摘要
背景:局部区域晚期鼻咽癌(NPC)放化疗后固结性程序性细胞死亡蛋白1 (PD-1)阻断的益处尚不清楚。方法:II-IVB期鼻咽癌患者在放化疗后每3周随机(2:1)接受200 mg派姆单抗或安慰剂治疗,最长可达17个周期。主要终点是3年无进展生存(PFS)。结果:53例患者被随机分配(pembrolizumab, n = 34;安慰剂,n = 19)。派姆单抗组和安慰剂组的3年PFS分别为56.5%和57.8%(单侧p = 0.142;分层HR, 0.408)。3级或以上不良事件仅发生在派姆单抗组(8.8%)。在一项探索性分析(n = 40)中,高瘤内TIL密度与派姆单抗组的复发减少相关(OR, 0.04; p = 0.010),而安慰剂组则没有。结论:巩固派姆单抗不能改善未选择的局部晚期鼻咽癌患者的PFS。探索性免疫分析提出了一个预测性信号,保证了前瞻性验证。
Randomized Phase II Trial of Consolidation Pembrolizumab After Definitive Chemoradiotherapy in Locally Advanced Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma: KCSG HN19-09, CONPELAN Study
Background
The benefit of consolidation programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) blockade after chemoradiotherapy in locoregionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) remains unclear.
Methods
Patients with stages II–IVB NPC were randomized (2:1) to pembrolizumab 200 mg or placebo every 3 weeks for up to 17 cycles after chemoradiotherapy. The primary endpoint was 3-year progression-free survival (PFS).
Results
Fifty-three patients were randomized (pembrolizumab, n = 34; placebo, n = 19). The 3-year PFS rates were 56.5% and 57.8% in the pembrolizumab and placebo arms, respectively (one-sided p = 0.142; stratified HR, 0.408). Grade 3 or higher adverse events occurred only in the pembrolizumab arm (8.8%). In an exploratory analysis (n = 40), high intratumoral TIL density was associated with reduced recurrence in the pembrolizumab arm (OR, 0.04; p = 0.010) but not the placebo arm.
Conclusions
Consolidation pembrolizumab did not improve PFS in unselected locally advanced NPC. Exploratory immune profiling suggested a predictive signal warranting prospective validation.
