Early Change in C-Reactive Protein and Venous Thromboembolism in Patients Treated With Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors
Background
Patients with cancer treated with immune-checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have a substantial risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE). The association between ICI-induced inflammation and hypercoagulability is unclear, and no biomarkers currently exist to stratify VTE risk.
Objectives
The authors sought to determine the association between the early changes in C-reactive protein (CRP) after ICI initiation and the risk of VTE.
Methods
This retrospective cohort study included patients with cancer initiating ICI therapy from 2 academic cancer centers, serving as discovery and external validation cohorts. Patients were stratified based on CRP trajectories during the first 3 months of ICI treatment, with a CRP rise defined as a 2-fold increase from baseline. Patients were followed for VTE for the duration of ICI therapy, and competing risk and time-dependent analyses were used.
Results
A total of 822 patients were included. In the discovery cohort (n = 405), the cumulative VTE incidence in patients with a CRP rise (n = 159, 39.3%) was 19.9% (95% CI: 8.4%-34.8%), compared with 8.6% (3.1%-17.6%) in those without a CRP rise. After adjusting for key patient- and cancer-specific confounders, the subdistribution HR for VTE in patients with a CRP rise was 2.64 (95% CI: 1.06-6.62). This was confirmed in the external validation cohort (n = 417; subdistribution HR: 2.25; 95% CI: 1.03-4.94), with VTE incidences of 22.9% (95% CI: 9.7%-39.3%) in patients with a CRP rise and 10.8% (95% CI: 7.4%-15.1%) in those without. The association between CRP rise and VTE risk was confirmed in a time-dependent analysis and was consistent after adjusting for disease progression as a potential time-dependent confounder.
Conclusions
Early CRP changes during ICI therapy are associated with an increased risk of VTE, suggesting a potential association between ICI-induced inflammation and hypercoagulability. CRP trajectories may serve as a biomarker for ICI-associated VTE.
期刊介绍:
JACC: CardioOncology is a specialized journal that belongs to the esteemed Journal of the American College of Cardiology (JACC) family. Its purpose is to enhance cardiovascular care for cancer patients by publishing high-quality, innovative scientific research and sharing evidence-based knowledge.
The journal aims to revolutionize the field of cardio-oncology and actively involve and educate professionals in both cardiovascular and oncology fields. It covers a wide range of topics including pre-clinical, translational, and clinical research, as well as best practices in cardio-oncology. Key areas of focus include understanding disease mechanisms, utilizing in vitro and in vivo models, exploring novel and traditional therapeutics (across Phase I-IV trials), studying epidemiology, employing precision medicine, and investigating primary and secondary prevention.
Amyloidosis, cardiovascular risk factors, heart failure, and vascular disease are some examples of the disease states that are of particular interest to the journal. However, it welcomes research on other relevant conditions as well.
