英文摘要 | Simple Summary The liver is a common metastatic site of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and is associated with a poor prognosis. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), represented by programmed death-1 (PD-1)/ programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1) inhibitors, have significantly improved efficacy in patients with advanced NSCLC, but the efficacy in patients with NSCLC and liver metastases remains controversial. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors in patients with NSCLC and liver metastases in the real-world. In this study, we illustrated that PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors are effective in NSCLC patients with liver metastases but were inferiorly effective in patients without liver metastases. In addition, PD-L1 expression and CD8+ T cell infiltration may be potential biomarkers for PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor therapy in NSCLC patients with liver metastases. Background: A controversy exists regarding the efficacy of programmed death-1 (PD-1)/ programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1) inhibitors for patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and liver metastases. Our study retrospectively evaluated the efficacy of PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors in NSCLC patients with liver metastases. Methods: This retrospective study included 1627 lung cancer patients who received immunotherapy. Among 648 patients who had advanced NSCLC and received PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors, 61 had liver metastases and 587 did not have. We analyzed patient characteristics, progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). An exploratory analysis of biomarkers including CD4, CD8 and CD68 for efficacy in patients with liver metastases was also performed. Results: In liver metastasis patients receiving PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors, the objective response rate (ORR) was 29.5%, the disease control rate (DCR) was 72.1%, PFS was 6.4 months and OS was 15.2 months, which were all worse than those of patients without liver metastases (ORR: 35.8%; DCR: 81.8%; PFS: 7.9 months, p = 0.001; OS: 20.6 months, p = 0.008). When compared to non-liver lesions, the ORR (26.2 vs. 39.3%) and DCR (75.4 vs. 88.5%) of liver lesions were lower. During the analysis of PD-L1 expression, 27 PD-L1-positive patients had a longer PFS than 21 patients in the negative group (p = 0.012). Being PD-L1 positive was the independent prognostic indicators for PFS (p = 0.006). Additionally, the PD-L1 and CD8 dual-positive group responded favorably to PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors. Conclusions: PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors are effective in liver metastasis-NSCLC patients. However, the efficacy is inferior when compared to those of patients without liver metastases. In NSCLC patients with liver metastases, PD-L1 expression and CD8+ T cell infiltration can predict the response of PD-1/PD-L1-directed immunotherapy. |
