Immune checkpoint inhibitors for advanced non-small cell lung cancer with preexisting COPD and CT-defined emphysema: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Background
Preexisting chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD) and Computed Tomography(CT)-defined emphysema are associated with worse prognosis in patients with non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC) receiving chemotherapy, but the impact of these comorbidities on patients undergoing immune checkpoint inhibitors(ICIs) remains largely unclear.
Methods
Studies on the safety and efficacy outcomes among advanced NSCLC with preexisting COPD and CT-defined emphysema receiving ICIs from various databases up to August 2024 were collected. The number of events, as well as pooled effect size [odds ratio(OR) and hazard ratio (HR)] and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were obtained.
Results
A total of 21 studies (7 on efficacy, 11 on safety, and 3 on both) were included. Meta-analysis revealed the pooled overall response rate (ORR) and pooled disease control rate (DCR) were 38% and 62%, respectively. Compared to patients without preexisting COPD and CT-defined emphysema, the pooled OR for ORR and DCR was 1.88 (95% CI, 1.45–2.44) and 2.23 (95% CI, 1.67–2.98), without heterogeneity. COPD and CT-defined emphysema were also associated with better progression-free survival (HR, 0.63 [95% CI, 0.50–0.80]) and overall survival (HR, 0.59 [95% CI, 0.41–0.88]). The pooled incidences of any grade and grade 3 or higher checkpoint inhibitor-related pneumonitis (CIP) were 20% and 6% in patients with preexisting COPD and CT-defined emphysema, which was significantly higher than that in those without these comorbidities (OR, 1.97 [95% CI, 1.41–2.76]; OR, 2.52 [95% CI, 1.72–3.70]). Moreover, most cases of CIP (84.0%) improved with ICIs discontinuation and/or the administration of corticosteroids.
Conclusion
Preexisting COPD and CT-defined emphysema were associated with favorable clinical efficacy and increased risk of CIP in the immunotherapy era. Most cases of CIP are treatable and manageable.
