Immune checkpoint inhibitors enrich the therapeutic landscape in oesophago-gastric carcinoma. With regard to oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), the selective PD-1 (programmed cell death receptor 1)-inhibitor nivolumab improves disease-free survival in the adjuvant therapy setting (CHECKMATE-577). In first-line treatment, ESCC patients (pts) benefit in overall survival (OS) from the PD-1-inhibitor pembrolizumab in combination with chemotherapy (KEYNOTE-590). In the second-line setting, nivolumab (ATTRACTION-03) and pembrolizumab (KEYNOTE-181) demonstrate a benefit in OS compared with chemotherapy. These data resulted in the approval of nivolumab for the second-line treatment of advanced ESCC pts regardless of PD-L1 (programmed cell death ligand 1) status in Europe, Asia, and the USA, and pembrolizumab for pts with PD-L1 CPS (combined positivity score) ≥ 10 in Asia and the USA. Further approvals can be expected. In gastro-oesophageal junction and gastric cancer, the addition of nivolumab to chemotherapy in first-line treatment improves OS in pts with advanced disease with PD-L1 CPS ≥ 5 (CHECKMATE-649). Additionally, pembrolizumab was non-inferior to chemotherapy for OS in PD-L1 CPS ≥ 1 pts (KEYNOTE-062). In third-line treatment, nivolumab shows benefits in OS regardless of PD-L1 expression (ATTRACTION-02) with approval in Asia, and pembrolizumab prolonged the duration of response in PD-L1 positive pts (KEYNOTE-059) with approval in the USA. We discuss the recent results of the completed phase II and III clinical trials.

e16017 Camrelizumab combined with SOX regimen in the first-line treatment of unresectable advanced or recurrent gastric cancer£ºA single-arm, prospective, open clinical study. Background: Gastric cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors of the digestive system. In China, 80% of patients with gastric cancer are already in advanced or locally advanced stage at the time of detection. Even after receiving radical gastrectomy, more than half of patients will have local recurrence or distant metastasis, and the 5-year survival rate of patients with gastric cancer with metastasis is less than 10%.In recent years, more and more evidence supports the application of immune checkpoint inhibitors in advanced gastric cancer.In 2020, PD-1 was approved for advanced gastric cancer receiving second-line or above treatment in China, which is an affirming of the efficacy of PD-1 in the clinical treatment of gastric cancer. Immunotherapy combined with conventional chemotherapy, this study aims to explore the efficacy and safety of PD1 combined with chemotherapy in the treatment of first-line gastric cancer. Methods: This was a single center, prospective clinical study conducted at the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University, Jiangsu Province.Patients with newly treated unresectable advanced or recurrent gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma were enrolled.All enrolled subjects were treated with camrelizumab combined with SOX regimen every 3 weeks.The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS).Secondary endpoints were overall survival (OS), objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), and safety.This study was registered at Chictr.org.cn with the number Chictr2000029691. Results: The study plans to enroll 30 patients, and 16 patients have been included in the study from March 2020 to December 2020. Among them, 7 patients can be evaluated, 14 males, 2 females, ECOG score 0 or 1. Of the 7 patients who can be evaluated for efficacy, 1 achieved PR and 5 achieved SD, ORR was 14.29%, and DCR was 85.71 %. This is the early stage of data analysis, PFS has not yet reached, and the side effects are mild, mainly with grade 1 adverse reactions. The most common AEs are neutropenia (3/7) and decreased appetite (2/7). There were no treatment-related deaths. Conclusions: This study provides preliminary evidence for the first-line treatment of unresectable advanced or recurrent gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma with camrelizumab combined with chemotherapy. The current number of enrolled cases is small, but the preliminary effect of immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy in first-line patients with advanced gastric cancer can still be seen. This trial will further explore the clinical efficacy and safety of immunotherapy in the first-line gastric cancer. Clinical trial information: ChiCTR2000029691.

4043 Background: Elderly patients are often intolerable in the combination with cytotoxic agents. Therapy with S-1 alone is a key option for initial chemotherapy for Japanese elderly patients with unresectable gastric cancer in clinical practice. However, there are some cases in which the antitumor effects with S-1 alone are insufficient. We aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of S-1 plus ramucirumab therapy to elderly patients with advanced/recurrent gastric cancer. Methods: Patients aged 70 years and older with previously untreated unresectable or recurrent gastric cancer patients were included in Japan. They received S-1 therapy (40-60 mg twice daily for 28 days, every 6 weeks) plus ramucirumab therapy (8 mg/kg, every 2 weeks) until disease progression. The primary endpoint was the one-year survival rate and null hypothesis of one-year survival was set as 40%, which is the lower bound of the 95% confidence interval in previously reported studies on S-1 therapy. The secondary endpoints included progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), response rate (RR), and safety. Results: Between September 2017 and November 2019, 48 patients were enrolled in this study. The characteristics of patients were male/female: 34/14, median age: 77.5 years (range: 71-87), and PS (0/1): 20/28. The one-year survival rate was 65.2% (95% confidence interval 49.8-78.6%), which means this trial met the primary endpoint. The median OS and PFS were 16.4 months (95%CI:12.0–20.7) and 5.8 months (95%CI:4.0–7.2), respectively. The best RR (CR+PR) was 60.9%. The frequent grade 3 or grade 4 adverse events were neutropenia (27.7%), anorexia (23.4%), anemia (19.1%), hypertension (14.9%), leucopenia (12.8%) and hypoalbuminemia (12.8%). Conclusions: Based on the observed efficacy and safety, S-1 plus ramucirumab is an appropriate first-line treatment for elderly patients with advanced/recurrent gastric cancer. Clinical trial information: UMIN000028309.

BackgroundLung immune prognostic index (LIPI) refers to a biomarker combining derived neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (dNLR) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH). Its prognostic effect on advanced small cell lung cancer (SCLC) patients receiving programmed cell death 1/programmed cell death ligand-1 (PD-1/PD-L1) inhibitors plus chemotherapy as first-line treatment remains unclear. Our research investigated the relationship between pretreatment LIPI and the prognosis of patients receiving first-line PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors plus chemotherapy.MethodsAdvanced SCLC patients receiving PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors plus chemotherapy as first-line treatment from Jan 2015 to Oct 2020 were included. Based on the values of dNLR and LDH, the study population was divided into two groups: LIPI good and LIPI intermediate/poor. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to compute the median survival time and the log-rank test was used to compare the two groups. Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to examine the correlation between the pretreatment LIPI and clinical outcomes.ResultsOne hundred patients were included in this study, of which, 64% were LIPI good (dNLR < 4.0 and LDH < 283 U/L), 11% were LIPI poor (dNLR ≥ 4.0 and LDH ≥ 283 U/L), and the remaining 25% were LIPI intermediate. The LIPI good group had better progression-free survival (PFS) (median: 8.4 vs 4.7 months, p = 0.02) and overall survival (OS) (median: 23.8 vs 13.3 months, p = 0.0006) than the LIPI intermediate/poor group. Multivariate analysis showed that pretreatment LIPI intermediate/poor was an independent risk factor for OS (HR: 2.34; 95%CI, 1.13, 4.86; p = 0.02). Subgroup analysis showed that pretreatment LIPI good was associated with better PFS and OS in males, extensive disease (ED), PD-1 inhibitor treatment, smokers, and liver metastasis (p < 0.05).ConclusionsPretreatment LIPI could serve as a prognostic biomarker for advanced SCLC patients receiving first-line PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors plus chemotherapy.
