about immunotherapy combination, along with suggestions about future directions. A comprehensive literature search was carried out to identify eligible studies from MEDLINE/PubMed and ClinicalTrials.gov.

Conclusion: Nivolumab plus ipilimumab represent the most promising immunotherapy combination for the treatment of advanced NSCLC patients; safety, tolerability and efficacy of new immunotherapeutics (in monotherapy and in immunotherapy combinations) must be further assessed in future studies.

治疗晚期非小细胞肺癌的新免疫疗法组合:现状与展望。
背景:近年来,免疫疗法和特异性免疫检查点抑制剂标志着非小细胞肺癌(NSCLC)诊断和治疗算法的重大转变,使我们能够单独使用免疫疗法或联合化疗治疗很大一部分患者。然而,目前正在研究新的有趣的方法,特别是免疫治疗联合,即联合使用两种或两种以上的免疫疗法。方法:特别是,抗pd -1 nivolumab和抗ctla -4 ipilimumab的联合治疗已经在晚期NSCLC中取得了突破性的阳性结果,其他联合治疗目前正在研究中。因此,本文旨在对免疫治疗联合治疗的研究进展进行综述,并对未来的发展方向提出建议。我们进行了全面的文献检索,以从MEDLINE/PubMed和clinicaltrials .gov中确定符合条件的研究。结论:Nivolumab + ipilimumab是治疗晚期NSCLC患者最有希望的免疫治疗组合;新的免疫疗法(单药和联合免疫疗法)的安全性、耐受性和有效性必须在未来的研究中进一步评估。
