Abstract:
Objective:To observe the efficacy and adverse effects of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) treatment for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in the real world,and to explore the relationship between peripheral haematological indices and the efficacy of ICIs.Methods:We retrospectively analysed the immune response,case characteristics and peripheral haematological indices in 95 advanced NSCLC patients who received immunotherapy in our hospital,and univariate and multivariate statistical analyses were performed for the objective immune response.Results:The objective response rate of the 95 enrolled patients was 32.63% (31/95) and the disease control rate was 70.53% (67/95).The median progression-free survival was 4.1 months and the median overall survival was 9.5 months.Univariate analysis showed that the number of lines of therapy (P=0.016),driver genes (P=0.018),lymphocyte percentage (P=0.036),haemoglobin (P=0.049),haematocrit (P=0.039),prothrombin time (P=0.021),albumin (P=0.002),precursor albumin (P=0.031),lactate dehydrogenase (P=0.001),C-reactive protein (P=0.028),PNI (P=0.004) were associated with whether the disease was effectively controlled after ICIs treatment.Multivariate analysis identified lymphocyte percentage (P=0.042),albumin (P=0.003),lactate dehydrogenase (P=0.006),prognostic nutritional index (P=0.029) and number of treatment lines (P=0.011) as independent factors influencing the efficacy of ICIs.Conclusion:Early treatment with ICIs resulted in improved survival benefit,and the percentage of peripheral lymphocytes,albumin,lactate dehydrogenase,PNI could be used as potential biomarkers for predicting the efficacy of ICIs.
